Saffron Marriner
Counsellor/Therapist, MBACP (Accred)
I can support clients with the process of coming out re. their sexuality. People within the LGBTQIA community are often affected by trauma due to factors such as discrimination, rejection and violence. Trauma can be varied and complex. It may include, but is not limited to: homophobia, biphobia, transphobia and other forms of discrimination. At times there may be rejection and estrangement from family, bullying and harrassment, physical and sexual violence, micro aggressions and systemic oppression. My clients should feel safe and free from judgment and harm within my counselling space. Trust and transparency is important. I may encourage clients to research further information regarding peer support groups which can offer a sense of community and shared understanding. This can be a valuable resource for healing and resilience. Being mindful with regard to pronouns and identities in order to ensure that my clients feel recognised and respected. It may be helpful, if needed to work through internalised stigma and self-acceptance and may involve challenging negative beliefs and promoting positive self identity. I work to a trauma informed model.

Samira Gholami
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor
Everyone deserves to feel accepted, respected, and comfortable being their authentic self. Yet navigating sexual orientation, gender identity, relationships, or questions of belonging can sometimes feel complicated, particularly when family expectations, cultural traditions, or societal pressures make it difficult to express who you truly are. You may be exploring your identity, considering coming out, experiencing discrimination, or struggling to find acceptance and understanding in your relationships.
As a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC), I offer compassionate, LGBTQ+ affirming counselling for adolescents and adults seeking a supportive, non-judgmental space to explore their experiences. My approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and grounded in respect for each person's identity, autonomy, and lived experiences.
My professional development includes training in supporting transgender and gender-diverse youth, strengthening my awareness of the unique challenges LGBTQ+ individuals may encounter. I recognize that experiences of identity and belonging can be deeply influenced by family dynamics, cultural backgrounds, community relationships, and personal beliefs.
Together, we can explore concerns related to self-acceptance, anxiety, relationships, family conflict, identity development, discrimination, and emotional well-being. Whether you're questioning aspects of your identity or simply looking for a counsellor who respects and understands your experiences, our work will be guided by your needs, values, and goals.
You should never feel pressured to disclose, explain, or change who you are before you're ready. My goal is to provide a welcoming environment where you can strengthen your confidence, develop healthy boundaries, and build meaningful connections while remaining true to yourself.
I offer affordable counselling in English and Farsi and would welcome the opportunity to support you in navigating life's challenges with greater self-compassion, confidence, and authenticity.
