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.

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 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.

62 ROSLYN ROAD, WINNIPEG, MANITOBA R3L 0G6 CANADA
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.

Hello, I’m Marla, a counsellor, coach, and facilitator. I’ve been designing and leading workshops about diversity, sexuality and relationships for 10 years. I have since expanded my practice to include relationship coaching and sex-positive therapy for individuals, couples, and constellations* of people engaged in a wide range of relationship formations.
My professional aim is to offer accessible, wholistic, non-judgmental services to people from diverse backgrounds and identities. My work is informed by anti-oppression, anti-racist, feminist, and harm-reduction philosophies. I aim to co-create respectful, safer spaces where peoples’ identities are understood within the framework of their own life experiences and social context.
My approach varies depending on the unique relationships and needs of the person/people who collaborate with me. I tend to begin with a relational/talk-based style and incorporate alternative techniques when applicable.
The best way to get a feel for my style is to call or message me for a free consultation: connect@marlaschreiber.com (514) 714-3675
We might be a good fit if you’re looking for support in the areas of:
Relationships
Polyamory
Consensual non-monogamy
Sexuality
Intimacy
Identity

Addictions
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. Some might say that “coming out” happens regularly throughout the lifespan.

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.

Professional licensure: India does not have a licensing/regulatory process for psychotherapists (other than clinical psychologists), so currently I do not have a license number/ID.

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.

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!

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.
182A LONDON RD, OFF VICTORIA TERRACE, LEICESTER, LE2 1ND, GB
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.
BRISTOL, UNITED KINGDOM
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.

4 CHAPEL LANE, WILMSLOW, CHESHIRE, SK9 5HX, GB
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.
TRUMPINGTON AND MILL ROAD, CAMBRIDGE
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/
ONLINE, MOSTLY WORKING WITH CLIENTS IN THE UK AND IRELAND
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.

1891 W. AHMED AVE., TUCSON, AZ 85704, USA
As a counselor, I believe that as individuals, we experience life through a lens shaped by many environmental, biological, and societal factors. Through better understanding our experiences and becoming aware of these factors that shaped us, we are able to move forward through life more authentically. I believe that finding meaning in life’s pain can bring great healing and that the broken-ness we feel is indicative of the journey of life. I believe that therapy can be a great tool in discovering one’s potential and uncovering beliefs that are keeping us stuck in the pain. I believe that you are the expert in your life and that you inherently possess the tools needed to become un-stuck.
I work primarily from an existential and person-centered framework and find great power in incorporating different techniques and modalities from other theories if/when the situation is right. Throughout clinical practicum, I worked with a range of individuals with a variety of life concerns including work concerns, interpersonal issues, trauma, depression, and anxiety. I am an LGBTQ+ allied provider and have a deep passion for working with individuals that may be experiencing stressors related to these identities. My hope for our journey together is that you feel supported and empowered to live a life of authenticity.

As a counselor, I am passionate about building a collaborative relationship in which you may feel supported to explore the interactions of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to work toward your most authentic state of being. I believe that therapy is unique to each individual and must be tailored around your personal goals and values.
I have worked with a range of individuals through concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma, self-image, interpersonal effectiveness, and exploration of intersecting identities. Humans are as dynamic as the environments we come from, and I believe it is imperative to situate client concerns within the relevant social, cultural, and systemic context. I hope to continue exploring holistic approaches to healing, as I am deeply passionate about addressing health as it relates to mind, body, and spirit.
I would be honored to work with you on your healing journey by providing a validating, empathetic, affirmative space to help you find self-connection and live your most empowered life.

Hello! I am a queer and non-binary therapist who offers an affirming space for those who are 2SLGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, kinky, polyam, gender questioning, transgender, and non-binary/ gender diverse. I believe everyone should have the opportunity to feel seen and understood from their own unique perspective, and that healing occurs as you align with your most authentic self. I am able to provide letters for HRT and surgery for those seeking support during their gender journey.
Even though I specialize in working with 2SLGBTQIA+ folks, I am not limited to working with only this population. I enjoy supporting those who are living with ADHD, Anxiety, PTSD, and OCD. The majority of my professional experience has been working with individuals who have experienced domestic violence, sexual trauma, religious and military-related trauma.
