If you’re looking for a supportive space to slow down, reconnect, and explore the things that may feel difficult to put into words, art therapy can offer you a gentle path forward. Through creative expression, you can allow your inner experiences to be communicated and explored, especially in moments when spoken language feels limiting or restrictive.

Hi, I’m Natasha, and I help overwhelmed, anxious, and self-critical kids (ages 4+) and teens feel more confident, calm, and emotionally in control. Many of the kids I work with are sensitive, caring, and trying hard—but inside, they’re battling big feelings like anxiety, low self-esteem, or sadness they don’t always understand or know how to express.
Whether your child is people-pleasing to avoid conflict, melting down from small frustrations, or doubting their worth daily—I’m here to help.

Do you find that stress, anxiety, or depression makes it hard to get through the day, even when you’re doing your best to keep up?

I came to the field of mental health through writing. As a freelance writer and editor, I helped my clients to find their voices, tell their stories, make connections, understand their goals, and discover the deeper meanings behind surface events.
I aim to do the same thing as a therapist.
I have found that the skills I honed as a writer and editor — focused listening, interviewing, insight, the ability to create a meaningful story from seemingly disparate events — are just as relevant in the therapy space. I look forward to helping you tell your story with greater clarity, compassion, and capacity for joy.

I am queer, neurodivergent, and trauma-informed and part of my role is working within these communities.
Suffering is an inherent part of the human experience. However, we often feel that we are alone in our suffering, that no one can relate to our experiences, or that we don’t deserve to find peace in our lives. This can create feelings of frustration and despair, and we begin to feel stuck, unable to connect with others. Fear of judgement, along with our vulnerabilities can keep us from reaching out when we need it the most. I am confident that every person holds an innate understanding of what they need to heal and grow. Grounded in compassion, humility, and curiosity, my aim is to co-create a safe, open space for self-exploration.

I specialise in working with men who are looking to better understand how their psychology works. Clients of mine often have behaviours, thoughts, feelings, or emotions that are dysfunctional or cause them discomfort, such as feeling anxious, depressed, frustrated, reactive, or scattered. Many of my clients have difficulty with behaviours they feel they have no control over, such as compulsions or addictions, aversions, or getting easily frustrated or angry. I help my clients understand why these issues occur and help them create tools and protocols so that they can create the changes they want in their lives.

Hello, I’m Hannah! I specialize in supporting folks to reclaim their lives from trauma, explore sexual and gender identity, and (re)build relationships with their bodies and nervous systems.
I believe our lives are shaped by the stories we and others tell us about who we are, as well as the stories our bodies hold. When we decide to come to therapy, it’s often because stories about problems (and about how WE are a problem) are dominating our lives. Together, we can examine the history and effects of these stories, your relationship to them, and the skills you might draw on to create change.

Accepting New Clients. Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or feeling overwhelmed? Sometimes it can all feel like too much, and it's difficult to see the way forward.

My training and lived experience allows me to support a diverse set of clients, including immigrants, queer folks, and those navigating relational and intergenerational trauma.
Are you experiencing feelings of inadequacy, anxiety, grief and other overwhelming emotions? Are you navigating the lasting effects of trauma and its impact your identity and relationships? Often our symptoms are part of survival mechanisms that helped us in the past. Unfortunately, they can lead to unwanted behaviours in our present lives that can cause us shame and self-loathing. What you really deserve is compassion and care towards your pain. It takes a great deal of courage to embark on a path of healing and growth, and I consider it a privilege to work along side you throughout your journey.

Do LGBTQ-affirmative therapists receive special training?
Yes. Many therapists who practice LGBTQ-affirmative therapy have completed specialised training, either during their degree programme or as continuing education, to learn the core principles of affirmative therapy and how to best support their LGBTQ clients; some have received certifications in LGBTQ-affirmative therapy. Prospective clients should inquire as to a clinician’s background and training to ensure a good fit.
Why might I want to see an LGBTQ-affirming or LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
Queer and gender-non-conforming individuals frequently experience bias and marginalisation in day-to-day life. Working with a therapist who understands these unique challenges, as well as accepts and affirms their identity, can help LGBTQ clients feel safe and supported during therapy—allowing them to better navigate their relationships, mental health, and anything else that they wish to explore during therapy. It is important to note that many therapists can be effective in their work with LGBTQ+ individuals, even in the absence of specific training or background knowledge. The most important component in therapy is the alliance between therapist and client, and this alliance can exist between individuals with very different backgrounds.
How can I find an LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
You may wish to inquire about a therapist’s expertise with your specific challenges or concerns—depression, for example, or relationship strife—as well as their past experiences treating LGBTQ+ clients. Prospective clients may also ask whether a therapist has obtained additional training and/or certification in LGBTQ-affirmative techniques.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience with LGBTQ issues?
Prospective clients should feel empowered to directly ask therapists whether they have received training or been certified in LGBTQ-affirming therapy; competent therapists will be happy to explain their educational background and preferred approach(es) to help a client find the best match for them. Clients may also wish to ask how a therapist has treated clients with their particular challenges in the past and what they expect treatment to look like.
Are all the therapists listed in the LGBTQ directory themselves members of the LGBTQ community?
While therapists may choose to disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity in their profiles, the LGBTQ directory features not only those who have shared this information but also those who assert specialised training or experience in providing support to queer individuals, couples or families.
