Transgender Counselling in Dereham
I am an Integrative Therapist and fully believe every individual has the ability to make changes for themselves...sometimes it takes for someone to walk with you on that journey to help you see, support and nurture what is already there but hidden from view. I pride myself on providing a confidential, safe, welcoming space for people to feel comfortable to explore any feelings and emotions which may be causing some discomfort in their every day life.

Life can sometimes be challenging and at times we all need support with our emotional well-being, and therapy can help you feel less anxious and more in control. I bring warmth and empathy along with a sense of humour providing a non-judgemental and confidential environment to be there for you.

Are you feeling anxious or struggling? This could be through a bereavement, or difficulties in a relationship. Perhaps health issues such as chronic illness, disability or menopause have affected how you are feeling. Maybe work is causing you stress, or you have been made redundant. Do you feel misunderstood or not heard? Maybe you don’t have somewhere you feel supported to be yourself and to speak freely. Perhaps you feel like you don't have anyone to talk to who understands. You may need a place to be heard and to explore your feelings.

Hello, my name is Danny and I am a Counsellor based in Norwich. Starting counselling can feel challenging, and you may not know what to expect from your counsellor, or what their expectations are of you. My style of working is relaxed and informal. I’ll bring my authenticity to the room, and that’s all I ask of you. Through my personal and clinical experience, i’ve seen people get lost trying too hard or finding where they belong. This can also be seen in unhelpful behaviours where you try to fit in. I have a lot of success with clients going back to basics of who you are as an individual and not how you are for others.

You may be a neurodivergent adult, part of a neurodivergent couple, or supporting a neurodivergent loved one, feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck despite having tried many approaches already. You might be struggling with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, relationship difficulties, work or health challenges, or feeling worn down by repeated misunderstandings. You want clarity, understanding, and support that recognises neurodivergence and works with your differences, rather than trying to change who you are.

People seek therapy for many different reasons. It can be to unblock creativity, or to explore the past. Some people come because they are experiencing difficult or unwanted feelings, such as anxiety or sadness. Some suffer from symptoms such as sleeplessness that are connected to their feelings. Whatever brings you to therapy, the psychoanalytic approaches I offer can deepen your understanding and foster change at your own pace. I do not charge for the initial session, which is a chance for us to get to know one another and see if we can work well together. Please visit my website.

I have supported adults and young people with a range of challenges including related to: anxiety & depression, self-harm & suicidal ideation, emotional, physical & sexual abuse, self-esteem, sexual & gender identity, neurodivergence, behaviour/ emotional regulation, relationship challenges (family, peer and romantic relationships) and school avoidance.
I’m Olivia, a Level 7 therapist working with adults and young people. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or uncertain, I aim to meet you as you are and work at a pace that feels safe for you, creating a space built on collaboration, trust and emotional safety.
My approach is integrative and highly individualised, focusing on you as a whole person- your experiences, strengths, challenges and the meaning you make of them- rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

I have extensive training and experience in working with LGBQ folk and those whose gender identity is not straightforward.
Currently taking on new clients. I work with individual adults in person from my home and online. I mostly do long-term work but also have significant experience of shorter, time limited work. My areas of specialism are working with trauma from a body focussed perspective, with people who identify as LGBTQ+ and those with ADHD and ASD. Many of my clients have experiences of feeling 'different' and who struggle to find their place in the world. There is always something new to learn for both therapist and client and whilst therapeutic work is not always easy, it can be incredibly rewarding and enlightening.

As a gender-diverse individual, why might I want to see a therapist who is also gender diverse?
A trans or gender-diverse client may want to see a therapist who is also trans or gender diverse because the client may feel safer sharing their experiences and more confident that the therapist will understand, validate, and support them. But trans or gender-diverse clients can also benefit from therapy with cisgender therapists; this is a personal decision based on the connection between the client and the therapist, and if that connection is strong, therapy will be successful.
What if I cannot find a therapist who shares my gender identity?
Therapy can still be effective if a therapist does not share a client’s gender identity; a large body of research indicates that the most important factor in successful therapy is the therapeutic alliance. A therapist can also be interviewed for sensitivity and competence on gender identity and expression to ensure they possess appropriate knowledge and skills. Many therapists have excellent training and extensive experience working with gender-diverse clients, and that expertise can be invaluable despite a therapist not sharing the same firsthand experiences.
How can I recognise a good therapist for working with gender-diverse clients?
An experienced therapist should be able to help clients explore their gender identity and expression, alleviate discomfort related to their gender identity, treat mental health challenges and trauma, address existing relationships and communication with family members and loved ones, and determine the next steps pertaining to nonmedical or medical gender-affirming interventions. To recognise a good therapist, clients can ask about these topics and explore their comfort and connection with the clinician.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with transgender clients?
Clients should feel comfortable asking therapists directly about their experience working with transgender or gender-diverse clientele. For example, clients may ask about the therapist’s training and education with regard to gender identity, how many trans clients they’ve worked with in the past, and what sorts of matters were discussed. You may wish to inquire how a therapist specifically supports the needs of transgender clients or clients questioning their gender identity. A good clinician who is nonetheless not the right fit for you is often happy to make referrals to others based on the concerns you articulate in a preliminary conversation.
