About the Therapist

About the therapist:

I am a person-centred existential therapist with over five years in private practice. My approach is relational, reflective, and grounded in curiosity, trust, and care. I support people in exploring meaning, identity, belonging, and life’s deeper questions at a pace that feels right for them.

As a gay man and queer therapist who is also neurodivergent, I bring both lived and professional experience to my work. I understand what it can feel like to move through a heteronormative and neurotypical world while holding yourself in. This is a space where you can be fully you.

My practice is affirming of kink, sex positive values, and consensual non monogamy including polyamory and open relationships.

Focus Areas:

LGBTQ+ identity and exploration
Coming out, gender identity, and sexuality
ADHD and autistic experience including burnout and masking
Relationship dynamics and emotional overwhelm
Anxiety, low self esteem, and inner critic work
Life transitions and existential reflection

Gay
Queer

Gender identity: Male

Gender history: As assigned at birth

Non-monogamy: Yes

Intersex: No

Experience and approach:

My practice is intersectional, inclusive, and grounded in respect. I welcome clients of all backgrounds, genders, and identities. Therapy is not about fixing you, but about meeting you where you are and supporting you to feel more grounded, more understood, and more yourself.
