About me and my therapy practice
Whether you're just wanting one session, something more long term, or anything in-between, I offer open-ended therapy to suit your needs.
I am a queer trans man in my 30s, from West Yorkshire. I use the person-centred approach in my practice, and I qualified in 2022. I believe there is no “one size fits all” when it comes to therapy, which is why the person-centred approach resonated with me so well, as it takes into account the individuality of each client.
My aim is to provide a comfortable space for someone to explore their sense of self, their feelings, and their lives, without the fear of judgement. Resulting in you gaining a deeper understanding of yourself, and your place within this world. With this in mind, I am drawn to the LGBTQIA+ community and have both lived experience, and client experience in this area. Other areas I work with are listed in the section below.
If you're unsure if I am the right therapist for you, you can book a one off session at a discounted rate with no pressure to continue sessions if I am not the right fit for you.
I currently work remotely with clients from all over the UK. I also practice in-person out of Our House (LGBTQ+ community hub) in Wakefield city centre.
Our House is wheelchair accessible, with no step to access the building and a gender neutral accessible toilet on site.
Unfortunately, I only work with adults at this time.
My first session
First sessions are discounted to £25 (online) and £35 (in person), based on my slide scales.
Online Sliding Scale
£25 - £40. £40 standard fee.
In Person Sliding Scale
£35 - £50. £50 standard fee.
This is to make counselling more accessible for those with lower incomes. You decide what you're able to pay, and proof of income is NOT required.
Unfortunately, I am currently not in a position to offer free sessions.
