Caring & non-judgemental counselling for LGBTQIA+ folk. You may have been feeling bad about yourself and have noticed that you have been acting in inauthentic ways. Perhaps you are worried others won’t accept the real you. It’s been difficult to share your self-critical thoughts with others. I help LGBTQIA+ folk with a non-Judgmental and caring space to explore and better understand and process their distress.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, irritable, reactive, disconnected and overstimulated? You may notice there is often a sense of urgency and you have difficulty relaxing. Your nervous system might feel dysregulated and you don’t feel good in your skin. Does living the life you want and being authentic feel impossible.  Do relationship’s feel difficult? You might put everyone else before yourself. Being authentic is complicated, it can feel like being true to yourself can impact relationships. Asking for your needs to be met often doesn’t happen. You don't often feel seen in relationships.
