the Aurally Divergent Psychotherapy

Professional Journey and Profile

I have always held a deep curiosity around how we make sense of and navigate connections. Not just with our selves and significant others but also the multiple worlds we inhabit. School, work, neighbourhoods and digital realms, to name a few. This curiosity propelled me on a professional odyssey across three countries, holding a wide spectrum of roles across vastly different landscapes.

Dual qualified as a social worker and family and systemic psychotherapist, I bring over 20 years of clinical experience working within diverse cultural contexts. My practice encompasses working with individuals, couples, families, and groups, with a strong background in supporting families with children under 18. I specialise in supporting clients to navigate complex family dynamics and relationship transitions, and to understand the psychological impact of systemic oppression and minority stress.

I welcome the full, complex spectrum of human and family life, through my own lived experience has drawn me to the unique landscape of aural divergence and hearing differences.

My work is anchored in my longer training courses though I regularly attend short courses and specialised workshops not only to keep on top of the latest developments within therapy, but to consistently challenge myself as a practitioner. If you feel my practice resonates with what you are looking for, I invite you to see what our collaboration looks like. 

Guest Speaking and Contributions:

I contribute to counselling and collaborative care seminars as a guest speaker for advanced, master’s-level Audiology courses at the world-renowned University College London’s Ear Institute.

By intentionally blending my professional psychotherapeutic practice with my personal lived experience of a hearing difference, I challenge and disrupt conventional medical and rehabilitative frameworks in hearing care. Through this unique dual perspective, I support audiologists to confront the relational impacts of standard practice, and consider the possibilities as collaborative allies who actively depathologise hearing differences.
