Nigel Sutcliffe Wellbeing
About the Therapist
I’m an openly gay man and a fully qualified integrative therapist with over 10 years of experience. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each individual. I work with people from all walks of life, but I have particular experience supporting members of the LGBTQI+ community. Creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can truly be yourself is at the heart of what I do.
I have worked extensively with a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, behavioural and anger challenges, gender identity and sexuality, adverse childhood experiences, problematic sexual behaviours, porn addiction or compulsions, trauma (using EMDR), sexual abuse, and relationship difficulties.
I’m a registered member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP), hold full public liability insurance, and engage in regular supervision. I also commit to ongoing professional development to ensure my practice remains current, ethical, and responsive to your needs.
I offer both face-to-face and online therapy from my practice in Deal, Kent, and am available for both short-term and long-term work depending on what feels right for you.
If you’d like to explore working together, I’d be happy to hear from you.

I hold a Master’s degree in Counselling and have completed additional training in trauma-focused therapies. I’m also a qualified EMDR therapist. While these formal qualifications are important, I believe the most valuable insight I bring to my work comes from my own lived experience. As an openly gay man for nearly 30 years, I’ve navigated a wide range of life’s challenges and triumphs. This personal journey has shaped my understanding in ways no textbook ever could, and it deeply informs the empathy, presence, and support I offer in the therapy room.
