I have a Level 4 Diploma in Integrative Therapeutic Counselling.

I work with people who are often from marginalised groups, for example, LGBTQ+ people and/or people from Black and ethnic minorities.
I use mindfulness and meditation techniques, as well as traditional counselling techniques. As a practising Buddhist and mindfulness teacher, I look at the soul's journey through a lens of working with our mind and hearts in order to free up energy to achieve what we want in life. People I see want to live in a way that is congruent with their values.

I have extensive experience working affirmatively with gender, sexuality and relationship diversity, LGBTQIA identities, kink, and sex workers.
Working with relationships and individuals, I am a trauma-informed, BACP accredited psychodynamic psychotherapist. Drawing from a decade’s clinical experience, my approach weaves together psychoanalytic, attachment, Jungian, Buddhist mindfulness and somatic approaches. Sessions offer a unique opportunity for deep self-exploration and support around any areas of concern to you; a place in which to be truly seen, heard and responded to. Together, we attend to the underlying roots of present difficulties at a level of depth, towards fuller self-understanding and the discovery of new, more fulfilling ways of living, relating and being.

As an Asian gay man and being sent to boarding school, I understand the challenges of living authentically while also trying to honour the norms, values, and expectations of the community you come from.
Navigating and working toward our goals can feel overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be impossible. With a safe, collaborative, and non-judgmental space, I will help you along the way as you figure out your path. I have experience working with sexual trauma, racial trauma, attachment-based trauma, boarding school survivors, and complex trauma.

My clinical and research interests focus on identity, attachment, trauma, and addiction, primarily in LGBTQIA+ communities.
I work with a wide range of clients, however, most clients reach out to me when they are looking to work around relationships, low mood or anxiety, and difficulties in adjusting to change. Overall, my aim is to help my clients gain insight into their struggles and find different ways of thinking, behaving, and feeling about life and their circumstances. Change can sometimes be a painful and intimidating process, but working with someone willing to walk alongside you and help you develop the skills to manage the process can certainly make the therapeutic journey a pleasant and enjoyable one.

I work with individual adults of all ages and also within the LGBTQ+ community.
Talking to a qualified therapist can be profoundly insightful and in addition to my private practice I also work at ELOP (East London Out Project), a charity offering psychotherapy for members of the LGBTQ+ community. Prior to working at ELOP, I worked as an integrative psychotherapist in the NHS with a broad range of clients.

I am part of the LGBTQ+ community and have experience of working with clients who have experiences associated with living ‘against the grain'.
Together we will work with whatever you bring to therapy. This may be an issue that is clear and well defined. You might want change in your relationship or in your work, or you may want support dealing with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem or shame, for example. But it might also be something much vaguer, it may be a general interest in exploring aspects of your life or way of relating to the world, or it might be a sense of confusion, stuckness, dissatisfaction or unfinished business.

I have over 40 years’ life experience of being a member of the LGBTQ+ community, as well as working with heterosexual people and been a counsellor for 7.
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.

You may be seeking support with low mood, anxiety, depression, LBGT+ issues or adjusting to a family member's LGBT+ identity.
I’m an integrative therapist which means I combine the main schools of psychotherapy: Person-centred (working with the core values of empathy, authenticity and being non-judgemental), Psychodynamic (examining the unconscious and how the past affects the present), CBT (developing understanding of the relationship between thoughts, feelings and behaviour).

Central to my work is acknowledging the impact of intersectionality on our lives, especially in LGBTQ+ and POC.
I am deeply passionate about empowering others to find a deeper understanding of self and internal security. As an Integrative Psychotherapist, I combine various models to tailor treatment according to the specific needs of my clients. We are all unique individuals with our own unique life experiences and aspirations, I believe that therapy should reflect this uniqueness. My aim is to consistently adapt to your needs, which may vary and change across the course of our work together. By creating a safe, judgement-free environment, I invite you to be yourself as we can explore your life experiences, feelings, thoughts and behaviours.

As a member of the community, I provide a welcoming and supportive space for LGBTQ individuals, addressing issues related to gender, sexuality and relationship diversity.
Speaking with someone for the first time about personal issues or trauma can feel really daunting. It is important to feel safe and not judged when talking about difficult things, and my aim is for us to develop a relationship where you can explore whatever it is that you need to. There is not an exhaustive list of the reasons for coming to counselling initially but one thing is sure and that is it begins with building trust and beginning to speak openly. Our sessions will be collaborative: I will facilitate, but you will lead the way. Even if you can't pin point why things feel difficult, you're not alone.

I have always had a special interest in working with the LGBTQ+ community.
It's good to talk, but it’s better to be listened to. Carving out the space to focus on ourselves has never been more challenging. Psychotherapy is the chance to do exactly that, a place to build a relationship to safely explore where you are at and where you want to be. I am dedicated to helping you find ways forward that feel positive. I aim to support you in making decisions and to explore new possibilities where sometimes we find ourselves stuck in the same old patterns. I aim to instil confidence and help manage feelings of anxiety or low mood and to imagine a new way forward.

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.
