Maithili Guise Tucker - London: MGT Therapy
About the Therapist
I have extensive experience supporting clients around navigating gender identity and sexuality, particularly where these intersect with race, culture and experiences of marginalisation. I work with people confronted by conflicting inner and outer worlds, questioning long-held identities, or exploring aspects of themselves that may not have felt possible or permitted earlier in life. This focus is reflected in my membership both here at Pink Therapy and at BAATN.
Alongside psychotherapy, I am also an artist and this shapes how I listen and work. My commissioned work captures lived experience and individuality, which translates into therapy as close attunement to what sits beneath words - experiences of difference, unspoken shame or parts of the self that have had to remain hidden or split off in an attempt to belong.
Before training as a therapist, I spent 20 years working in psychology within the corporate sector. During this time, I became deeply interested in men’s mental health and the stigma surrounding vulnerability, emotional expression and help-seeking, particularly within high-pressure and performance-driven environments. This work sharpened my understanding of how cultural expectations around gender, success and resilience shape emotional life—insights that continue to inform my therapeutic practice today.

I have established experience working with GSRD clients navigating sexuality and gender across different stages of life, including those who begin questioning or exploring their identities later on, often alongside established relationships, family roles or heteronormative life choices that no longer feel aligned. I also work closely with men and masculine-identifying clients around men’s mental health, identity, intimacy and the emotional impact of cultural expectations around masculinity.
A central strand of my work explores how gender identity and sexuality are shaped and complicated by race, culture, and experiences of marginalisation, and how these intersections affect emotional life. This perspective informs my clinical practice, academic writing and research, particularly in relation to anxiety, trauma, and abuse. As part of my commitment to widening access, I offer a limited number of low-cost sessions for clients impacted by these experiences.
In practice, I support clients experiencing complex trauma, anxiety and depression, abuse, self-harm, disordered eating, low self-esteem, and major life transitions. I work with particular sensitivity to how shame, identity, and belonging are influenced by gender, sexuality, race and experiences of marginalisation and shame.
My approach is collaborative and relational, shaped around your individual needs and at a pace that feels right. My style is warm, steady, and down-to-earth, offering a space where you can speak openly, feel understood, and gently make sense of whatever you’re facing.
Therapy with me is a space to make sense of your experiences, reconnect with yourself and others, and move towards a life that feels more authentic, grounded, and alive.
