I am an experienced mindfulness-based psychotherapist practising in Central London . I offer a safe and non-judging space where we can explore what feels difficult or stuck, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges and life transitions. I work short-term and open-ended, and have volunteered with  LGBT+ and gay men’s health charities, welcoming clients from LGBTQIA+ and GSRD communities.

Hey, I’m Genevieve (they/them), I’m a sex and relationship therapist with over 5 years experience in empowering people through sex education as @squirtingisntpee  I work with a wide range of issues including understanding your gender, sexuality and identities (inc. LGBTQIA+), finding the right relationship style for you (non-monogamy, monogamy, polyamory etc), negotiating safer BDSM and kink practices, exploring consent, issues with sexual functioning (genital pain, erection issues, inability to orgasm etc), navigating relationship conflicts and improving sexual intimacy.

My counselling journey started a decade ago, not as a qualified counsellor, but as a client. By offering a judgment free space and the opportunity to be vulnerable, my therapist supported me on my journey of self-acceptance. It is on that connection between counsellor and client that I base my work. In my humanistic approach to therapy I believe that my clients are the experts of themselves.

I am LGBTQ+ affirmative and take an active political stance against prejudice and discrimination in my therapeutic approach. I have over 20 years experience of working with LGBTQ+ communities within mental health and higher education settings.
