Josiah Twiselton - Off Beat Therapy

I work with a variety of issues ranging from anxiety, depression, feeling sad or worried, family/relationship issues, trauma, abuse, identity, stress, loneliness, discrimination and oppression.

If you're someone who worries that parts of your identity - such as your race, religion, sexuality, gender identity, neurodivergence or disability - will be an elephant in the room, or all a counsellor can focus on, I hope to provide an alternative experience where you can feel comfortable discussing these matters in depth. I aim to create a space where every aspect of you is visible, welcome and talked about, but also acknowledges that these aspects of your identity aren't the only important things about you.

The work I do around identity includes, but also goes beyond, topics such as questioning gender identity or sexuality, coming out, transition, navigating diagnosis, experience of discrimination etc. I also support with issues such as dating, parenting, working, ageing and simply living with the impacts of oppression; managing in today's increasingly hostile climate; activism burnout; changing sensory profiles; the intersection of all identities such as race, religion, culture, gender, sexuality, disability, age etc; and all those times in life where all identities weave in and out of life's issues.

My main room is unfortunately not wheelchair accessible, but I can provide other premises so please get in touch to discuss any accessibility requirements.
