Saffron Marriner
Counsellor/Therapist, MBACP (Accred)
I have a particular interest in supporting members of the LGBTQI community, whether this is any struggles regarding the coming out process which may entail feelings of loneliness, fear and shame, helping support people find their community and reach a place of self acceptance.

John Castleford
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, mARCHTI
Our biological sex is mostly determined at birth, but gender issues have the potential to adversely reflect potential conflict between the ways in which we identify with our sexuality, typically with societal disapproval of LGBT which is more pronounced in some regions of the world than others where tolerance may be the norm. Not everyone has XX or XY chromosomes. Not everyone feels comfortable about same-sex relationships, and that may be an issue derived from religious intolerance or just sheer prejudice and ignorance. Developing awareness of strategies for building resilient mind sets that better help with coping strategies can themselves be developed to enable you blossom, thrive and flourish as a person, irrespective of the intolerance of others.

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.

Identity is of particular interest to me. Sexual and gender identity have formed a core of my practice for many years, working closely with the LGBTQI+ community.

Clair Ramsden
Counsellor/Therapist, (Dip.Couns)
I have dealt with individuals from varying backgrounds, including those who identify as LGBTQIA+. While their sexual orientation or gender identity may not be directly related to their distress, individuals who belong to this group may experience social stigma that makes them feel anxious or stressed.
Through relational therapy, which is a type of psychotherapy, I can help individuals overcome these issues. It can also have a positive effect on their lives, as it can help them develop new relationships. My knowledge of the challenges faced by members of this community has been instrumental in achieving successful therapy outcomes.
