Hi, I’m Karen. I’m an LGBTQIA+ affirming relationship therapist working with adults and couples to strengthen relationships, improve communication, and navigate life’s challenges. Whether you’re feeling disconnected from your partner, exploring your identity, coming out later in life, living with neurodivergence, or carrying the impact of trauma or past relationships, I offer a warm, collaborative and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard, understood and supported. Having come out later in life and being neurodivergent myself, I bring both professional expertise and lived experience. My aim is to help you build healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

I am Kael, a Chartered Clinical Psychologist and founder of Storms Edge Therapy in central London. I have been working online since 2016 and specialise in supporting LGBTQIA+ clients whose lives intersect with experiences often described as “personality disorders”. My focus is on understanding the underlying emotional wounds, relational patterns and resilience that shape a person’s inner world, rather than pathologising identity. I bring long-standing experience in GSRD communities and in holding complexity with care, nuance and respect.

As a qualified person-centred counsellor, I want to create an environment to help you identify the tools you need. I am here to lend a kind and compassionate ear and help you reflect on your experiences and feelings.  Counselling can be an overwhelming experience, especially if it’s your first time, and I want to be there to support you through the first steps or build on what you’ve already developed through previous counselling experiences.   

I am a qualified BACP psychotherapist/Counsellor and an almost qualified Counselling Psychologist as well as an LGBTQIA+ community member. I offer a warm, accepting, and non-judgemental therapeutic space and I work integratively from a trauma-informed perspective drawing on different therapeutic modalities depending on your needs, goals and preferences (including person-centred, CBT, CFT, Narrative and also utilise some elements of DBT and SFT). My practice is both LGBTQIA+ and Neurodivergent affirmative and I have lived, worked and been educated in four different countries so I am used to and value different communication and interactional styles.

Hello, my name is Dr Nate Speare (he/him). I am a UKCP-registered psychotherapist offering online LGBTQ+ affirmative psychotherapy. As a Queer therapist, I aim to work in ways that feel psychologically safe, collaborative, and affirming of complexity and difference. I have particular experience working with Gender, Sexuality and Relationship Diversity (GSRD), sexuality and intimacy, relational trauma, psychosexual concerns, and emotional and psychological difficulties. Therapy offers an opportunity to explore not only what is happening in the present, but also how past experiences and patterns of relating may continue to shape your emotional life, relationships, and sense of self.

Hi, I’m Kate. I know that finding a therapist can feel daunting, particularly if you’ve spent time feeling misunderstood, judged, or like you need to explain every part of yourself. I aim to offer a therapeutic relationship where you can talk openly and honestly, without feeling pressure to mask, justify or fit into someone else’s expectations. Alongside my professional training, I bring lived experience of neurodivergence (ADHD and autism) and of the LGBTQIA+ community. Every person’s story is unique, and my role is to work alongside you with curiosity, compassion and respect for your individual experience.    

I am an experienced counsellor supporting individuals across Greater Manchester for the past 8 years. Since the pandemic, I have moved some of my practice online and now support individuals across England & Wales. I work with whatever a client brings but have a particular interest in supporting people with their relationships and mental health.
