There’s a first time for everything. Most newcomers to therapy start out feeling intimidated or downright put off by approaches which fail to understand the position and needs of those of us whose experience falls outside what it is to be white, cis, heterosexual, able-bodied and or neurotypical.  as rather mysterious process. I aim to not only demystify what I do, but also to place at the front and centre of my work a commitment to delivering it in a way which takes account of that difference; to celebrate and nurture it as integral to a rich and full life.

My approach is friendly and confidential and I have over 15 years experience with LGBTQ+ adults around; anxiety, stress, poor self-image, low mood, navigating sex, low self-esteem, loss of motivation, self-doubt and finding purpose. If you are looking to better understand your self and your relationships, would like to feel more secure in yourself or would like support around how best to deal with changes or stressful situations and conflict drop me a line to arrange a free call.

I believe that a warm, genuine and non-judgmental relationship is the most important element of any therapy and at the very heart of the way I approach working with my clients and this can be especially important for those who may have faced rejection, misunderstanding, hostility or isolation in other parts of their lives.  What you bring to therapy may not relate directly to your gender or sexuality, but being able to talk in a space where you are understood and accepted for who you are, makes it easier to explore the issues that matter to you.

I am a qualified therapist dedicated to providing affirming and inclusive therapy for the LGBTQ+ community. I believe that everybody deserves to be listened to without fear or judgment. Here, you can read more about my experience, and how I can support you. If you would like to find out more, get in touch, and we can arrange a time to chat. I look forward to hearing from you.

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.
