Welcome

‘Where would you like to begin?’ I always begin my session with this question because, whilst we often face common struggles in life, each client's experiences and aspirations for therapy are unique. You may want to manage your emotions better, enhance your relationships, or explore your diverse identities. Or perhaps you need support in adapting to a significant life change, or clarifying your sense of purpose. Whatever your reason for being here, I can offer you time and space to reflect within the context of a secure, confidential, and professionally-informed therapeutic relationship, adapted to your needs.

About Me

My name’s Cj (they/them pronouns). An experienced practitioner, I specialise in providing affirmative support to LGBTQ+/ Gender, Sexuality and Relationship Diverse (GSRD) and neurodivergent clients. I hold advanced accreditation with Pink Therapy in recognition of my depth of experience and training in working with LGBTQ+/ GSRD clients.

My calling to practice GSRD affirmative psychotherapy was inspired by my own lived experience being queer, non-binary and trans, so I understand how important finding a therapist who shares your lived experience can be when exploring issues concerning your gender identity, sexual orientation, relationship style or neurotype.

How can the therapy I offer help?

With the values of inclusion, compassion and empowerment at its heart, I offer a therapeutic space where you will be listened to, supported in exploring the issues that are troubling you - and encouraged to realise your full potential.

At the core of the psychotherapy I offer is the belief that when people are shown empathy, unconditional acceptance and validation they can learn to foster these positive qualities in their relationship to themselves, and live more authentically, with greater access to their human potential.

I recognise that clients who are LGBTQ+/ GSRD often face unique additional challenges, such as discrimination, lack of understanding, microagressions, or navigating the world as a neurodivergent person, and my skills, experience and training are adapted to meet these needs. I work in a person-centred, compassion focused and trauma informed way.

My Commitment

Whatever you bring to therapy, I’m committed to:

• Treating you with empathy and unconditional acceptance

• Being authentic in my relationship with you

• Empowering you in achieving your therapeutic goals

• Understanding and respecting your identities and unique lived experiences

• Working compassionately and fostering a sense of belonging
