clients.
Many of us face times in our lives when we need support to get through difficult periods. I see psychotherapy as a safe space to explore yourself, gain self-insight and understanding, and develop tools and resources to face the ups and downs of life. Since 2011, I have had the chance to work with adults with various needs and challenges. I have supported clients to work through relationship difficulties, repetitive patterns that were no longer serving them, anxiety, depression, painful emotions related to present or past events (including traumas), self-esteem issues, grief and loss, and adjustment to chronic illness.

Your past does not have to define your future. You are not doomed to continually repeat the same mistakes. There is a way to manage your stress, racing thoughts, and overwhelming emotions. You have another story waiting to be lived. There is help, there is hope and there is healing. With my help, training and approach to healing, you can heal and grow beyond what you think is possible. I know this because I have healed from my own trauma story. It is possible to experience joy.
Kumasi Jay Gwynne

transgender

We all neglect ourselves sometimes. Therapy exists so we can create a space to focus on you and your needs. You may want to work on your relationships or talk about your loneliness. You may be having a hard time at work or at home. Focusing on your needs is not selfish, despite the messaging we receive. Your life and its value absolutely matter.

Holding it Together
Registered Psychotherapist, MEd, RP
Verified
I work exclusively with autistic and queer & trans neurodivergent people. As an autistic, trans & queer therapist, I don't ‘treat’ autism or gender divergence. I treat the trauma caused by neurodisablism & sanism, cissexism & heterosexism. Instead helping you ‘adapt’ or ‘hide’ your ‘differences’ to “fit in” to neurotypical culture, I support you to diverge, to find your other way, and find your way to others. Together we can turn the tables on disablement & pathologization from the inside out and the outside in.

Do you want to try something different which will challenge you and direct your awareness to how you are living your life? Awareness is the first step in making any change. Awareness gives you a choice: do I keep doing what I have been doing or do I want to "try on" a new behaviour and see what changes? Together we will work through issues which are interfering with your ability to live your life fully in the here and now.

I'm a white, disabled, neurodivergent, queer and trans person who has experienced many beginnings, endings, and life transitions.

If you've felt out of place or untethered, we can work together to help you choose your way.
