My website
Hi, I’m Jake (they/them). My work has been shaped by growing up punk, neurodiverse and queer. On top of this, my time in disability advocacy and human rights spaces has also influenced my views on power and bodily autonomy. Which means, I resist the idea that therapy should help people adapt to systems that harm them, and I try to slow the work down and keep relationship at the centre.
My practice recognises that therapy does not exist outside culture. It is influenced by histories of power and by colonial and capitalist ideas about productivity and normality. I believe we need to name that and recognise the impact of these structures on marginalised bodies, so our work together is honest and connected.
I know reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, especially when the world feels impossibly chaotic. But hey, you're looking into it! And that's the important first step. So, if you’re someone who is passionate about social justice and interested in working with someone who is like-minded, then send me an email.

Starting therapy can feel a bit weird, but the first session is really just a chat. We'll talk about what's brought you here, what you're hoping for, and how I work. Kind of like we're setting the stage. From there, we can begin to untangle what's going on and find ways to make life feel a bit less chaotic and more you.
