Estelle Dooley
Counsellor/Therapist, Accredited, MA in Counselling & Psychotherapy, MBACP Reg
I provide a safe and affirming space for individuals within the LGBTQ+ community to explore their unique challenges and experiences. With a deep understanding of the intersectionality of identities and the specific concerns faced by LGBTQ+ individuals, I offer tailored support and guidance. Through a compassionate and inclusive approach, I empower clients to navigate issues related to identity, coming out, discrimination, relationship dynamics, and mental health, fostering resilience, self-acceptance, and authentic living.

Alison Edwards CBT 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 a group of therapists who specialise in LGBTQ+ issues. I'm currently working towards accreditation as a Gender, Sexuality & Relationships Diversities Therapist, and expecting to complete this in June 2024. I'm committed to broadening my knowledge in these areas and providing an LGBTQ+ affirmative practice.

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.

Sexuality and the many feelings and sensations this brings can be overwhelming for many, especially when fear of acceptance and shame occur. I can help you to explore these feelings within yourself and step out into the world feeling proud of who you are.
