LGBT+ Therapy in Birmingham & Online.
Have you ever felt like you have to hide parts of who you are, even in spaces that are meant to be safe? Many LGBT+ people carry the weight of navigating a world where assumptions, judgements or misunderstandings are part of daily life. This can lead to feelings of isolation, shame, or the pressure to constantly explain or justify your identity. When you're facing emotional struggles or mental health challenges, the last thing you need is to feel like you have to filter your truth—even in therapy.
That's why working with an LGBT+ affirming therapist is so important. Affirming therapy isn’t just about being non-judgemental—it’s about actively creating a space where your identity is respected, understood, and supported without question. Whether you're exploring gender or sexual identity, facing discrimination, or simply wanting to talk through everyday life from a place of authenticity, you deserve a therapist who "gets it" and won’t make you educate them just to be seen.
In my practice, I aim to offer a compassionate and inclusive space where all parts of you are welcome. I recognise the specific challenges LGBT+ individuals may face—from coming out, relationship dynamics, and transitioning, to the impact of systemic prejudice or internalised shame. My approach is grounded in acceptance, respect and care, and I continuously engage in training to ensure my practice remains inclusive and informed.
You're not alone—and you don’t have to navigate these experiences without support. Therapy can be a powerful step towards understanding yourself more deeply, building resilience, and healing in a way that honours your identity. If you're looking for an LGBT+ affirming counsellor, I'm here to listen and walk alongside you.
