Alison Edwards 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 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.

Emma Poxon
Counsellor/Therapist, MA Person-Centred Experiential Counselling
I am a non-binary bisexual therapist so I know first hand the challenges that LGBTQIA+ people face. It’s so lovely being able to have that immediate understanding of things that straight cisgender people just don’t experience, saving the need to over explain and welcoming in supposed “weirdness”. You are not a problem to be fixed, my aim as your therapist is to try to provide the right conditions to allow you to explore whatever you want to bring to therapy to support your growth. This isn't a therapeutic approach wherein I will set a treatment plan or tell you what to do. We will work together as a partnership rather than me taking away your autonomy. I absolutely love the work I do, it is the biggest privilege being let into people’s personal worlds and seeing the immense growth of my clients. I hope to hear from you soon!

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.

Saffron Marriner
Counsellor/Therapist, MBACP (Accred)
I can support clients with the process of coming out re. their sexuality. People within the LGBTQIA community are often affected by trauma due to factors such as discrimination, rejection and violence. Trauma can be varied and complex. It may include, but is not limited to: homophobia, biphobia, transphobia and other forms of discrimination. At times there may be rejection and estrangement from family, bullying and harrassment, physical and sexual violence, micro aggressions and systemic oppression. My clients should feel safe and free from judgment and harm within my counselling space. Trust and transparency is important. I may encourage clients to research further information regarding peer support groups which can offer a sense of community and shared understanding. This can be a valuable resource for healing and resilience. Being mindful with regard to pronouns and identities in order to ensure that my clients feel recognised and respected. It may be helpful, if needed to work through internalised stigma and self-acceptance and may involve challenging negative beliefs and promoting positive self identity. I work to a trauma informed model.
