Why they became a therapist.

"I realised that I love talking to people and was told by my friends that this is something I can really do well in. I have always been interested in people and the stories that are woven around them. It just made sense for me to help facilitate the ease for those stories."

What they'd like a client's first session to be like.

"That it was a truly safe and affirming space for them and they could stop, ponder and wonder at themselves for a while..."

How they make their practice a safe and affirmative space for queer and trans* folx.

"Pronouns while introducing myself really help. Telling them about my experience with other queer and trans folks is another thing and sharing my lived experience becomes integral to my practice."

Areas of concern they address in counselling.

"I like to concentrate on the socio-political realities and marginalised identities such as gender/ class/ caste/neuro-developmental realities."
