I am specialised and have additional training in both LGBT therapy and Men’s therapy, but if you don’t fall under either of those banners please don’t let that put you off: I will accept clients from all walks of life.

  • Yes. Online therapy provides privacy, flexibility, and comfort, allowing clients across Preston to access professional, affirming support. Video sessions create a safe space for exploring emotions, working with protective parts, and building resilience without leaving home.

  • Definitely. Many LGBTQ+ clients have parts that carry fear or anger due to past experiences. Therapy allows you to safely explore these emotions, understand what they’re protecting, and learn to respond with calm and confidence instead of reactivity.
