Practice description
I am a qualified Psychosynthesis Counsellor (pgDip), Psychosexual therapist (pg Dip) with special focus on gender, sexual and relationship diversity.
Having a trans history myself (AFAB/ trans masculine), I understand the medical and legal process of gender reassignment. I am aware there is no homogenity of trans and non-binary identities, we all have different stories to tell. Through my experience and knowledge of the trans communities, I have an understanding of the wider social context that also impacts on the identity of gender and sexually diverse peoples.
I do not make assumptions about the clients pronouns or sexuality and I do not assume the clients intention of therapy is always about their gender or sexuality. I offer a respectful space where all computations of relationship styles, sexualities and gender identities are not seen as problematic. Previously, I have worked with LGBT Switchboard in Brighton and ‘All Sorts’ project for LGBTQ+ youth in Brighton.
