Spaces & Places
I work in a variety of different spaces and places to support people with my therapeutic practice. Whether it is one-to-one sessions through BetterHelp or my private practice, or therapy-adjacent/post-activist community spaces for co-creation and expression, you can find below the Places I inhabit. If you have any questions as to what may be best suited for you, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
And if you are looking to collaborate, or you are an organisation looking for someone to cultivate a new space with, look no further. Let's work together.
01
BetterHelp
The easiest way to start working with me as a client is through BetterHelp. It handles all of my calendar, bookings, and allows for regular weekly sessions with space to add in more. I also host group sessions through the platform, on burn-out, alternative living, COVID Consciousness, and "millennial moods!"
02
Ad Hoc Sessions
Sometimes we can't do regular sessions. Sometimes our lives are just so busy that we can only book in when we can find the time. As much as weekly sessions are seen to be more beneficial, I don't want to disallow people access to therapy who may be struggling against time poverty. My email is below, tell me your circumstances and we can work fortnightly, monthly, or simply ad hoc.
03
COVID Consciousness
We live in strange times where the threat of COVID is no longer discussed. Whether it is the media which has moved on, governments strategising away from health care to profit, or COVID becoming a taboo, it is hard to find spaces for those of us still following guidelines, or living with Long COVID, or for people grieving the initial public emergency.
As a COVID Conscious therapist who still masks and takes precautions where I can, I think it is crucial we cultivate spaces where we can talk openly about our COVID experiences. I host two events (click headers for eventbrite tickets, free+):
Covid Consciousness & Metacrisis
Split into three parts - a speaker, a support group session, and a chill house party vibe - this is a space for COVID conscious people to be open and free in their experiences
Covid Conscious Therapy Circle
A space for therapists who practice COVID Consciousness to speak of their experiences helping clients during this turbulent time.

Sanktuaree
"In a time where loneliness has become an epidemic, and unmet grief resides below and between so much of the world's preventable suffering⎯ we long to inhabit sanctuary in its myriad of forms." - únashay, Becoming Sanktuaree
I often return to the phrase τὸ τί ἦν εἶναι when in my own spiritual practice. I translate this, badly, as "it is what it is", and it is a reminder to bring myself back to the present, whatever I may be holding. Pain, sadness, regret; joy, elation, contentment.
Inspired by the work of únashay, TEN, and The Centre for Mad Culture, this is a weekly, one hour drop-in space, intended to be... whatever it is. Come as you are, and follow the philosophy of "share a story, ask a question, listen generously". It may be quiet meditation, it could be hearty debate, it could be holding grief or joy. This is a sanctuary.
