My name is Els, and if you are struggling, I am here to listen and to navigate these waters with you. Starting therapy can be a daunting experience, especially if you are a member of a marginalized group. You can feel reassured that your space with me is a place where you can express yourself freely. My specialisms include working with LGBTQI+ individuals, including exploring gender dysphoria, discrimination, and systemic abuse. I have many years experience working with survivors of trauma, particularly sexual violence. You deserve to heal, no matter what.

I am a UPCA accredited psychotherapeutic counsellor. Since 2011, I have worked as a psychotherapist and counsellor, support worker and group worker. As well as my private practice, I currently work for a young person’s charity supporting young queer humans navigate the many complexities inherent in growing up queer in a society that still ‘others’ – alongside the more ordinary complexities of what it means to be human.

Welcome. I’m Em (She/Her) a qualified integrative counsellor and registered BACP BiCA (British Infertility Counselling Association) and Creative Counsellors member, providing short and long term individual and relationship therapy in York.   I work to help people discover and accept who they are, what they want, to find their voice and make the changes they need to live a more fulfilling life. I provide inclusive, diversity-aware counselling, working respectfully and collaboratively across cultures and differences.

Welcome, I’m Joy (she/they). I’m a qualified psychotherapist working with individuals and couples online. With particular experience in LGBTQIA+, Neurodivergence & the Performing Arts, I offer a compassionate, sincere and confidential space for individuals and couples to work through their experiences. My practice is trauma-informed and neuro-affirming, which means I am comfortable working with trauma-based and neurodiverse frameworks. I work with a range of issues including anxiety, depression, low self esteem, attachment, bereavement, dissociation and stress. Mostly, though, I am interested in you, and supporting you with the courageous decision to get to know yourself better.

I’m Dan, I have a wealth of experience working alongside trauma (for all ages) for individuals and couples, to accept, empathise, and be curious whilst working with attachment issues. I have experience working with all ages, genders, sexual identities, queer identities, with focus on the LGBTQ+ community, also being queer myself. Currently offering video therapy and Walk & Talk therapy (midlands only). I work with you, alongside you, not “at you”, going at your pace, utilising many approaches for what you might want or need.

My name is David, a gay mature man with a great deal of both life experience, and extensive experience working as a counsellor.  Some of my experiences included  working with LGBTQ+ individuals as a counsellor for London Friend.  Helping clients who were struggling with their sexuality, including addressing some unhelpful patterns of behaviour, defences, and challenging core beliefs.  Aiding clients to effectively manage anxiety, self-doubt, shame and relationship difficulties with increased confidence, authenticity and openness.  Gaining new insight with new coping strategies, thus empowering clients to find their inner strength and resilience, therefore, fostering growth.

My art psychotherapy offering is person centred, adapting my approach to the clients needs, whether this be play centred, talk focused or mess-making sessions. Hello! My name is Jess and I’m from the Midlands in the UK. I’m currently living between London and travelling around Europe; when on these adventures I love to hike, paddleboard and dive. At home I have a gorgeous Maine-coon cat named Mycelium who rules the roost, and I like to spend my free time dancing, gaming and being outdoors.
