I’m the founder of Queer-Therapy.LGBT, an affirming, queer space for you to bring your whole self, online and face to face in Brighton & Hove at The Queer Therapy Hub.

I’ve had the privilege of being in the role of Psychotherapist and Counsellor for the past decade, with extensive experience as a Gender, Sex and Relationship Diversity Therapist. I regularly support clients experiencing anxiety, stress, depression and disassociation.

My rich background is in advocacy within disabled, queer communities and survivors of abuse. My work is trauma informed, sex positive, gender affirming, neuro-affirming.

My relationship with you will be genuine, as you process any thoughts, feelings and life's experiences. I’ll be working for you to feel safe, within an empathic space, for you to explore as you need. I will offer you unconditional acceptance, warmth, and a genuine non-judgmental relationship. Long and short term work available. 18+.

I offer a free 15-minute introduction call to see if we're the right ‘fit’.

Please get in touch with any questions.

Client Testimonials:

“It's rare you will find a guy like AJ. When I first reached out to him I felt as if my life was going in a very negative direction. For the first time in a long time I am very excited to start the next step of my life. I highly recommend AJ to anyone struggling or facing difficulties.”

“AJ has helped me so much over the last years. Before AJ I had had several difficult transphobic experiences in counselling. I know what a challenge it is finding someone who can professionally hold non-judgemental space while also bringing care to the work.”

“AJ is an excellent counsellor and a caring listener. I've never once felt judged during a session and I've had the rare experience of feeling free to express myself. I will always be grateful for AJ’s work and care - thank you!”
