I am a professional trainer and BACP accredited humanistic counsellor with a private practice on the Derbyshire/Nottinghamshire border and via online counselling. I’m also a non-binary transgender person and we use neutral language to describe ourselves. With a particular interest and specialism in gender and complex trauma, the focus of our MA in Trauma Studies was how gender influences trauma and our response to trauma. My “giftwork” business model allocates 50% of our working hours to voluntary work in support and awareness raising for the trans community.
