Let’s talk about what’s really going on: what matters to you, and take the next step together. I offer after hours and weekend appointments.

I'm Dom Caesar (they/them), an autistic and queer social worker. I work with people aged 16 and up, and especially welcome those who identify as neurodivergent, queer, or trans - or who have felt misunderstood or unsupported in more traditional therapy settings.
Some themes and issues I love exploring with people include burnout, emotional exhaustion, and the toll of masking; identity (including neurodivergence, gender, sexuality, etc) and how these intersect; learning to communicate your needs and to advocate; navigating systems (workplaces, schools, families and everything in between!); and whatever feels most meaningful to you.

I can support you with your anxiety, building self-esteem, mindfulness, grounding and healing. I use trauma-informed and person centred approaches. Art Therapy and psychotherapy are great tools to express what's going on for you, understand and make sense of your experiences, manage stress and focus on your wellbeing. Art therapy can provide time to relax and unwind, find joy and be playful, build confidence and self-worth, release emotions, help improve mood, and can be a tool to help navigate challenges, and as a manifestation tool for getting clarity on your desires. Art therapy is a mixture of talk therapy and creative making.

I work with mums of babies or young children who are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, or overwhelm. They just want to be good parents, and worry they are failing. They are emotionally tuned to their children’s needs but want to do even better. Often, they feel guilty that they don’t enjoy parenting all the time, or that they lose their temper with their little ones.
I also support neurodivergent women who may be finding the transition to motherhood and adjustment to the postpartum period particularly overwhelming or challenging.

There are many great therapy options available, here’s a few reasons why you might like to work with me. My approach is grounded in Gestalt psychotherapy, which differs from many conventional forms of therapy. I do not focus on analysing problems or managing symptoms, rather I work to uncover and address the deeper issues that may be contributing to your difficulties, leading to natural, meaningful and lasting change. Another important difference is accessibility. I intentionally keep my overheads low so that I can offer high-quality psychotherapy at a more affordable rate.

People come to therapy for a range of reasons. There might be recurrent problems in relationships or work, there might be disturbing feelings within, or behaviours that are defeating or destructive. Many people find that their usual ways of coping don’t seem to work for them anymore. Whatever the issue, undertaking psychotherapy is an opportunity for you to really understand the underlying drivers of the problem, in the context of your unique life history, and to find a way to transform your suffering. New possibilities for living with greater freedom and creativity might then appear.

The people who work with me are often independent thinkers, they're bright and creative. They might also feel isolated, stuck, that there's something missing, or that they haven't yet been heard in a way that allows them to feel a bit freer to really enjoy their lives. Many would say that they feel like outsiders. The people I work with have often had seriously difficult histories. Sometimes they support someone else who suffers. I value working with others of all ages from my LGBTQ+ and GBKS (diversity in gender, body, kinship & sexuality) communities.

I provide neuro-affirming counselling for adults with ADHD, with a particular interest in supporting women and LGBTIQA+ clients, including those diagnosed later in life.

Women's Issues Therapists
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realised.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
