I am a therapist and writer who is interested in and respectful of relationships, lifestyles and individuals outside of mainstream or prevailing norms. I work online and can meet with people over webcam, via ‘phone, through instant text chat or email exchange.

I’ve trained in a range of approaches but prefer to use narrative and dialogical approaches and to work with people in collaborative ways. My practice is influenced by the work therapists such as Harlene Anderson, Johnella Bird, Michael White, and Art Fisher. I am also interested in reading and editing pieces of writing that assists in the understanding of non-mainstream ways of living and loving particularly those that exist outside of, or challenge, the heteronorm.

I specialise in working with people in non-exclusive and polyamorous relationships, LGBTQ folk, sexuality, concerns about pornography ‘addiction’, ‘sex addiction’ and erectile dysfunction.

While my primary language is English, I do speak some Swedish and sometimes Swedish-speakers consult me in Swedish. Appointments in-person in Australia may attract a rebate through Medicare. Those outside of Australia can make payment for consultations through Paypal in a range of currencies. I work with people all over the world.

Hi, I’m Rachelle (she/her).

I am a relationship therapist with a Master of Counselling from the University of Queensland. I have previously worked with both adolescents and adults, but currently focus on supporting individuals (aged 18+), couples, polycules and families.

Many of the people I work with come to relationship counselling with no previous experience in therapy, and have nerves about what it will be like. I intend to follow a pace that you are comfortable with, and aim to foster a space of safety in our work together. I approach the work we will do from an attachment framework, and draw from approaches including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Person-Centred Therapy. I strive to support clients in tapping into their own authenticity, and explore what is valuable to them.

My work is inclusive of all relationship styles (polyamory, non-monogamy, monogamish), is LGBTQIA+ welcoming, kirk affirming and sex worker allied.

I am a registered counsellor working with adult clients experiencing challenges in their intimate life and relationships. I am passionate about supporting people in navigating their relationship(s) and living a life according to their values. I can help you with the following; relationship anxiety, codependency, navigating alternative relationship styles, boundary issues, low self-esteem, loss of intimacy, …

My approach is warm, accepting and with a focus on your needs, goals and values. I tend to have an empowering style in my counselling sessions with plenty of room for being your unapologetic self. I provide evidence based therapy and work within an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy framework.

I have a special interest in working with LGBTQIA+ individuals and those who have an alternative relationship style (including non-monogamy, polyamory, relationship anarchy, kink).

I am Board certified as a Sex Therapist by numerous professional organizations. I am licensed in California by the Board of Behavioral Sciences as a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), and in British Columbia as a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC). I have practiced since 1966. I work with people of all sexual orientations and relationship configurations who have sexual questions ranging from difficulties to enhancement.

I affirm my commitment to personal, consensual, sexual rights and choices, gender equality and personal responsibility, and to the autonomy and empowerment of people regardless of gender or sexual orientation or expression. All individuals, couples and families have the right to decide, freely and responsibly, what part they want sexuality to play in their relationships. I have worked with many poly and kink couples and families.

Many clients are now being seen via Skype.

I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor and I offer telehealth-based counselling services to adults in Alberta.

My passion is working with women with sexual concerns, such as low desire, painful sex, or orgasm issues; however, I also enjoy working with clients with anxiety and people who are either current or former members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I would also be open to seeing teenage girls if they are dealing with sexual dysfunctions or other sexual issues.

The journey of healing and growth can be messy, challenging, and heartbreaking, but at the same time beautiful, majestic, and worth every effort. I believe that counselling is a place where space is held for you to process deep emotions, overcome obstacles, increase self-awareness, feel vulnerable, be challenged, connect, grow and work towards a life that’s more fulfilling.

Growth and healing flourish in a safe space, so that’s what I work hard to create: an open-minded and judgment-free environment where you feel heard, validated, and respected. As a counsellor, I bring my authentic self into each session, led by knowledge and powered by intuition. This means that you will see me not only as a counsellor, but as human as you are. I will meet you where you are, help empower you and equip you with the tools to make lasting changes and become the best version of yourself.

My approach looks at the whole person, so we will dive into all aspects of you who are: physical, mental, social, and spiritual; past, present, and future. Collaboratively, we will navigate your struggles, challenges, and/or areas of your life that you would like to see transformed. Because every person’s story is unique and valuable I use an integrative style (drawing from various theories and approaches), which means that every therapeutic experience is as unique as you are.

My primary focus is working with members of the LGBTQ2IA+ and non-monogamous communities. Through lived experience as a queer and poly ciswoman, I understand many intersectional experiences of oppression and vulnerability. This provides me with deeper insight into how I can support my clients from an anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, sex-positive, and affirming framework.

My areas of passion are:

LGBTQ2IA+ Individuals, Partners, Groups, and Families

Ethically Non-monogamous Relationships and Non-traditional Dynamics (polyamory, open relationships, swinging, kink, sex work, etc.)

