Support for gay men and women 

With over 14 years of experience working with a wide range of people, I offer a space where you can be yourself — without judgment, pressure, or the need to explain who you are.

 

I have a particular passion for working with gay men and lesbians, and I understand some of the unique challenges that can come with growing up and living in a world that doesn’t always feel accepting.

Change your Story

Despite so much change, many gay men and women still face rejection, stigma, exclusion, or subtle pressure to hide parts of themselves — from family, workplaces, or society at large. These experiences can lead to anxiety, low self-worth, shame, or difficulties in relationships.

I can offer you a safe, confidential place to unpack these experiences. My role is to walk alongside you — not to fix or diagnose you — but to help you understand what’s going on beneath the surface and support you to move forward in a way that feels right for you.

How I work

I work in a down-to-earth, collaborative way. Sessions are led by what you bring — whether that’s specific struggles like anxiety, stress, relationship issues, or a more general feeling that something isn’t right. Together, we explore what’s happening in your life and how it connects to your past, your identity, and your needs. We might look at patterns in your thinking or behaviour, how you manage emotions, how you relate to others, or how you see yourself. I aim to help you build greater self-awareness, resilience, and confidence — without ever pathologising your identity. Whether you’re navigating internalised shame, loneliness, coming out, family tensions, or simply looking for someone to talk to who understands — I offer a calm, respectful space to do that work.

Why it matters...

Mental health struggles are still more common in the LGBTQ+ community:

 

  • LGBTQ+ people are more than twice as likely to experience depression or anxiety.

 

  • About half have experienced suicidal thoughts.

 

  • 1 in 8 LGBTQ+ people aged 18–24 have attempted suicide.

These are not just statistics, they reflect the emotional weight many carry silently.

That’s why finding the right support matters.

If you’re looking for someone who will meet you with honesty, warmth, and acceptance — someone who truly gets it — I’m here to help.
