About Me
I have a degree as a person-centred counselor from the City of North East London and work part-time as a volunteer counselor at London Friend, the UK's longest-running LGBTQI+ charity.
I personally have spent over 20 years grappling with the challenges posed by my '“diagnoses” of ADHD, Autism and Dyslexia. Throughout this time, I have navigated the complexities of family dynamics, relationships, sexuality, education, and the professional world, encountering varying degrees of support and success.
In my previous line of work in the film industry, I battled burnouts, bullying, discrimination, harassment and endured a multitude of unethical working conditions. This then led me, along with my friend, to establish a non-profit collective aimed at advocating for marginalised groups within the film industry, a collective for 500+ female, non-binary and trans-identifying editors. Together, we worked closely with the film and TV union advocating for terms, conditions and better pay, to bring about positive change.
My personal experiences, coupled with my professional endeavours, have enabled me to recognise the intricate interplay and societal pressures exerted by capitalism and systemic discrimination on minority groups, nature, and the universal pursuit of happiness and personal growth. I strongly believe in continuous self-development and awareness in my own work and specially around disability, race, gender, sexuality, class, age, religion, relationship styles, and how they are affected from an intersectional perspective.
