About the Therapist

About the therapist:

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. More recently I provided mental health support to people living with chronic health conditions. These experiences showed me the power of honest conversation to bring about real change - and motivated me to train as a therapist.

I was raised a fundamentalist Christian and came out as an adult after decades of questioning my sexuality. Because of that, I understand the shame and confusion that can come with reconciling faith and identity — and how damaging conversion practices can be.
