Lisa Hawkins-Jack
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMSW
It’s difficult to navigate in this world when you feel like you are different in someway, even if you’re comfortable with your sexuality, it’s a different journey for you than it is for most heterosexual couples. It’s often comfortable to talk with someone who understands that and can see things through your unique perspective.

Ruth Mark-Roland Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Post Grad Diploma in Psychotherapy, Foundation and Diploma in Group Analysis
I offer support for LGBTQ+ related issues, including identity exploration, sexuality, coming out, internalised stigma, minority stress, and challenges around belonging and self-acceptance. Many of the people I work with are navigating complex questions about who they are, how they relate to others, and how to feel more at ease in themselves within a wider social and relational context.
My approach is grounded in psychoanalytic and relational psychotherapy, offering a safe, non-judgemental space to explore how early experiences, attachment patterns, and relational dynamics may shape your sense of identity and emotional life. Together, we may also explore how cultural and social narratives around sexuality and gender influence self-understanding, relationships, and wellbeing.
I work in a trauma-informed way, recognising the impact of discrimination, exclusion, or shame that LGBTQ+ individuals may have experienced. I aim to provide a steady and affirming space where all aspects of your identity can be explored at your own pace, without pressure or expectation.
I also integrate somatic awareness to support reconnection with the body, particularly where anxiety, shame, or past experiences may have led to disconnection or tension. Psychoeducation may be used to deepen understanding of emotional and relational processes, and where appropriate, I may incorporate EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques / tapping) to support emotional regulation and processing.
Therapy offers a collaborative space to develop greater self-acceptance, strengthen a sense of identity, and build more fulfilling and authentic ways of relating to yourself and others.

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.

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!
