Nate Speare (Online Therapy)

Hello, my name is Nate (he/him). I am a UKCP-registered psychotherapist offering LGBTQ+ affirmative psychotherapy online. As a Queer therapist, I recognise the importance of working in ways that feel emotionally safe, culturally informed, and affirming of complexity and difference. My practice is grounded in anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive ways of working.

I aim to provide a reflective and collaborative space where you can think openly about your experiences, relationships, sexuality, identity, and emotional life. I believe the therapeutic relationship itself can become an important part of understanding patterns of intimacy, shame, self-protection, vulnerability, or disconnection that may emerge both within therapy and elsewhere in life.

I have extensive experience working with sexuality and intimacy, sexual health and HIV, psychosexual concerns, compulsive sexual behaviour, drug and alcohol issues, and the long-term impact of trauma and difficult early relational experiences.

Alongside private practice, I currently work psychotherapeutically within specialist NHS mental health services and have a longstanding background in NHS sexual health services. I originally qualified with the BACP in 2013 and qualified with the UKCP in 2024. I have also completed doctoral training in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy and am awaiting formal conferment.

Starting therapy can feel exposing, particularly if you have struggled to feel understood elsewhere. I aim to offer a compassionate, thoughtful, and non-judgemental space where we can explore what feels difficult at a pace that feels manageable for you. You are welcome to reach out if this way of working resonates with you.