Gender and Sexuality

Sex and Intimacy

Consent and Boundaries

Religious Trauma

Chronic Pain

Neurodiversity

At the Therapy Calgary Emotions Clinic, my focus is on helping clients achieve emotional freedom. I specialize in overwhelming emotions like fear, anxiety and trauma, and have a special focus on anger management.

I provide 1-on-1 therapy sessions, and my services are geared towards adult men and women. I provide services in English.

I specialize in helping individuals and partners navigate the extra something that makes their relationship(s) a unique challenge. Folks I work with are often loving outside of the cisheteronormative & mononormative structure such as ethical non-monogamy, kink/BDSM, or other LGBTQ2S+ relationships. I also work with people whose experience of the world may be impacting their relationships, such as folks who are neurodivergent, individuals living with disability, or folks for whom trauma is showing up. I strive to help folks design the intentional relationships they are struggling to create on their own.

What we’ll work on together is understanding how the particulars of your life intersect with your relationship and shape your needs, communication, and boundaries. We will begin a dialogue about the intersection of the relationship(s) and the condition(s)/context(s) which can help to improve the level of understanding and empathy in the relationship.

I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation if you wish to learn more about how we can best address your specific needs and to help you determine whether I would be a good person to collaborate with on your journey.

Please see my website for the most up-to-date information about my practice, including COVID-19 policies, and availability.

Sexuality is one of the core components of human existence. Human sexuality embraces our identity, mind, body, gender and attractions. Our sexuality is guided and influenced by our relationships, culture, awareness, values and spirit, and can shift and evolve at any given time.

Many of us have unaddressed sexual questions and concerns. For some, these questions are simply too uncomfortable or embarassing to explore. For others, their concerns are overshadowed by negative messages that have created shame, fear and guilt. These, compounded by the many issues we face in our daily lives - work, school, children, relationship conflicts, stress, social pressures, etc. have created barriers to having a healthy sexuality.

Your sexuality and sexual health is a priority. Together we will work to resolve your concerns, have your questions answered, and enrich your sexual and intimacy experiences.

I believe that counselling is a place where space is held for you to process deep emotions, overcome obstacles, increase self-awareness, feel vulnerable, be challenged, connect, grow and work towards a life that’s more fulfilling.

Growth and healing flourish in a safe space, so that’s what I work hard to create: an open-minded and judgment-free environment where you feel heard, validated, and respected. As a counsellor, I bring my authentic self into each session, led by knowledge and powered by intuition. This means that you will see me not only as a counsellor, but as human as you are. I will meet you where you are, help empower you and equip you with the tools to make lasting changes and become the best version of yourself.

My approach looks at the whole person, so we will dive into all aspects of you who are: physical, mental, social, and spiritual; past, present, and future. Collaboratively, we will navigate your struggles, challenges, and/or areas of your life that you would like to see transformed. Because every person’s story is unique and valuable I use an integrative style (drawing from various theories and approaches), which means that every therapeutic experience is as unique as you are.

My primary focus is working with members of the LGBTQ2IA+ and non-monogamous communities. Through lived experience as a queer and poly ciswoman, I understand many intersectional experiences of oppression and vulnerability. This provides me with deeper insight into how I can support my clients from an anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, sex-positive, and affirming framework.

My areas of passion are:

LGBTQ2IA+ Individuals, Partners, Groups, and Families

Ethically Non-monogamous Relationships and Non-traditional Dynamics (polyamory, open relationships, swinging, kink, sex work, etc.)

Gender and Sexuality

Sex and Intimacy

Consent and Boundaries

Religious Trauma

Chronic Pain

I’m a relational therapist experienced in supporting individuals around consentual non-monogamy/polyamory, kink, gender, sexual identity and experience in sex work.

I draw on relational and feminist psychodynamic therapy that recognizes how our identities, ways of being with others, and experiences of the world are shaped by social forces, systemic oppression, and past wounds.

My approach is collaborative, client-led and aimed at cultivating curiosity, compassion and great relational risks.

The best way to see if we are a good fit is to book a free 20 minute consultation.

You can book directly on my site www.deepwelltherapy.com or email me at [email protected]

Looking forward to connecting with you.

Becoming a therapist has been an intentional journey that is the direct result of a desire to collaboratively facilitate healing in myself and those around me. It is difficult to be in the world right now and experiencing disconnection from ourselves and others can contribute to overall feelings of isolation and ‘stuckness’. Our work together will foster the resilience and self-compassion needed to weather these storms and to recognize and celebrate the wisdom found in the struggle.

I am a registered Clinical Social Worker who is currently providing remote services to LGBTQ folks in Ontario and Newfoundland. I work from an anti-oppressive, anti-shame, trauma-informed lens and have completed advanced training in Narrative Therapy, Sex Therapy, Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy, and Somatic Experiencing.

I work with individuals and couples. My rates are: $100 per session (taxes incl.) for individuals and $150 per session (taxes in) for couples. I have some sliding scale spots that I leave reserved for BIPOC folks. My services are typically covered under insurance but it is up to you to consult with your individual plan to make sure.

