In my experience, we often come to therapy when we feel stuck in a way of living which has become increasingly difficult and painful to sustain. Perhaps you feel life is simply surviving not thriving; that relationships have become a prison or a battlefield; that you are lost, without purpose or passion; that the future seems more scary than exciting? If any of this resonates with you, my existential approach will help you explore and process any trauma in your past; pain in the present and anxiety about the future. Helping to bring the 'real you' out of hiding and find a more joyful, peaceful and authentic way of living.

Have you ever felt like your mind is a ball of string, tangled and in need of gentle untangling?
Maybe you’re at a point in your life where you’d benefit from a pause button, or just a quiet moment to simply be. If that resonates, then you’re in the right place.
I understand that taking the first step towards seeing a therapist can be one of the hardest and most vulnerable moments, and my aim is to make that step feel safe, supported, and met with warmth and trust.
I also work with the Connections Model, seeing each individual as a whole, mind, body, emotion, and soul by exploring how different parts of ourselves connect.

I have experience of working in multiple communities including LGBT with problems related to bereavement, relationship breakdowns, sexuality, PTSD, obsessional compulsions, anxiety disorders and other symptoms of deeper problems that supress our potential.
I believe listening empathetically to your specific individual experiences and thoughts, enables a deeper understanding of why you may be feeling depressed, anxious, lonely and lack direction or purpose in your life. If you have experienced the trauma of abuse or neglect, you may be feeling isolated from others and carry a sense of shame about who you are. I have fifteen years of experience creating individualised approaches centred around the individual needs of people who are experiencing psychological difficulties.

I also have particular experience supporting adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse, young people aged 11–25 and LGBTQ+ clients.

I work with young people aged 11+, adults and older adults from all walks of life. Counselling offers space to explore what is happening, understand yourself better, recognise your strengths and begin to make positive changes.

Feeling anxious, low, or quietly overwhelmed? Perhaps you’re used to holding things together on the outside, while inside it feels heavier than it should.
I offer a calm, thoughtful space where you don’t have to get the words “right.” We can slow things down, make sense of what’s going on, and begin to ease what feels stuck. I work with adults (18+) experiencing anxiety, low mood, confidence and self-worth difficulties (including perfectionism), life transitions such as menopause or divorce, pet loss and bereavement.

Hello, I am Amy. I am an integrative therapist which means I adapt my style of therapy dependent on your needs, pace and how you prefer to work. I provide short-term and long-term therapy to adults and young people (11+).
In my practice, I am committed to making sure the therapeutic journey is an authentic and collaborative process for the individual, with your preferences at the centre of the journey.

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.

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.
