I am a genderqueer femme lesbian therapist, specialising in work with adult queer and trans clients. My practice centres people whose lives sit outside the default setting: trans and non-binary folk, polycules, kink practitioners, queer migrants and people of colour, and anyone still discovering how they wish to live and love. Alongside clinical work I have lectured on LGBTQ+ mental health at postgraduate level and run group sessions for LGBTQ+ people of colour to share their stories together.  Therapy with me is spacious and practical. Some weeks we focus on day-to-day coping — sleep, boundaries, breath, nervous-system regulation. Other weeks

Hello and welcome to my site. My name is Derek Williams and I am a UKCP accredited psychotherapist and ensure that my work is not limited to one school of therapy. I try to ensure my approach is unique for each client. My various qualifications (both commercial and psychotherapeutic) coupled with past experience of working as a solicitor in the City of London enables me to work with clients in an innovative and creative fashion. I work remotely over the internet using Zoom, Skype or FaceTime. I also provide supervision for psychotherapists as required by the BACP and UKCP see my website at www.psychotherapy-supervision.co.uk for further details.

I’m a qualified therapist experienced in supporting individuals who identify as LGBT+ in addressing issues connected with self-esteem, self-worth and acceptance. My style is to encourage clients to speak in openness and confidence about difficult topics and emotions. You can be confident of working with someone who can understand the challenges you face, and above all, who has your back!