I am a trauma-informed, sex-informed, and pleasure-informed psychotherapist that aims to inspire curiosity in our pain and how we approach relational dynamics. I offer a safe space to explore anything that might feel shameful or taboo, and highlight your strengths and what is working for you to empower sovereignty and authentic expression.

Professional specialties and skills: IFS (parts work), EFT, expressive therapies, mindfulness and compassion-focused therapy. My practice is relationally-focused, integrative, and intuitive, tailoring each session to each unique client.

Language(s) spoken: english

Populations served - ages, concerns, etc.: teens, adults, couples, polycules

I help adults from the straight and LGBTQ communities and from the poly, kink, cisgender, trans, genderqueer and nonbinary communities with concerns including challenges in their relationships and poly relationship structures, feeling stressed and anxious, feeling badly about themselves, loneliness, challenges with being LGBTQ, sexuality, sexual orientation and gender (including transition), and challenges with alternative sexualities. My work is confidential and collaborative, and my office is a safe space to explore your concerns and how we can work through them together. I address all aspects of my clients' lives including friendships, family, culture and spirituality. My approach to psychotherapy is cognitive behavioural, narrative, relational, solution-focused, strengths-based and anti-oppressive.

I have a Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology from the University of Toronto, a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology from the University of British Columbia, and an Advanced Certificate in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy from The Hincks-Dellcrest Centre / University of Toronto. My work is inclusive and informed by anti-oppression training. I am a Founding Member of the Canadian Association of Cognitive Behavioural Therapies, a longstanding member of the LGBTQ community in Toronto and a Member of the Canadian Professional Association for Transgender Health. I am a kink-aware therapist.

I offer individual and relationship therapy (18+) both online (across Ontario) and in person in my Waterdown office. I support depression, anxiety, trauma (including healing from childhood wounds), developing healthy boundaries, addressing concerns with self-esteem and confidence, grief and loss and more! In relationship therapy, I can help with healing from affairs and other betrayals, rebuilding trust, improving communication, enhancing connection, navigating mental health concerns, adjusting to life transitions, and more! I have specialized training in the perinatal period (fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, adjustment to parenthood and beyond, as well as pregnancy and infant loss).

I adopt an integrative approach to therapy drawing from attachment theory, emotionally focused therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy and mindfulness practices. I adopt a feminist, trauma-informed, and anti-oppressive framework.

I identify as a poly person since 2002. Professionally, I am a therapist and a counsellor, working with people in alternative lifestyles for the last 6 years.

It is very courageous and exciting to open-up and start living a poly lifestyle. There are times, however, when it is confusing and painful. I am here to help you through those times.

For those who will decide to continue counselling with me after a free intro session, I accept extended insurance. - Does phone consultation

I work to meet people where they are and help them to unravel psychological problems that are negatively impacting their lives. I utilize a collaborative approach to therapy where I’ll explain what we’re doing and why so that we can engage in the process together. My goal is to help people to get back on the path towards happiness and living as well as they can.

I specialize in sex and sexuality related disorders (such as “sex addiction,” sexual abuse, or performance anxiety), trauma and stress related disorders (such as PTSD) from a variety of causes (rape, car accident, injury), mood disorders (such as Anxiety and Depression), and relationship and couples' issues (such as affairs and relationship conflict). Psychotherapy isn’t always easy, but it can help you to live better and to achieve a life closer to what you desire. If that interests you, reach out.

Hi, I’m Marla (they/them pronouns). I am a therapist and educator specialized in exploring consensual non-monogamy (polyamory, open relationships, etc.), gender, and sexual orientation. I work predominantly with couples and non-monogamous constellations (partnerships of more than 2). My aim is to offer accessible, wholistic, non-judgmental support services. My work is informed by anti-oppression, anti-racist, intersectional feminist, and harm-reduction philosophies. I aim to co-create respectful, safer spaces where peoples’ identities are understood within the framework of their own experiences and social context.

Building healthy communication skills is a paramount feature of my practice! My approach varies depending on the unique needs of the people with whom I collaborate. I aim to begin from a place of curiosity, making sure that you are leading the session. I tend to start with a relational/talk-based style and incorporate alternative techniques where applicable.

The best way to get a feel for my style is to email me for a free 15-minute consultation: [email protected]

We might be a good fit if you’re looking for support in the areas of:

•     Relationships
  

•     Polyamory
  

•     Consensual non-monogamy
  

•     Sexuality
  

•     Intimacy
  

•     Identity
  

•     Kink/BDSM
  

•     Gender
  

•     "Coming out"*
  

•     Communication
  

•     Life transitions
  

•     Spirituality
  

I am bilingual in English and French but have been working primarily in English for the last 5 years. I can offer French services for those who have minimal abilities in English so we can switch between languages in Montreal’s FrEnglish fashion.

• Constellations refer to romantic and/or sexual relationship formations of more than 2 people.

