I am credentialed in the UK with over 4 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, lgbtq+ related issues, trauma and abuse, & depression. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Hi, I’m Mark (he/him). I’m a gay man and BACP registered therapist, working primarily with gay and bisexual men on the challenges of queer life; identity, self-worth, belonging, and the anxiety that often runs underneath. I understand these not just professionally but personally, as someone who has navigated them myself. I also bring lived experience of ADHD and chronic illness, and welcome clients dealing with neurodivergence or health-related issues alongside their lived experience. Ultimately, I support gay men to live a more authentic life.

Hello, I’m Martyn (he/him) As a counsellor & psychotherapist, I set up The Queer Couch to provide a truly safe space for clients, without fear of judgment. Gender and sexuality might not be the reason you are seeking therapy, but as an affirmative therapist, I can appreciate this part of your identity while we work through whatever it is that you are facing, together.

Hi, I’m Andy, a Psychotherapist and Coach working in Reading, Berkshire and Online.  I am trained in the modality of Transactional Analysis, and also specialise in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). I bring over fifteen years of experience from working in the Education and Technology sectors, as well as establishing my own Private Practice here in Reading, Berkshire.  I have a particular interest in working with men around faith, spirituality and sexuality, but this is a space that is open for all, and whatever you bring with you.  Come, and be heard.

Sometimes we might feel that things are just getting too much, or we want to look at something specific which is bothering us. Since the corona crisis we needed to adapt to a new “normal”. Feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, anxious, worn out, depressed and stressed are just some of the many ways we might react to what is happening around us and within us. Looking for help is not a sign of defeat, not now and not ever.

  I am Jen, a person-centred therapist working in person and online with clients who are LGBTQIA+ and GSRD. I am a proud member of this community and identify as trans non-binary and queer. My heart is with working with queer clients, and my experience of being othered allows me to relate to and empathise with a range of experiences in the LGBTQIA+ community.

I am a queer cis gendered therapist with over 10 years of experience supporting LGBTQIA+ clients. In the increasingly unsafe world I can offer a safe space to process your experiences and together we can explore ways of being and becoming who you are and how you want to be in the world. I offer in person, online and walk and talk sessions.

Hey, I’m Ember (she/they) and I’m a Person-Centred psychotherapist. The essence of my approach is to work with you in a warm, supportive, non-judgmental relationship. It’s in this kind of relationship that you can reconnect with yourself, find your voice and develop a clearer understanding of any changes you need to make.

Queer, worldly & wise, in private practice in London Bridge and a visiting lecturer & supervisor at University of Westminster, I have extensive experience with LGBTQ+ individual, couple or poly clients in GSRD (Gender, Sex & Relationship Diversity) Therapy rooted in evidence-based Relational & EFT Emotionally Focussed Couples Therapy to repair negative attachment patterns by challenging core beliefs and defences so clients effectively manage anxiety, self-doubt, shame and relationship difficulties with increased confidence, authenticity and openness.
