I have extensive experience working with LQBTQIA+ individuals and couples as Head of Psychotherapy at London Lighthouse, Senior Clinical Supervisor at Terence Higgins Trust and Assessment Psychotherapist at Kairos in Soho. I have been working with a wide range of issues including Chemsex support, substance dependency, Kink/BDSM, polyamory, panic attacks and anxiety, bereavement, addictions, relationship difficulties, sexuality and depression for over 30 years. I have worked extensively as Head of Psychotherapy and Senior Clinical Consultant for national charitable foundations and the corporate sector. I am a Registered Practitioner with the General Psychotherapy Council (GPsyC), fully qualified UKCP registered psychotherapist and

I provide a supportive space where clients can address issues such as anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. My approach includes exploring attachment styles to better understand relational patterns. I also have an interest in psychosexual issues, drawing where relevant on my background in HIV research and prevention. Through a combination of insight and emotional support, I can help you identify stuck points and navigate difficult emotions. As you deepen your understanding of your inner world, I will support you in cultivating self-compassion and moving toward healing.

From navigating trauma and distress, to exploring identity and intimacy, my practice is rooted in flexibility, collaborative trust, and evidence-based care. I believe that therapy allows you to take a more active role in understanding and experiencing your emotions, thoughts and beliefs. When we are not aware of our patterns, it can mean we act out certain behaviours, or experience certain feelings, without knowing why. And while we might be able to tolerate this for some time – perhaps even for a long time – I believe there is a difference between simply surviving and truly living.

Life can be challenging; sometimes, we all need a space to discuss things. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, relationships, burnout, or significant life changes, therapy can help you find clarity and move forward. I’m a UKCP-accredited psychotherapist with an MSc from Metanoia Institute, and I offer a warm, supportive space to explore what’s on your mind. Sessions are available in London’s West End, Clapham, or online, starting at £80. We can have a free 15-minute chat to see if we’re a good fit. My website is www.deanpalmer.co.uk. 

Are you feeling anxious? Stressed? Stuck? Struggling with relationships? I can work with you collaboratively, creatively and non-judgementally to explore how things might be experienced in new ways. In therapy, I will invite you to focus on your immediate experience to increase your awareness of where you are at, here with me, and to widen your choices going forward. I will encourage you to share what you experience as patterns from the past and, rather than interpreting, I will work with you to make sense of how things are now. I strive towards an anti-oppressive practice, and sometimes make mistakes.

Hello, I’m Rachael. I’m an LGBTQ-identified Person-centred Psychotherapist (UKCP Registered) with twelve years’ experience of working with clients. I have extensively worked with LGBTQIA+ clients exploring their life experiences, sexuality and gender identities as well as working with clients who identify as asexual/ace. I have experience of working with clients who have wished to work with an LGBTQ-identified therapist to discuss life experiences not necessarily connected with their gender or sexuality.

I’m a trans woman and I trained as a therapeutic counsellor because our community deserves help they can trust. We’ve all experienced having to explain ourselves to non-LGBTQ+ people who just don’t ‘get it’. I believe everyone deserves a therapist who understands them without judgement.

I am a psychodynamic therapist based in London and Brighton. My practice is rooted in curiosity about how early experiences, culture and relationships shape the way you see yourself and others today. I have a particular interest in working with people who feel out of place, caught between cultures, or marginalised in their families, communities or wider society. Together, we can explore ways to greater self-understanding and more fulfilling connections with others.
