From childhood we are given messages about the ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ ways to feel, think and behave – messages that can teach us that we must hide or supress aspects of our authentic selves in order to be acceptable to others. If you’re an LGBTQ+ person, your sexuality and gender might completely unrelated to what has brought you to counselling, but you still want to know that your therapist will affirm these parts of you. In my online therapy room, you are invited to be your whole uncensored self in the company of somebody who values you unconditionally and really listens. I am a queer therapist with trauma informed training.
In a session with me, it is completely up to you what we talk about. I believe you are the expert on your own story, and I will stay beside you while you take your own pace. My role isn't to advise but to offer reflections to help you deepen your exploration, connect to patterns in your thinking and process your experiences and emotions.
I understand that looking for a therapist can be a daunting process. Before I was a therapist myself, I was a client. My experiences from the ‘other chair’ were the main thing that inspired me to begin my training. The feeling of being truly seen and understood had a profound impact on me and I believe it can make a difference for you, too.
