My name is Broes (pronounced Bruce) Van Renterghem and I offer psychotherapy and counselling in my practices in Shoreditch, Clapham and London Bridge, and online. Some of the key areas I can help with are anxiety, depression, gender identification, sexual orientation-related issues, addiction, shame, relationships, self-esteem, and more.  I have a special interest in working with LGBTQ+ members and the unique challenges and strengths that can come with these experiences. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community myself, I bring both professional expertise and lived understanding to the work.

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

I’ve spent more than a decade supporting people through traumatic and difficult times, including five years focused on LGBTQ+ mental health and wellbeing. For many years I managed a national LGBTQ+ listening service, specialising in supporting people affected by domestic abuse,  sexual abuse, suicidal feelings, and conversion therapy.
