Hello! I am based online and in South and East London – I provide LGBTQ+ therapy and counselling for those who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, non-binary, queer, questioning, polyamorous, kink, ace etc. I offer short or long term individual therapy for adults and my work is queer positive, sex affirming, collaborative and fluid. I work primarily with individuals within the LGBTQ+ community, however, this is not exclusively. My approach to therapeutic work is within an open and non judgemental mindset.

I am BACP Accredited Psychodynamic Psychotherapeutic Counsellor (PgDip), Accredited Specialist Sexual Violence Therapist, and Certified Relationship Therapist (COSRT Level 5), working online, via Zoom, with individuals and couples throughout the UK. I integrate Jungian, mindfulness, body-psychotherapy and somatic trauma approaches into my clinical work, drawing from more than eight years of therapeutic experience in private practice, community and specialist mental health settings. I am sensitive to the interplay between wider societal context with mental and emotional wellbeing, and my practice is affirming of individuals and relationships across the spectrum of gender, sexuality and relationship diversity.

My name is Sam (he/him) and I am a HCPC registered, senior clinical psychologist working in Islington, North London. I have worked across a wide range of settings including private-practice, university, and public-health.I am trained in several evidenced-based interventions, including CBT, ACT, and DBT. I have extensive experience working with the LGBTQIA+ community providing specialised psychotherapy, assessments, education, and supervision. I take an affirmative and intersectional approach that weaves in different therapy strategies to help my clients meet their goals.

I am an integrative individual and relationship psychotherapist (MA, MBACP) offering counselling and psychotherapy for individuals and couples experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, intimacy issues, life transitions, and relational trauma. Many clients come to me after having tried counselling before and finding that insight or self-awareness alone did not lead to lasting change. You may understand why you feel anxious, stuck, or triggered, yet still find yourself repeating the same relationship patterns or reacting in ways you wish you could control. You might also feel lost, confused, unmotivated, or lacking clarity and direction – unsure of your next step.

Are you tired of feeling stuck and misunderstood, like you don’t fit, and exhausted by the effort of trying to? Do you feel like your difference – not being like the others – gets in the way of living well, and being authentically you?   Amazing things can unfold when we truly feel seen, heard and accepted for who we are.

I’m Lou Futcher, a passionate, experienced LGBTQ+ counsellor offering a holistic approach to self-knowledge, healing, and self development for gay, bi, and queer men, plus trans women and nonbinary folk. I have been working with LGBTQ+ people for 13 years offering judgement-free empathy and both therapeutic and life experience living as a queer person in a heteronormative society. My style is energetic and appropriately challenging, and always empathetic, accepting and encouraging. I work online and in-person in London, close to the City, Old Street, and Islington. Please contact me via my website rather than email.

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’m an integrative and largely person-centred counsellor, offering a warm, empathic relationship in which you can explore whatever you’re struggling with.   I’m queer, neuroatypical, creative and a bit geeky.

A few months ago, were you thinking about starting therapy? A few months from now, will you still be thinking about starting therapy? Or instead, will you already be well on the path towards feeling more solid and centred in your life?   Imagine what that could feel like.  I believe passionately in de-mystifying therapy and showing up as my fully human self with you. I bring my empathy, humour, enthusiasm and sweary vocabulary to the connection – because I am a human first, therapist second. I am both real and relatable.
