I believe there is a great deal of help we may offer to the individuals within the LGBT community, in terms of love and support initially and to help with any confusions. I am not talking about conversion therapies in any way. I believe there are ways to help and I have found the there is a great deal to work with in the anima and animus as you hold the person's hand while they transition into whatever truth they truly want to hold within themselves and specifically the deep workings within their psyche and in their spirit. I have helped many lost souls to work out their true destiny and to feel comfortable with their decisions and the path they eventually choose to take.
Our world is becoming more and more diverse and openly addressing LGBT issues is important and widely accepted in this part of the world. If you are struggling with questions about your gender identity, sexual orientation and/ or preferences and the consequences you fear or experience in your life, therapy can be very helpful. I would like to encourage you to get competent help to find your own paths with these topics and the place in life that you want.
I have been working with the LGBT community for the past 15 years within both the NHS (56 Dean Street & the Steve Retson Project) and the charity sector; including organisations such as London Friend and The Helios Foundation.
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.
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 therapists who specialise in LGBTQ+ issues. I've taken specialised training on domestic abuse in LGBT+ relationships, and I'm currently working towards accreditation as a Gender, Sexuality & Relationships Diversity Therapist. I'm committed to broadening my knowledge in these areas and providing an LGBTQ+ affirmative practice.