• “Coming out” is a term that is often used to describe the process of beginning to share one’s sexual orientation with others. For those who are undergoing gender transformations, or people engaged in non-traditional relationship formations, “coming out” can be a similar process of sharing intimate parts of one’s private life with others. “Coming out” is often mistaken for something that happens once but can actually be a very complicated process for some, taking place over a long period of time. “Coming out” can be a sudden experience for some, and for others, it happens regularly throughout the lifespan. I like to reframe it as “letting people in” as it might indicate a more selective process.

I believe that every person has the strength and will to achieve their desired outcomes. My role is to provide you with the tools, support, education, accountability, and environment to help you get there. For shorter-term treatment we will use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Brief Therapy. For longer-term therapy, we will also draw on Psychodynamic Therapy and Self Psychology. Regardless of the approach, I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust is the key.

Areas of specialization include: anxiety, depression, stress, career direction, academic stress, trauma, and spirituality. I work with men’s issues, high school students and their families, parents, and individuals.

I offer a collaborative and client-centered approach to psychotherapy. Together we will work to create authentic and meaningful experiences that facilitate change in your life. I am happy to meet with you to learn more about your goals. Please contact me for a free initial consultation.

I believe that counselling is a place where space is held for you to process deep emotions, overcome obstacles, increase self-awareness, feel vulnerable, be challenged, connect, grow and work towards a life that’s more fulfilling.

Growth and healing flourish in a safe space, so that’s what I work hard to create: an open-minded and judgment-free environment where you feel heard, validated, and respected. As a counsellor, I bring my authentic self into each session, led by knowledge and powered by intuition. This means that you will see me not only as a counsellor, but as human as you are. I will meet you where you are, help empower you and equip you with the tools to make lasting changes and become the best version of yourself.

I work with poly individuals and couples, or throuples, from both straight and queer-identified communities. I prioritize poly clients in my practice because it can be difficult to connect to a poly-positive therapist, even in a big city like Toronto.

My work is informed by anti-oppression training and guided by adult-attachment theory. I practice Emotionally Focused Therapy with couples and throuples; by building stronger connections between them, issues and concerns are often resolved.

With individuals, my work remains relational. I draw from a variety of modalities to help folks identify and communicate their needs, determine their boundaries and provide insight into the dynamics of their relationships.

Is life feeling overwhelming? Do you feel stuck in old patterns, out of control or just freak’n frustrated? Okay, so here is some good news: getting started is one of the hardest parts of change, you are already on the road to change by seeking help. My job is to help you have a great life. It’s a big goal, but the challenge and process are deeply gratifying in their own right. Therapy with me rests on two core principles: a gentle, warm, collaborative therapeutic relationship and a scientifically based approach which supports you in achieving your goals.

My client’s are creatives, entrepreneurs and change makers (or those that want to be). As a Registered Psychotherapist, Trauma Informed Therapist and Mindfulness Meditation Facilitator I create a safe space where creative people of all genders and sexual orientations can explore and find new awareness that will fuel change in their life.

I’m a sex and kink positive; LGBTTQQIAAP affirmative, poly and non-monogamous relationship friendly therapist. If you are tired of feeling stuck with your status quo, or you want to bring even more goodness into your life, I invite you to give me a call at 647-992-2253 or email me from www.shaunacake.com.

The first thing I want to tell my clients is that it’s ok to be shameless. What we carry with us is often burdened under the weight of shame. This can make it challenging to share the most intimate details that are affecting our physical and mental health. I’m here to listen and to offer you space free from judgment. I work with adults who are dealing with challenges related to sex & sexuality, and alternative relationship structures; those who are navigating sexual shame; and those exploring sexual interests. I’m an activist and advocate for sexual rights & freedoms, and am queer-, kink-, polyam-, and sexworker-friendly.

Currently taking new, individual clients. Contact me for a free consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

Addictions, Anger, Anxiety, Depression, Panic, Phobias, Trauma, etc.

Relationship Concerns (e.g. Attachment Styles, Infidelity, Non-Monogamy, etc.)

Sex-Related Concerns (e.g. Erectile-Dysfunction, Hypersex, Pornography, etc.)

I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor and I offer telehealth-based counselling services to adults in Alberta.

My passion is working with women with sexual concerns, such as low desire, painful sex, or orgasm issues; however, I also enjoy working with clients with anxiety and people who are either current or former members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I would also be open to seeing teenage girls if they are dealing with sexual dysfunctions or other sexual issues.

I use relational, psychodynamic, and psychoanalytic frameworks with poly- and kink-friendly, queer-affirmative, and trauma-informed lenses. I speak English, Hindi, Malayalam, and Tamizh. I work with young adults (18-30 years) and adults (30-60 years) on the impact of trauma and relational difficulties in various life domains.

I provide long-term online therapy across India and the South Asian diaspora.

The services offered are those of counseling and psychotherapy to people from all over the LGBTQ spectrum and the area of non-monogamous consensual sexual relations. I have training in lifecoaching, REBT counseling and am a supervised psychotherapist in Katathym Imaginative Psychotherapy. I am also an assistant professor at two universities in Rep. Moldova.

