I offer clients a fixed weekly slot. My working hours fall within Monday afternoon/evening, Thursday afternoon/evening, and Friday morning/afternoon. I currently have varied availability for new clients.

Are you questioning, exploring, or coming to terms with your gender identity or sexuality? Perhaps you feel unsure where you fit, worried about how others may respond, or tired of having to hide parts of yourself.

You may be navigating questions around coming out, transitioning, relationships, faith, family expectations, shame, anxiety, or feeling different from the people around you. Even when life looks fine on the outside, it can feel lonely carrying these questions by yourself.

Maybe you are trying to understand what feels true for you, while also managing other people’s opinions, labels, assumptions, or silence. You might long to feel more at home in yourself, but feel unsure how to get there.

I offer a warm, inclusive, affirming and relaxed space where you can feel safe, accepted and understood — without needing to explain, justify or minimise who you are.

Therapy can offer an independent space, separate from the rest of your life, where you can speak openly about gender, sexuality, identity, relationships and belonging. Together, we can explore what has shaped your sense of self, what feels difficult right now, and what may help you move towards greater clarity, confidence and self-acceptance.

If the path ahead feels foggy, we can gently make sense of your experiences at your pace. This might include looking at family messages, past relationships, early experiences, or moments where you learned it was safer to hide or adapt. I’ll support you in building a stronger, kinder connection with yourself.

As an Integrative Psychotherapist, I draw upon a range of different modalities, enabling me to tailor therapy to you. My relational approach can help you understand how significant relationships, past and present, have impacted your identity, self-worth and ability to feel safe with others. Integration is about bringing together different parts of yourself into a more cohesive whole, so you can stand more confidently in who you are.

What happens next?

Reaching out for support can feel like a big step, especially if you are unsure how much to share or whether you will be understood. To help you decide whether I am the right therapist for you, I offer a free consultation: an informal 20-minute phone call where you can tell me a little about what brings you to therapy and ask any questions about how I work.

If you feel comfortable, we can arrange a first session, discuss the therapy agreement, and begin by thinking together about your hopes and goals. I offer short, medium or long-term therapy depending on your needs, and we can review this together as the work develops.

Please get in touch by email or phone if you would like to organise a consultation. You are welcome to call or text, and you do not need to have everything worked out before reaching out.
