About me and my therapy practice

Do you feel frightened that your world might fall apart if you look at your sexuality or gender? Sensing that there’s something more, but not knowing what that is; not sure whether the world of LGBTQ might be for you. Do you want to feel more at ease with yourself? Then email me to have a short initial chat about working together.

Maybe you have thoughts going round and round in your head and feel like you’ve lost track of perspective. You may feel like there’s no-one you can talk to, which can be isolating. You may believe that what’s inside you is too shocking, or wrong or too much for the people around you.

Here’s just some of the situations I have helped people with: I’m attracted to the ‘wrong’ person – wrong gender or not available or inappropriate. I feel repulsed or scared at the idea of sex, and haven’t had a ‘proper relationship’ – what’s wrong with me? I fear that if I really looked at what is going on in my relationship I might leave, and that seems overwhelming. The relationship/sex that I want isn’t acceptable in my culture, I don’t want to betray my family and I don’t know who I can talk to. I think that the gender that everyone else sees me as, isn’t what’s inside me, but I don’t know what that means for me – am I trans or non-binary? - do I have to have a label for it?

Imagine feeling less anxious and able to live your life peacefully. To know that you’re normal and that these feelings are not something to be scared of. You can feel better about yourself, have better relationships and become more confident in the decisions you make.  

Practice description

Whilst I have over 40 years’ life experience of being a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I also work with heterosexual people. I have over 20 years working in different capacities with individuals and families in distress. As time has gone by I have become even more open-minded about the many different ways we all have of living and loving.

Together, we explore more about who you are - your values, your feelings, your responses, your thoughts. We go at your own pace, no need to rush, and look at some of the unthinkable about what’s going on inside you. So that you can be more you, whoever you are.

My qualifications:

• Diploma in Gestalt Counselling - Gestalt Centre

• Certificate in Counselling - Gestalt centre

• Certificate in Psychosexual Health - Centre for Psychosexual Health

• Level 7 Certificate in Executive Counselling - Institute of Leadership and Management

• Many short courses on gender, sex and sexuality

My first session

I work exclusively online or by phone, in 50 minute sessions at the same time and day each week. My fees are £70 and are payable 48 hours in advance.
