Gail's journey to being a therapist started when she worked as a research and policy officer at Up-2-Us, who support looked after children, and young women in the criminal justice system. It was her experiences there that motivated her to move into youth work and from there she decided to pursue her qualification to work therapeutically with people.

She aims to help build self-acceptance and self-embracement. Gail considers herself an LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent ally. She welcomes those who wish to explore these parts of themselves. In general, Gail hopes to work with you in a holistic and inclusive way.
