John Burkin
Licensed Professional Counsellor, LPC, LMHC, LPCC, LCPC, CPL, Registered Member MBACP
Identifying as a member of the LGBT community is not enough in my humble opinion to qualify me to be of assistance to clients. I have invested time and effort attending workshops, and continuing education forums to learn about the vast range of lived experiences which are represented. I do not propose to be an expert in any one person's individual life rather I share a desire of curiosity to know and learn and align with the goals you wish to create to heal and feel better while you know you are in a safe, non-judgmental space to do so.

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.

The Art of Rest is a proudly queer-owned, queer-run business. We pride ourselves on living a life where we get the opportunity to write our own scripts of what the human experience can be.

Luq Adejumo
Registered Psychotherapist, MUKCP, MBACP
I have worked with the LGBTQIA+ community for the past 9 years and I have a breath of experience with the issues that the LGBTQIA+ people encounter both through my work in private practice and also for LGBTQIA+ organisations. A key part of this work is creating a sex positive space in which my clients can safely explore all aspects of their gender, sexuality and relationship diversity without judgement. My experience as a gay man has also helped me relate to some of the issues that my clients bring to our work together.
