Hello, I’m an experienced integrative counsellor, working in charities and services in London and Brighton over the past eight years.  I’m passionate about supporting LGBTQIA+ people, identify as gay and practice affirmatively.Establishing trust and a felt sense of safety in the therapy relationship is the foundation for the way that I work – through a compassionate, calming presence and experience of being attentively and warmly seen, heard and valued, I hope to provide a space where you can bring what you need, to help explore and find a way through your current difficulties and challenges. Please get in touch.

Hello, and welcome to my practice. Everyone faces moments of uncertainty, anxiety, and challenge. Whatever you’re going through, you don’t have to navigate it alone. My identity as a Black gay man deeply informs my work as a therapist. I bring not only professional training but also personal insight into the challenges of navigating spaces that may not always affirm your full self. I understand the emotional weight of seeking belonging and the courage it takes to move toward self-acceptance. This lived experience allows me to hold a compassionate, affirming space for others on their own journeys. I am here

     

I am an accredited Cognitive Analytic Therapist (CAT) and Mental Health Nurse. I draw upon all of my experience of working with a variety of people since 2006 in order to offer a compassionate space for personal growth and reflection. As a gay man myself, I also have an appreciation of some of the joys and challenges that come along with this.

Welcome, to my profile, and thank you for considering me as your therapist. I’m Darren an Integrative therapist based in Birmingham offering online appointments in Birmingham or anywhere else in the UK.  I can work with a range of issues, that may be bringing you to therapy. A core tenant to my approach is to offer you  a grounded, compassionate and relational space for reflection and growth. I really appreciate how daunting it is to take the first step into therapy, and please do get in touch for us to discuss your specific needs further. 

At the heart of my counselling and psychotherapy practice is a commitment to holding a supportive and transformative space which helps you go beyond simply coping, towards thriving and liberation. I offer a collaborative and mutual approach which meets you where you are, and centers your empowerment, needs, and desires instead of imposing expertise or pathology. I believe therapy can serve as a profoundly powerful space where we can explore, unravel, and change our relationship to what keeps us ‘stuck’, so that we might move into more free ways of living. To this end, I draw on an integrative blend

No current spaces open but please get in touch if you would like to be on a wait list for the new year. I have been working as a BACP accredited therapist for nearly 2 decades and have extensive training and experience with GSRD: couples, poly (enm) and individuals, utilising integrative, person centred, psychodynamic psychotherapy / counselling. My training was initially undertaken at the Tavistock in Swiss Cottage, London. I work in private practice and have had many years of experience within a busy NHS setting. My specialist areas are in cultural, gender, relationship, and sexual diversities. I have training

Welcome. Life can feel heavy or confusing, especially when you are carrying more than others realise. If you feel lost or stuck, therapy can offer space to slow down and reconnect with your true self. Reaching out takes courage, and even searching for the right therapist is already an act of self-care. I am proudly queer, and as a BACP registered and highly trained therapist I offer in person or online sessions, whatever works best for you. This is a confidential and fully accepting space to feel understood and move towards something lighter.

My name is Ash and I’m a qualified psychodynamic counsellor based in Manchester. My practice addresses a range of issues, often revealing complex connections between behavior, relationships, values, desires, and early life experiences. Such work may allow you to explore how elements of your own life intertwine and influence one another. I specialise in LGBTQ+ counselling, drawing on affirmative practices. You may wish to begin counselling as a way to get closer to an underlying reason or source of your struggle, and in doing so, safely process in order to heal. I offer in-person and online sessions.