I am fluent in my native Romanian. English level C1 and Russian A2.

I work mostly with LGBTQ and non-monogamous consensual people of all ages from Romania and Republic of Moldova.

If you’re currently in an ethically non-monogamous relationship, it’s quite likely that you’ve been on quite a journey already. Pulling yourself loose from the world’s one-dimensional narrative on love, and instead defining your own rules isn’t always easy. I celebrate you in your courage, and understand how important it is to have a therapist who is able to relate. My stance and philosophy are explicitly inclusive, regardless of ethnicity, religion, gender identity, sexual expression, or the way you want to shape your relationship.

Most of my clients are aged 20-45 and all find relief in the safety, warmth and openness that we create together in our sessions.

I’m a psychologist trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and specialize in relationship therapy. EFT is an empirically validated method based on attachment theory, with the best results of any couple therapy currently out there. It can be successfully applied to polyamorous relationships. I also provide individual therapy to those who seek to regain balance, clarity, and a renewed sense of inner peace.

Fluent in English and Dutch, I offer both in-person sessions in Amsterdam and online sessions. Feel free to check out my website anlacan.com for advice on my blog, or to schedule a free introductory meeting!

‘De Noodzaak’ means ‘The Necessity’ in Dutch. You take the biggest steps in life when you feel it’s a necessity. You get stuck, something impactful happens to you or you end up in a crisis for some other reason. Or you’ve been struggling for a while and end up thinking: this is it, something needs to change. De Noodzaak counseling helps you with that. In my practice I work with the following subjects:

• (Non-monogamous) relationships, sex and intimacy
• The balance between your thoughts and your feelings
• Sensitivity and spiritual experiences
• Life changing questions and the meaning of life

I work with aged 18+ Individuals, Couples/Partnerships/Other Relationship Structures of all genders and sexualities in supporting people to lead the best life possible.

Knowledge and Understanding of Italian Culture and Language.

I offer individual counselling and psychotherapy for adults using an integrative approach, on a short or long-term basis. Sessions take place face to face in central Brighton or online via Zoom for clients based elsewhere in the UK.

I am experienced in working with polyamorous and non-monogamous clients, as well as clients who practise BDSM, who are sex workers, and/or are LGBTQIAP+. I frequently work with clients on issues around sexuality, gender, relationships, and identity, as well as working with polyamorous clients on unrelated issues like anxiety, depression or low self-esteem.

I also offer supervision for therapists and other mental health professionals, and consultation on issues related to working with clients who are polyamorous, non-monogamous, LGBTQIAP+, or practise BDSM.

I am an integrative counsellor working with individuals in short- and long-term therapy, face-to-face and online sessions.

I am respectful of all gender, sexual and relationship diversities. Whatever you bring to the sessions, we will talk about sensitively and work through with encouragement, knowledge, and understanding. I have particular experience working with issues around belonging, depression, low self-esteem, grief, loss, exploring sexual and gender identity, transitions, non-monogamy, relationship issues, personal development and spiritual growth.

I work with adults (18+). I speak English and Danish. I work in-person at Kings Cross and London Bridge and online via Zoom.

I completed degrees in science and philosophy before qualifying as a counsellor, and I combine the analytic strength of these disciplines with the warmth of humanistic therapy. Following the person-centred approach, I believe that every person has the capacity within themselves for growth and healing. My job is to provide an empathetic and supportive environment for that capacity to unfold. My work is also influenced by cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), meaning that I help clients explore the unstated, often unhelpful, assumptions behind their responses to challenging situations. I also draw from various other theories and methods, including existential psychotherapy, transactional analysis, and mindfulness practices. I have read very broadly, within psychotherapy and related disciplines, and try to offer whatever I think would be helpful to each client as an individual without ever being prescriptive.

I have had a varied career, and I believe that familiarity with the variety of human experience is one of my great strengths as a therapist. I approach each client with warmth, an open mind, and a sense of their unique perspective on the world. I particularly welcome inquiries from clients who may worry about judgement or misunderstanding. This includes people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual or otherwise embody gender, romantic and sexual diversity; people in non-monogamous relationships, who participate in BDSM, do any form of sex work, who use psychoactive drugs, belong to other minority groups, or who otherwise feel marginalised or under-served by the counselling profession.

My practice is based in South East London, and I try to offer flexible arrangements. I work both short- and long-term, and offer online session in addition to face-to-face. Please get in touch if you have any access needs or questions!

My specialties include conflict; self-esteem, issues relating to sexuality, parenting, anxiety and trauma.

