About me 

Hi, my name is LV (they/them).
My previous professional experience has been working in communications and marketing roles for charities. Alongside this I spent many years volunteering on emotional support helplines - here, I witnessed how important space and a listening ear can be to people in distress.

​

I have many years’ experience in activist and community groups, usually centred around LGBTQ+ rights or feminism. I work from a feminist framework, and it’s important to me to hold an awareness of the ways in which societal injustice and oppression operate as part of my therapy work.

​

While my values and previous experiences inform my work, what initially inspired me to train as a therapist was my own experiences of having therapy. 

    Qualifications and experience

    I hold a Diploma in Integrative Counselling from The Minster Centre.
     

    I am a registered member of the British Assocation for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and abide by their ethical code. 

    I am currently studying for an MA in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy.

     

    During my counselling training I worked as a voluntary counsellor at elop, a holistic wellbeing and counselling service for LGBTQIA+ people.

    ​

    I have experience in working with people who have brought many different things to therapy including:  the impact of abuse; low self esteem; anxiety; exploring their gender or sexuality; life changes; trauma.
