About me

Do you feel frightened that your world might fall apart if you look at your sexuality or gender? Sensing that there's something more, but not knowing what that is; not sure whether the world of LGBTQ might be for you. Do you want to feel more at ease with yourself? Then email me to have a short initial chat about working together.

Maybe you have thoughts going round and round in your head and feel like you've lost track of perspective. You may feel like there's no-one you can talk to, which can be isolating. You may believe that what's inside you is too shocking, or wrong or too much for the people around you.

Here's just some of the situations I have helped people with: I'm attracted to the 'wrong' person � wrong gender or not available or inappropriate. I feel repulsed or scared at the idea of sex, and haven't had a 'proper relationship' � what's wrong with me? I fear that if I really looked at what is going on in my relationship I might leave, and that seems overwhelming. The relationship/sex that I want isn't acceptable in my culture, I don't want to betray my family and I don't know who I can talk to. I think that the gender that everyone else sees me as, isn't what's inside me, but I don't know what that means for me � am I trans or non-binary? - do I have to have a label for it?

Imagine feeling less anxious and able to live your life peacefully. To know that you're normal and that these feelings are not something to be scared of. You can feel better about yourself, have better relationships and become more confident in the decisions you make.

I have over 40 years' life experience of being a member of the LGBTQ+ community, as well as working with heterosexual people in different capacities.

As time has gone by I have become even more open-minded about the many different ways we have of living and loving. I have undertaken additional training in gender, sexuality and sex, because acceptance matters to me. If what I've written interests you, then email me to arrange an initial free 20 minute call to see how we might work together.
