LGBTQ+ Affirming Psychotherapy in Huddersfield
A place for exploring, shifting, and rebuilding. Sessions available in-person in the UK & across Europe.
What would it be like if you didn't have to second-guess your true self?
You wouldn’t have to…
Feel pressure to fit into the boxes others put around sexuality or gender.
Doubt your own inner knowing about who you are.
Push yourself to “figure it all out” before you’re ready.
Wonder if it will ever be the right time to explore your sexuality or gender or “come out.”
Carry the weight of invisibility alone, or the subtle ways you feel erased.
Feel like you have to earn your place in queer community or justify why you belong.
Instead, you’d have space to breathe, to feel proud, and joyful to be seen in your full complexity—without explanation.
Therapy is that space.
Nothing about what you’re going through is easy.
Maybe you’re questioning why dating feels so uncomfortable or why you’re so drawn to someone new. Your current relationship doesn’t seem to fit anymore, or maybe you’re married to a man while falling in love with a woman. It’s confusing to know which decisions to make, especially if you’re dealing with pain from family rejection, disconnection from the queer community, or exhaustion from managing how "out" you are in different spaces.
It’s no wonder you feel depleted. You’re carrying so much at once—identity, relationships, huge decisions about your future. And beneath all that, there’s still the everyday: work, stress, family, life. You deserve support from someone who truly gets it.
My Approach
Every part of you is welcome.
As a queer therapist and expat myself, I understand that queer identity is rarely just about sexuality or gender. It’s also about how you’ve had to move through the world—what you’ve learned to hide, what you’ve had to survive, and the moments of truth that have shaped you over time.
Many of my clients are experiencing big changes in their lives. Some of these are related to coming out, exploring their sexuality, or coming to terms with the end of relationships or the beginning of new ones. And some are moving through challenges who need the support of someone who understands the nuances of being a member of the LGBTQIA+ community.
Most have tried to explain these parts of themselves to friends or family, only to leave feeling talked over…or like no one quite gets it.
I work intersectionally, which means you don’t have to split yourself up to be seen. Therapy might be about exploring parts of your identity you've never voiced aloud. Or it may be a chance to simply know you’ll be understood without having to translate your life. The work we do together is shaped by what matters most to you—whether that’s integrating a new truth, healing from past harm, or finding steadiness in who you’re becoming.
There’s no right way to be queer. There’s just your way.
You can walk away from this experience with…
A truer sense of self—without needing to explain or justify it
Relief from shame that was never yours to carry
The ability to set boundaries that don’t feel like punishments
Pride and joy in who you are and confidence to be unapologetically you
More room to breathe in your identity, your body, and your life
A clearer perspective on what you want and the courage to move toward it
A relationship with yourself that feels less like a performance and more like a home
Trust in your right to take up space and own your personal worth
You’ve carried enough in silence. Now, you deserve to be fully seen & heard.
FAQs
-
Absolutely. Many of my clients are in relationships that, from the outside, look “straight”—but internally feel far more complex. Whether you’re just starting to question your sexuality or deepening your understanding of it, this is a space where you don’t have to explain or defend your identity. We’ll move at your pace, with curiosity, care, and without pressure.
-
Yes, it’s normal to feel unclear or uncertain. That’s not a barrier—it’s often the beginning. You don’t need to know the destination to take the first step.
-
I hear this often, especially from LGBTQIA+ clients. Feeling misunderstood or overlooked in therapy can be painful and disheartening. I bring both lived experience and professional training to hold space in a way that’s warm, engaged, and non-judgmental. This experience is centered around what’s best for you, and I’m here to honor that.
-
That’s okay. Coming out or not is deeply personal, and I’ll never pressure you to make decisions one way or another. You get to define your own visibility, and our work will support what feels right for you, on your own timeline.
-
Absolutely. You could’ve come here for reasons unrelated to identity—grief, trauma, burnout, life transitions—but still want to be in a space where you feel fully seen. You never have to explain or justify what matters to you here.
