Your mental health matters just as much as your physical health. As both a counsellor and personal trainer, I support clients holistically - working with mind and body together. By exploring your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, you can begin to regain a sense of control. Alongside this, learning what your body needs, through nutrition, movement, sleep, and balance - can help you feel more grounded and reconnect with yourself.

Many of my clients are looking for meaning and a way through their current struggles, want strategies for expressing themselves and their needs in relationships, are rediscovering themselves after loss, separation or significant life changes, and live with minoritised identities such as neurodivergence, sex, gender and romantic identities.

Life consists of a lot. Sometimes we may feel an overriding sense that something doesn’t feel right, or as is used to. There may be something specific that has occurred, or a general sense of not being where you want to be. It can be difficult to know where to begin when navigating questions about life; how to feel ‘yourself’ again and how to begin to reconcile the difficulties and thought processes that have led to the moment that you are in. With so much to consider it is easy to feel overwhelmed and in need of some support. I offer a warm, therapeutic space to help you explore what the next steps could look like in your world.

LGBTQ+ Counsellors
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.
