LGBTQ+ Issues
Alison Edwards Therapy & Supervision
Psychologist, CBT Therapist, FMBPsS, MA (Hons), MSc, CertCouns, MSc
I’m experienced in supporting clients who identify as LGBTQ+, or have a family member who identifies as LGBTQ+ and are looking for a confidential place to discuss a range of issues. This includes supporting teens and young people who are transgender or going through difficulties with gender dysphoria and body issues. I attend regular supervision with therapists who specialise in LGBTQ+ issues. I've taken specialised training on domestic abuse in LGBT+ relationships, and I'm currently working towards accreditation as a Gender, Sexuality & Relationships Diversity Therapist. I'm committed to broadening my knowledge in these areas and providing an LGBTQ+ affirmative practice.

LGBTQ+ Issues
Emma Poxon
Counsellor/Therapist, MA Person-Centred Experiential Counselling
I am a non-binary bisexual therapist so I know first hand the challenges that LGBTQIA+ people face. It’s so lovely being able to have that immediate understanding of things that straight cisgender people just don’t experience, saving the need to over explain and welcoming in supposed “weirdness”. You are not a problem to be fixed, my aim as your therapist is to try to provide the right conditions to allow you to explore whatever you want to bring to therapy to support your growth. This isn't a therapeutic approach wherein I will set a treatment plan or tell you what to do. We will work together as a partnership rather than me taking away your autonomy. I absolutely love the work I do, it is the biggest privilege being let into people’s personal worlds and seeing the immense growth of my clients. I hope to hear from you soon!

LGBT issues can include identity, acceptance, relationships, and experiences of misunderstanding or exclusion. I provide a respectful and affirming space to explore emotional challenges connected to sexuality or gender identity. The focus is on emotional safety, self-understanding, and stability.

LGBTQ+ Issues
Jill Deacon
Counsellor/Therapist, BSc and FdSc Person Centred Counselling. MBACP
We can all experience mental health issues. Members of the LGBTQ community seek help at a higher rate, perhaps due to discrimination and stigma still rife within families, work, peers and society at large. Depression, anxiety and other mental health-related issues can also lead to higher rates of addiction and substance misuse, damaging behaviours, self-harm and suicidal ideation and suicide.
Working with an LGBTQ affirmative counsellor can provide a safe place to empower each persons' unique challenges in life and to explore the feelings and experiences.
8 Years Experience
Online in Birmingham, ENG England (Online Only)
Birmingham is one of the youngest and most ethnically diverse cities in Europe, with large South Asian, Caribbean, and African communities that generate consistent demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists who understand the intersection of identity, faith, and mental health. The city's industrial heritage and post-industrial transition shape a therapy culture in which economic stress, intergenerational family dynamics, and the challenges of navigating change are common themes. Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust provides public mental health services, with a private therapy community serving Edgbaston, Moseley, and Harborne. The University of Birmingham and Aston University maintain active clinical psychology training programs that feed into the city's broader therapy ecosystem.