I trained at ProcessworkUK, and have 10 years experience of seeing clients. I work with individuals, couples, thruples and polycules as well as groups. My practice is sex positive, trauma informed and works with the body, the mind and the heart. I’m also sex critical- sex can be wonderful or horrible, however it is not the be all and end all. As a process-oriented practitioner I tailor sessions to you and what is happening- it may be more linear and involve talking and coaching or we will explore your dreams or work with your body. I’m deeply passionate about working with people and cherish the beautiful diversity of both humans and nature ore briadly. I’m not just interested in"fixing" things but also in engaging with the creativity of the challenges you face. I’m a cis queer white woman, aware of the privilege and challenges that this brings to my perspective. Im a mother of a mixed race child and am engaged around issues of racism, white privilege and parenting. I run a group for mothers local and am setting up a monthly sex conversations group in Stroud. I also work in corporate settings where I deliver very practice-oriented conflict facilitation and leadership trainings.

Online and Telephone Counselling and Psychotherapy from Leeds, West Yorkshire.

Having been part of polyamorous community for some years myself I understand that non-monogamy can be lived in many ways (and that it may not be the best option for everyone). I am open to helping you explore any aspect of your life which may or may not include polyamory as an issue. I’m here to work alongside you at your own pace and direction on anything you’d like to talk through. I’m happy to work with adult individuals, couples or other relationship groups and shapes.

As a therapist I believe that you have the power and knowledge within you to help with the problems you are experiencing; to heal and to grow. As a practitioner I make a commitment to you to help and support you with what you bring to me. To do this I use my experience and understanding to support you in a way which is open, non-judgmental, focused on your issues and as real and human as possible.

I believe therapy is about your felt experience inside and outside of the therapy room, rather than about cognitive interpretations of your past and behaviour.

Through effective therapy we can become more able to accept and respond flexibly to our feelings, relationships and circumstances.

I work with a wide variety of people including LGBTQ+ individuals and their family members; people with or supporting people with disabilities and long term health conditions; people experiencing difficulties or abuse in their relationships

As well as working with adults I am also experienced working with children and using play and art in therapeutic work.

I offer sessions online (e.g. Skype, Zoom) as well as in person. As well as working in a typical counselling room I also offer sessions in natural spaces.

I believe a welcoming, safe, and supportive therapeutic environment is the key to emotional healing and personal growth. Working together, we will make sense of whatever has become a problem for you in the ‘here and now’ or enduring issues with their roots in the past. My hope is you will not only gain clarity and insight but know you have been understood in the context of your history, gender, sexuality and culture. I believe often when we are faced with fears linked to uncertainty, uncontrollability and unpredictability or feeling hopeless about the future, counselling/psychotherapy can support us to make a lasting change.

Integrative Psychotherapist framework draws from CBT and Psychodynamic modalities. I work with individual Adults 18+ with Anxiety and Depression and Low Mood.

I provide life coaching and psychotherapy for individuals, relationships and family groupings. I specialise in relationship issues, sexuality, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and personal development work. I also work with children and adolescents. I give workshops on relationships, sexuality, life stress skills and risk assessment. My primary practice is in London but I travel extensively and spend a good amount of time in the US.

I’m also a clinical psychologist, sex therapist and addictions specialist.

My main specialities include: feeding and eating disorders, ADHD and ASD in adults, DBT skills training for ADHD and ASD, impulse control disorders and trauma-informed care.

My interests in sex and relationship therapy include kink-affirming practice, gender identity and sexuality questioning, trauma-informed care, sexuality, intimacy and relationships in neurodivergent individuals.

As an LGBTQIA+ and Neurodivergence-informed psychotherapist, I provide a safe and inclusive space for individuals, couples and bubbles from diverse backgrounds to explore and work through a range of challenges. Most of my clients are either neurodivergent and/or identify themselves as LGBTQIA+ individuals, so it is crucial for me to take into account their unique stories and life context, and offer a trans diagnostic approach while trying to find together their strengths and balance limitations.

Hello, I’m Michele (she/they). I offer time-limited and open-ended counselling to individuals (18+) online and in-person from my therapy room in North London (N19).

I work with people on a variety of issues and welcome enquiries from everyone. Some of the areas I have a particular interest in include:

• relationships (monogamous and non-monogamous; friends, family, partners and colleagues)
• identity exploration (gender, sexuality, culture, heritage, neurodivergence, sense of self)
• adult and childhood trauma (emotional neglect, physical abuse, sexual abuse, gaslighting)
• life transitions (loss, parenthood, career change, health diagnoses)

I also have experience working with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief, family dynamics, coping with stress and self-acceptance.

As an Integrative Therapist, I draw from a variety of theories and practical techniques depending on what resonates with you. Using an affirming, intersectional, collaborative and non-judgemental approach, I will support you to explore and make sense of your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and their impact. I will help you figure out how to move forward in a way that feels right for you, and leave you with the confidence and ability to make use of inner resources and external tools when therapy ends.

I am queer-friendly and affirming of non-binary, trans and GNC folks. I work from an anti-oppressive position and my practice is always consent-led, non-pathologising and trauma informed.

Natalie Clarke is an Integrative therapist, synthesising a variety of approaches and modalities which she tailors depending on the individual client, their unique situation and what will be most supportive for them. Some key ways that she works include psychodynamic, person-centred and relational approaches. She is also influenced by body psychotherapy and attachment theory.

