Welcome to my profile, I am a qualified and experienced integrative counsellor and psychotherapist, specialising in gender, sexuality and relationship diversity. I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients and consider every client to be a unique individual and the expert of their own life. I am wholeheartedly committed to supporting the LGBTQIA+ community and empowering GSRD clients to be their authentic selves through non-judgmental, affirming, empathetic and client led counselling and psychotherapy. I have several years experience working with adults, young people and children (aged 13+) in the charitable sector and private practice.   

Counselling/Psychotherapy can help us understand better how we behave, what motivates us, and how past experiences can affect current behaviour. By expressing whatever is uppermost in our mind, feelings, thoughts, wishes, fears, memories and dreams can be explored within the safety of the therapeutic relationship. The aim being to enable us to find more appropriate ways of coping with our difficulties and to bring about changes in our thinking, feeling and behaviour. Through exploration therapy hopes to enable us to live a more fulfilling life and reach our full potential in the face of life’s limitations.

My name is Gustavo and I am an integrative Psychotherapist in London working short and long term with individuals and couples in person and online. As a multi ethnic foreign living in the UK for several years I have personally experienced feelings of otherness, prejudice and the desire to belong. These experiences have enabled me to deepen my therapeutic skills working with clients from different countries, gender, cultures, different socio economic backgrounds, ethnic and religious groups.

I believe that in the right environment we remain whole, uninhibited and naturally driven towards the fulfilment of our desires and potential. Often other people’s agendas, anxiety and painful events in our lives can separate us from this forward motion and better judgement. This can manifest mentally, bodily, emotionally and even dynamically in our careers, habits and close relationships. Creating the right environment together; I work with clients to take an honest look at those emotions and dynamics, putting the unwanted ones back where they belong and ultimately helping my clients get back on track.

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.

My name’s Sal, and I’m a qualified integrative therapeutic counsellor. I’m also a queer person with a long history in the LGBTQI community. You may be seeking therapy to explore issues related to your sexuality, gender or relationships, but equally, you may just be looking for a therapist who understands and affirms these fundamental aspects of your life while you explore other themes.
