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.

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.
