I offer support to people of all gender identities, including those who identify as non-binary. The journey of coming to terms with one’s sexuality, gender identity, or sexual orientation is often deeply personal—and can be profoundly isolating. Whether you are facing external homophobia or grappling with the quieter burden of internalised shame or doubt, these experiences may leave lasting psychological imprints.
The distress caused by discrimination—regardless of how subtly it may manifest—can undermine a person’s well-being, often in ways that are not immediately visible. It may trigger complex thoughts, overwhelming emotions, and behaviours that feel particularly challenging, sometimes leading to moments of crippling self-doubt or even self-disruption.
Within the therapeutic space, there is room to slow down and attend to these layers of experience with care. Together, we may begin to explore, name, and transform what has long been held in silence—offering space for compassion, clarity, and greater integration.
For some, the experience of mental and emotional distress can feel all-encompassing, touching every area of life—self-esteem, relationships, even the ability to make choices around work or direction. The pain of rejection, in any form, is often internalised. Over time, it may foster a quiet but persistent sense that something is fundamentally wrong—a feeling that can be difficult to name, but impossible to ignore.
In therapy, we begin with a commitment to safety and confidentiality—not just as formal principles, but as essential conditions for healing. Within a non-judgemental and attuned relationship, we can start to gently unpack and deconstruct the ideas and beliefs that have shaped your inner world. Together, we will move towards greater self-acceptance, self-affirmation, and the possibility of living from a place that feels more true to who you are.
By exploring what is happening in your life now—and linking it to your earliest experiences—we can begin to identify patterns, meanings, and unconscious strategies that may no longer serve you. From this understanding, we will work together to develop ways of moving forward, so that you might begin to free yourself from burdens that are no longer yours to carry.
How does Psychotherapy works?
In our first session, I will ask thoughtful questions to begin understanding who you are and what has brought you to seek psychotherapy at this point in your life. From there, our focus will gently shift toward exploring your current situation—how you are experiencing it, what it means to you, and what feels most important to address.
I offer an environment that is open, non-judgemental, and confidential—a space where you are met with empathy, presence, and skilled understanding. The therapeutic relationship itself becomes the foundation from which we begin to explore, reflect, and grow.
Sessions last 50 minutes and can take place once, twice, or three times a week. You are welcome to engage in psychotherapy for as long as it continues to feel meaningful and supportive to your journey.
