For many years, I didn’t believe in therapy. I thought friends and family could support us through difficulties and didn’t see the need for professional therapists.   But my views changed when a close friend went through a very painful period in their life and had counselling. I saw how therapy transformed them and began to think differently about it. I realised that, while the support of loved ones may be sufficient for some, for many it is invaluable to talk to someone objective, who is professionally trained to help.

I work in Private Practice from Farringdon and New Cross Gate. 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 managed METRO charity’s LGBTQIA+ Counselling service for 11-25 year olds, as well as being responsible for covering the adult service. 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.

Hi, I am a psychodynamic counsellor with a background in psychology. I help people with anxiety, depression, abuse, trauma and lgbtqia+ specific issues. Working with me will allow you to understand the impact of the past on your current situation and find creative ways for moving forward. I have experience working with clients with trauma through my experience at Wellbeing Scotland. I have also worked with a diverse range of clients within the LGBTQIA+ community.

Perhaps you feel stuck, find yourself in the middle of a crisis, or you want a space in which to examine and reflect on your own story and what has brought you to the point you’re at now. Perhaps you want to see if there is another way of telling your story. My intention is to grow a unique and collaborative relationship with you. We may work on your present situation as well as the whole of your history. Putting it as simply as I can: I provide a confidential space in which you’ll be able to talk openly.

Hello, I’m Kitt. I’m a queer transpersonal therapist (BACP Registered). I’ve worked with GSRD clients for over 4 years, working in a hybrid manner, offering in-person sessions in my Margate and London practice rooms, as well as online. I have extensive experience working in professional environments (tech/fintech/edtech) and have an MBA from London Business School, giving me life experience in navigating queer identities in professional environments.    

Hello, my name is Tom and I offer Person-centred counselling online for the LGBTQ+ community.    If you are interested in change then I’d welcome you to book in for a free 20 minute call. We can discuss where you’d like your life to be heading, what’s getting in your way and how to navigate through.

My personal approach is integrative, which means that I draw from a number of counselling models and techniques, including psychodynamic, existential and humanistic. My therapeutic stance is adaptable to your individual needs and I offer both short and longer term work. I am an experienced and qualified BACP registered counsellor and psychotherapist. I am working in accordance with the BACP Ethical Framework. I have a Psychology (BA) degree and have undertaken comprehensive training and gained my diploma (PgDip) and Masters (MA) in Counselling and Psychotherapy from Regent’s University London.

I offer a more directive, therapeutic approach that allows you to greater understand yourself, as well as question and appreciate your triggers and their origins.  I have found that taking this approach allows individuals to make progress much quicker, as well as develop a deeper understanding of self.

Considering accessing therapy? I offer a safe and understanding space to talk about what’s going on for you, whether that’s focused on your sexuality and gender or something else.   Therapy can support you to understand yourself better, to explore new perspectives and practise compassion for yourself and others.   I’m a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with an MA in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I work face to face in central Bristol and offer sessions on a weekly basis.
