Gordon McIntosh

My name is Gordon McIntosh, and I’m a psychodynamic therapist with many years’ experience working with a wide range of emotional and psychological concerns. My practice is grounded in depth work — exploring not only what’s happening now but also the experiences and patterns that shape how we live, desire, play and connect.

I offer a reflective, relational space where you can bring the full spectrum of who you are — sexuality, identity, contradictions, desires, histories and all — without judgement. My approach is warm, direct and thoughtful. I pay close attention to both emotional and embodied experience, recognising that sex, intimacy and identity are often intertwined in complex ways.

I work with adults of all ages, both online and in person. I have particular experience with issues around identity, sexuality, gender, neurodivergence, relationships, and social class. I also work with people exploring queer desire, fetish, kink, polyamory, non-monogamy, alternative intimacies and sexual expression in all its variety.

Therapy with me isn’t about fixing who you are or making you fit a mould — it’s about creating space to know yourself more fully, make sense of what matters to you, and inhabit your own life and desires more freely.
