Hello, I'm Briony (she/her).
I am neurodivergent. Like many women, it was not picked up on until adulthood. Therefore, it's important to me to use a neurodivergent-affirming approach.
I am part of the alt rock/metal community, so I understand
alt identity prejudice.
I am an integrative, BACP qualified counsellor and insured in private practice. You can find out more about my approach in the 'Counselling' section of my website.​​​

MY EXPERIENCE
I have 5 years experience of working as a mental health support worker in complex trauma. I use a trauma-informed approach. In my role I worked with self-injury, suicidality, depression and personality disorders. I also have experience volunteering with a young person's mental health charity and a student helpline. You can find in the 'Areas I Work In' section all topics I am experienced in and can support you with.

EDUCATION
I hold a Level 7 Masters degree in Counselling & Psychotherapy. I learned an integrative approach, including person-centred, psychodynamic and gestalt approaches. I undertook a placement in low-cost services and a placement in an intersectional therapy service.
I also have a degree in Psychology. During the degree I researched perceptions of men's mental health, and my favourite modules were clinical aspects of mental health and human sexuality.
