Hello,
You’ve made it here! Welcome, and thank you for taking the time. I genuinely appreciate being considered for this important role in your life.
You might be here because of a few different reasons:
You’re in the LGBTQ+ community and wanted a therapist within the same community
Relationships feel difficult or unclear
Alternatively, relationships are good, but you want something more or different
You might be struggling with sex, intimacy or desire
Something traumatic has happened, or has been triggered
You’re wondering about identity or direction in life
You’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected
Life hasn’t quite turned out the way you were hoping or expecting
You really want to change how you feel, think, or do things in life
Someone’s told you to look into therapy
Something else I haven’t listed
Even though I work with people from all backgrounds, it’s always important for me to say that I am a queer-identifying and queer-affirming integrative therapist with extensive experience in a variety of settings. I am interested in the influence of social and cultural dynamics in our lives and my main intention is to facilitate people in building better connections to their identities, desires, relationships, and life journeys.
How I Can Help
Specialised Therapy: Sex & Relationships
Anything related to sex and relationships can come under this specialisation. My particular experience focuses on:
Couples & relationships therapy - communication, desire discrepancies, consensual non-monogamies, dating and seeking new relationships, managing conflict
Sex therapy - low libido, unreliable erections, concerns about porn use, recovering and processing trauma, healing from sexual shame, sexual health difficulties and diagnoses, living with HIV, sexual and gender identities
Contemporary Integrative Therapy
This is for therapy which feels more generalised about life, particularly contemporary life, which let’s face it, it’s more and more complex and uncertain.
As a therapist, the years since the pandemic have felt like a whirlwind of continuous and incessant change, uncertainty, overwhelm, and existentialism. So much of what used to be clear standards and norms around the meaning and purpose of life have been impacted and shattered by global dynamics in the last few years alone, through the prevalence of social media and screen time, climate change, wars, genocides, economic turmoil.
Using different theoretical and practical approaches, this service aims to support surviving and thriving in an unstable world; navigating living losses and collective grief; life transitions and changes; shifts in world view and unlearning old narratives; mid-life shifts in identity and purpose.
Affirming Families
A consultation service for parents/carers/families of LGBTQIA+ children and young people designed to support adults in affirming, accepting, and supporting the journey of their children and young people. It includes resources, education, and practical tools.
360º Life Coaching
A coaching consultation designed to assess different areas of life and create specific and practical goals. This session is an opportunity to slow down and spend some time reflecting on different areas of life and setting some personal commitments for change.
