Do you feel frightened that your world might fall apart if you look at your sexuality or gender? Maybe you have thoughts going round and round in your head, and feel like you’ve lost track of perspective. Maybe you: don't like sex/like sex 'too much' /wrong kind of sex? Your gender doesn't fit with other people's idea of you. You may feel you are betraying your family, children or culture by expressing yourself. You may believe that what’s inside you is too shocking, or wrong or too much for the people around you. You may feel like there’s no-one you can talk to, which can be very isolating .
Imagine feeling less anxious and able to live your life peacefully. To know that you’re normal and that these feelings are not something to be scared of. That there is someone you can talk to. I have over 40 years’ life experience of being a member of the LGBTQ+ community, as well as working with heterosexual people; and I've been a counsellor for 8 years
As time has gone by I have become even more open-minded about the many different ways we have of living and loving. I have undertaken additional training in gender, sexuality and sex, because acceptance matters to me. If what I’ve written interests you, then email me to arrange an initial free 20 minute call to see how we might work together.

Many of the people I work with are exploring being LGBTQ, often around trans or bi identity which can include talking about sex. Many of my clients are parents and many are neurodivergent. Together we explore more about who you are, by noticing your thoughts, emotions, and body. This helps you to be more yourself so you can become more you and more comfortable of yourself in the world.

Through talking together, I encourage us both to listen to all of you - your body, thoughts and emotions - especially the parts of you that have been overlooked. We explore at your pace, being curious and kind about what we find. I trained originally as a Gestalt counsellor, and now am undertaking deeper training as an integrative transpersonal psychotherapist.
