About the Therapist

About the therapist:

My name is Charlie (they/them). As a neurodivergent trans practitioner I have a particular interest in working with neurodivergent and LGBTQ+/queer clients. I bring my personal and professional experience to provide collaborative, affirming support that helps you get whatever you're looking for in therapy. Sometimes this involves exploring past experiences while other times this may involve more of a focus on the here and now. I have particular experience supporting clients with themes including identity exploration, coming out, relationship challenges, trauma, anxiety, and depression.

I work with adults and young people (12+).

Queer

Gender identity: Non-binary

Experience and approach:

I am trained in both person-centred and psychodynamic approaches to therapy. I work collaboratively with my clients rather than seeing myself as the expert whose role it is to tell you how to solve your problems - I believe you are best place to find these answers and I see my role as helping you do this.

I have more than five years of experience as a counsellor and psychotherapist in a variety of settings, including private practice, an LGBTQ+ focussed charity, and a high school.

I have a Doctorate in Psychotherapy and a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling, both from the University of Edinburgh.
