Looking for neuro-affirming therapy that understands why life can feel so heavy? Maybe you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or like everyone else got a "manual for life" you somehow missed. If you are neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+, or having difficulties navigating relationships on your own terms, you have found the right place. I offer a tailored, affirming approach for deeply feeling, anxious, and neurodivergent adults. I also specialise in sex and relationship therapy for individuals, couples, and multi-partnered folks. You aren't broken. You don't have to carry this alone.

People seek therapy for different reasons. You may be feeling low, depressed, anxious or stressed; or perhaps you just have the feeling that things are not quite right. It might be that the distress is such that you cannot function at all. These could be recent feelings or you may have been experiencing them for years. In any case, counselling or psychotherapy can help you make sense of things, explore different options or make changes. Some of these issues can be sorted after a few sessions; in other instances, a more long-term approach will be needed.

I believe every individual has deep inherent dignity and that people are worth caring for. ​Yet we live in a world where we will suffer, some of us in deep and profound ways. I meet with many clients who have complex trauma or are working through challenges related to family or church hurt. They all desire to experience life differently, to heal and be renewed. Many of my clients also desire to work with a counsellor who has a Christian perspective and can offer insights on difficulties with Christian community.

Reaching out for help takes courage, particularly if your self-esteem and confidence are low. But, if you want to make changes in your life then you may need support. People come to counselling for all sorts of reasons; anxiety, relationship issues, depression, bereavement, trauma etc. Perhaps you feel inhibited, have unhealthy patterns of behaviour or your emotions may be hijacking your ability to respond and keep perspective. Whatever the reason, the chances are you are feeling deeply distressed. You don’t have to keep struggling alone. Together we can work out what is causing you to feel threatened, overwhelmed or empty.

Are you navigating a period where life no longer feels familiar, after loss, separation, relocation, illness, or a major life transition? Perhaps you’ve been holding everything together for a long time, yet quietly feel unmoored, uncertain, or unlike yourself. You don’t have to face this period of change alone. I work with adults facing significant change who want a calm, thoughtful space to make sense of what has shifted. Many of the people I support are capable, reflective individuals who find themselves at an unexpected crossroads — grieving not only what has been lost, but questioning who they are now and how to move forward.

I don’t only listen and nod through the session — I notice what keeps you stuck, challenge unhelpful patterns, and bring insight that actually helps you respond differently. Together, we create clarity, confidence, and relationships that feel secure and balanced. You might be overthinking everything, or feel “too much” or “not enough.” You may struggle to set boundaries, feel drained, and have relationship difficulties with partners, colleagues, or family. You may feel anxious in conflict, unsure how to express your needs, or frustrated by patterns you can’t change alone. You’re in safe hands with me.

You might look like you're coping on the outside, but inside, it feels overwhelming, exhausting, or like your mind won’t switch off. I work with adults and teenagers who feel anxious, stuck, or not quite themselves, often overthinking, feeling on edge, or struggling to manage emotions day to day. Many of the people I work with are used to “holding it all together”, but underneath feel exhausted, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward. In our work together, we’ll gently make sense of what’s going on, understand patterns, and find practical ways to help you feel more in control and more like yourself again.

Trying to resolve the issues troubling you alone can feel overwhelming. Reaching out for help is a proactive first step in starting to feel better. I provide a welcoming, safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space to talk about what is troubling you. It is very natural to feel nervous about coming to counselling for the first time. I understand and never lose sight of this. I offer a complimentary 20-minute introductory telephone consultation. Some new clients prefer to book their first appointment without a call. It about what feels best to you.

Hello I’m Charlie (he/him), I work with clients who want to feel more confident in who they are and in relationships with others; I have a particular interest in working with the LGBTQ+ community. You might be going through changes in your life and this has raised new questions about who you are or how to be. Maybe they’ve been there for a long time and you’re feeling as though it’s not okay to be you. I imagine you’re good at thinking it all through, considering options and worrying about others, and, maybe somehow your feelings and needs are being missed. To others you seem to be doing well but inside it might feel very different.

FAQ - Hispanic and Latino Counselling
What can a Hispanic and Latino therapist help with?
A Hispanic and Latino therapist can support clients with a variety of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, and major life transitions. What may set a therapist who personally identifies as Hispanic or Latino apart, however, is their ability to integrate cultural context into your care. If you identify with a specific cultural background, such as Brazilian, Colombian, Ecuadorian, Mexican, Peruvian, or Bolivian, working with a therapist who shares your identity can make a meaningful difference in therapy since you may feel that you have to explain yourself less, or that certain cultural values around family, respect, religion, and emotional expression are more understood by them.

What role can language play in therapy?
Language plays a central role in how people process and express emotions. Even for individuals who are fluent in English, certain feelings, memories, or experiences may be easier to describe in Spanish, Portuguese, or in the language they grew up speaking. For many Hispanic and Latino clients, language is also closely tied to identity and family relationships. Being able to move between different languages in therapy can help reflect real-life dynamics, such as communicating with family members in one language and navigating work or school in another. Read more about the advantages of choosing a bilingual counsellor here.

How can a Hispanic and Latino therapist support family therapy?
Family is central in many Hispanic and Latino cultures, and a therapist with cultural familiarity may be better equipped to navigate family dynamics without oversimplifying them. Culturally responsive therapists may be able to more accurately interpret family roles and dynamics, thus allowing them to distinguish between cultural norms and clinically concerning dynamics. In addition, Hispanic and Latino therapists who speak Spanish may be a particularly good fit for bilingual or multilingual families, as a therapist that can facilitate clearly across languages will help ensure that all family members feel heard and understood.

How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Hispanic and Latino clients?
The best way to inquire about a therapist’s specific experience with Hispanic and Latino clients is to ask them targeted questions during an initial phone call or consultation. Consider asking questions such as: What experience do you have working with Hispanic or Latino clients? How do you incorporate cultural background into your approach to therapy? Do you offer therapy in another language? You may also ask about specific examples when they’ve navigated working with Hispanic and Latino clients.

Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists?
The Psychology Today directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists includes providers who have identified their ethnicity on their profile. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. When the number of therapists near you who identify as Hispanic and Latino is limited, the directory will also show therapists with experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
