My name is Pete Connor and I have worked as a counsellor, psychotherapist and supervisor for over 35 years in the not-for-profit and private sectors. I work as a generic psychotherapist with specialisms including working with individuals from LGBTQ+ communities and with GSRD issues; sexuality and sexual health; HIV, chronic and life-limiting conditions; life-stages and transitions; death, dying and bereavement.  I work as a UCKP Registered Psychotherapist and Senior BACP Accredited Counsellor and Supervisor from my home in Keynsham and online. Identifying as gay/queer, I offer an LGBTQ+ affirmative approach, integrating humanistic, psychosynthesis and Internal Family Systems frameworks.

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.

My name is Ash and I’m a qualified psychodynamic counsellor based in Manchester. My practice addresses a range of issues, often revealing complex connections between behavior, relationships, values, desires, and early life experiences. Such work may allow you to explore how elements of your own life intertwine and influence one another. I specialise in LGBTQ+ counselling, drawing on affirmative practices. You may wish to begin counselling as a way to get closer to an underlying reason or source of your struggle, and in doing so, safely process in order to heal. I offer in-person and online sessions.

Welcome I am Lisa, a cisgender woman living in Brighton & Hove, and a mother of two young adults.  Life often feels messy, painful and confusing.  By choosing to work with me, we can create a safe and warm space for exploring your  challenges, honouring the joy of being human, and examining some of your ways of relating to yourself and others that no longer feel adaptive.I see clients in-person at a central counselling practice in Hove or online.  I offer short-term (6-12 sessions typically), and open-ended counselling and typically see clients weekly.

Hi, I’m Sam. I’m a relational psychodynamic therapist based in East London. I bring a curiosity in understanding how past experience influences the person that you are today, and provide a warm, accepting and collaborative space where we can work together to make sense of the questions or issues that you might bring to therapy. I work in-person from my cosy and welcoming room in Bethnal Green as well as online. My work with queer and trans people is affirming and I am committed to an ethical, inclusive and politically-minded practice attentive to understanding your experience in context.

What would you like to talk about today? It’s a common enough starting point in counselling sessions, but it is rarely a question with an easy answer. I offer sessions at Brixton, London Bridge and via Google Meet, offering short-term and long-term counselling, and offer a free half-hour initial appointment.