Natalie works with a wide variety of people, and especially aims to be inclusive to the LGBTQIAA+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer/questioning, intersex, asexual/aromantic) community and those with diverse relationship styles. Her therapeutic approach is influenced by queer theory and intersectional feminism. She is kink aware and poly-friendly.

Issues Natalie works with include: abuse, anxiety, bereavement, depression, trauma, stress, relationship breakdowns and conflicts, questions or issues around sexuality (including asexuality), questions or issues around gender, non-monogamy/polyamory, issues with family of origin, work problems, and coping with marginalised identities (due to race, sexuality, gender identity, gender presentation, disability status, sex worker status, neuroatypicality or class background).

Natalie works at multiple locations in London, including:

• Bellenden Therapies, 147a Bellenden Road, Peckham, SE15 4DH, UK

I provide Counselling and Therapy around a number of issues including: grief, stress, anxiety, depression, finding meaning and purpose in life, transitions, relationship issues, decisions, spiritual growth and personal development. I specialize in working across gender, sexual and spiritual diversities including alternative sexualities and relationalities, kink, BDSM and, in particular, the gay male Leather scene. I also have a particular interest in and specifically focus on the following areas of research and practice: understanding of gender, sexuality and cultural issues with specific focus on the areas of male (homo)sexuality and adolescent maturation into adulthood; intergenerational mentorship and the significance of ‘elders’ contribution in the community; S&M and alternative-style relationships; how sexuality and spirituality are intertwined.

I’m a poly-friendly BACP registered psychotherapist with an MA in Integrative Psychotherapy. I am passionate about trauma-informed, inclusive and acceptance-based psychotherapy. I believe in working collaboratively and transparently in a flexible, warm and genuine way. I am trained integratively in existential, psychodynamic and humanistic approaches. I have worked with complex trauma and attachment trauma extensively. In my work I draw on a number of different therapeutic approaches in order to tailor the way we use the sessions and the kind of conversations we have together to you. My aim is to build a therapeutic relationship that respects your personal experiences, needs, values, priorities and boundaries. I have worked with many polyamorous and non-monogamous people. I have considerable experience working with LQBTQIA+ people, including many trans clients; and I have worked with sex workers of all genders.

Please feel free to email to arrange an initial session or request more information.

I trained as a humanistic therapist with a focus on relational work, whereby the relationship built with my client, provides a lens on the relationships in their lives, with themselves and the various parts of themselves. I strive to be completely non-judgemental, fully accepting and completely authentic, thereby offering and modelling to the client a way of being that they may not be used to but do need, especially when they are going through difficult times. I also like to work in a body-focused approach, using changes noticed in the body during a session to connect with emotions and thoughts that are spoken about. I also like to offer breathwork in a a session if I feel like a client could benefit from it.

I have been polyamorous for over 5 years and along with my therapeutic work, have learnt and applied communication skills, ownership of insecurities, how to take responsibility for my own needs and feelings, distinguishing between my feelings and that of others and working with attachment insecurity. The clients that I have worked with have often presented with anxiety, depression, past trauma (including PTSD), relationship problems and transitions, neuro-divergent clients and LGBTQ+ clients.

• I am a fully qualified Integrative counsellor, yoga and mindfulness teacher.
• Language(s) DUTCH AND English
• I work with a wide variety of backgrounds and all ages.

I offer private therapy sessions with individuals or established relationship groups. These sessions are 50 minutes as standard, but this can be negotiated based on your individual needs and requirements.

I generally work with clients who fall into the category of gender, sexuality or relationship diverse (GSRD), whether that means someone is kinky, polyamorous, a sex worker, or queer (or a combination!). I offer a non-judgemental and supportive space for people regardless of what they bring into our sessions.

I work in an integrative way. This means I pull from a variety of different therapeutic models, including humanistic, person-centred and existential. These terms might not mean a lot to you unless you are a therapist, but it basically means I will adapt the way I work to best suit you and your goals.

I work both short-term and long-term with clients based on your goals and needs.

I am trained in other modalities that include Non-violent communication, Radical honesty and Wheel of Consent.

I offer online and in-person coaching to individuals, couples and polycules. I can help with relationship issues, honesty and authenticity in relating, life transformation and major life crises.

I have 9+ years of running workshops, facilitating groups and educating on polyamory, non-monogamy, kink and consent. I work with adults 18 and above.

I identify as solo-polyamorous and have been practicing polyamory for 10 years.

Social: @openrelating

I draw on personal and professional experience in working therapeutically with diverse sexualities, including: individuals that may identify as LGBTQIA, poly/ ethically non-monogamous. I have completed training with Pink Therapy on working with Gender, Sexuality and Relationship Diversity (GSRD) as a GSRD identified clinician. The main approach that I work with is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, a practical approach which focuses on changing problematic thinking styles and behaviour patterns through the use of solutions, tools and techniques. If you are hoping to make changes fairly quickly and acquire direct solutions to your difficulties then CBT is a great option: most clients notice a change within six sessions and are able to see significant improvements within 10-12 sessions. My previous experience includes working for the NHS alongside private practice.

