Hello, my name is LV (they/ them). I am a queer counsellor offering online sessions. No matter what you want to explore in therapy, I will listen with empathy, and help you to better understand your experiences and options.

The Holistic Clinic offers LGBTQI+-affirming therapy for anxiety, stress, and confidence issues. We specialise in HypnoCBT — a powerful combination of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and clinical hypnotherapy that delivers faster, deeper results than talk therapy alone. As members of the LGBTQI+ community ourselves, we understand minority stress, identity challenges, and the exhaustion of navigating spaces not designed for you. You won’t need to explain your experience — we get it. We offer sessions in London and online across the UK and internationally. Free 15-minute consultations available.

I identify as queer and genderfluid. ​ After starting my working life as an actor, I began my counselling journey over 30 years ago as a Samaritan volunteer and spent 10 years working as a Counselling Supervisor at ChildLine.

I am a member of the Gendered Intelligence Network for Therapists and Counsellors. I also am a qualified teacher. Please see my website for current availability.