I am experienced in treating various presentations including: Depression, Generalised Anxiety Disorder, Health Anxiety, Phobias, OCD, Social Anxiety, Body Dysmorphia, Perfectionism, Low self- esteem, PTSD, Trauma, Relationship difficulties and also Long-Term Physical Health Conditions. I utilise a transdiagnostic approach, integrating CBT models and formulations with processes that occur across disorders. This for example includes working with processes such as and Rumination and Intolerance of Uncertainty as well as painful emotions such as Shame and Guilt. Further to this, I have found it effective to incorporate third wave approaches such as Compassion Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness and Distress Tolerance Skills into my clinical work. Central within my practice is the belief that effective therapy is flexible and able to address the unique difficulties that individuals present. I am interested in how dominant discourses can shape people’s lives in destructive ways. This includes, experiences of oppression, shame and identity. In the context of therapy this can mean exploring stories of the self, helping individuals externalise their difficulties and co-authoring new narratives.

I am based in South and Central Cambridge and am also able to offer sessions and via the telephone.

I’m a qualified sex and relationship therapist focusing on the queer community. My specialities are helping people understand their journeys with gender, sexuality, polyamory/non-monogamy and kink. I also have specialised training in sexual function issues. I see individuals and partners(2+). I’m ND, trans, non-binary, polyamorous and disabled, and have been existing at the intersections of these communities for over 10 years.

I approach my clients “pluralistically”, which means that I work collaboratively with you on the methods and interventions that might suit your specific experience and issues. I am humanistic and relational, and draw from various models and tools to see what might fit. I don’t judge and I will always be curious.

I also believe it is essential to work with an intersectional and anti-oppressive lens and will always be open to differences in lived experience. I won’t expect you to educate me and I will not pathologise, judge you or make assumptions about your experiences.

Whether it is two partners or more in a relationship — communication is key, but it sounds harder than it is in practice. I can help you and your partner(s) understand each others’ needs and find ways to work together, whether that is to help resolve conflict, improve trust and connection, work towards a more pleasureful sex life, open-up your relationship, or even come to an amicable ending of the relationship. It does not have to be an explicitly sexual issue you want to work on - it can be any issues that are coming up in your relationship.

I am also sex work, neurodivergence, kink and disability friendly. If there is anything I can do to accommodate any needs you might have, please ask.

I take a pluralistic approach to psychotherapy, focusing first and foremost on the problems that a client brings to counselling and how they would like to address these. I specialize in working with gender and sexual minority clients and people involved in BDSM and/or polyamorous relationships. I’m passionate about helping people to create the relationships they want, whether that is rebuilding and repairing trust, opening up or closing their relationships.

Integrity, honesty and compassion are the cornerstones of my practice. My work as a coach supports people in customizing their relationships and attending to the needs, desires and boundaries of everyone involved. Most of my work is online, using Skype, FaceTime or Zoom. I am open to working by email or chat for clients that prefer these methods of communication.

I offer dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) skills groups tailored to consensually non monogamous clients. These groups are all about learning skills that help with building relationships and coping with difficult emotions. You can find out more here: https://loveuncommon.com/dbt-for-non-monogamy/

I completed my core training at The Minster Centre and hold a Diploma in Integrative Counselling, a BACP accredited course. Integrative therapy draws on multiple approaches and theories, and my way of working has been particularly shaped by relational psychotherapy and attachment theory. This means I believe that the relationships we experience in our early lives affect our later ways of relating to both ourselves and others. I believe that therapy is a fundamentally relational endeavour - not that people are broken and therefore need to be “fixed” - but rather that through working together we can come to new ways of relating, understanding and being. I try to cultivate a warm, open and non-judgemental space for you to explore yourself and your issues in. In addition, I hold a Graduate Certificate in Gender & Sexuality Studies from Birkbeck University. I am experienced in working with issues to do with gender and sexuality, relationship diversity (polyamory, non-monogamy etc) and provide an LGBTQ+ affirmative practice, but welcome clients from all backgrounds. I am mindful of the social, cultural and structural issues involved in the difficulties we face as individuals.

I believe that therapy can help with so many issues, whether they feel vague or specific, and allow us to come to a better understanding of ourselves and our histories so we can live fuller, more authentic lives.

I work online via Zoom, so welcome clients from any location.

My main focus as a therapist is sex and relationships. The majority of my work is with GSRD (Gender, Sexual and Relationship Diverse) clients, who are LGBTQIA+, kinky, polyamorous, or sex workers. I work with individuals and couples/groups. Open ended work or a fixed number of sessions. I work in person and online.

I am a member of the Pink Therapy Advanced Discussions: Kink seminar group.

2020: I have recently finished a piece of research about the experience of queer menopausal clients in therapy. I will be speaking about my work at various events during the year.

My previous career was in creative arts and media. I have published several books and have been writing for the Lancet/Lancet Psychiatry for several years.
