Welcome,

However you arrived here, take a moment for yourself.
Breathe, pause, and give yourself quiet credit for being here. Reaching out for support is never easy, especially if you have felt judged, silenced, or misunderstood in the past.

First things first: this space belongs to you. Whoever you are, however you identify, and whomever you love, you are welcome here fully and without condition. My approach to therapy is relational, affirming, and collaborative. I roll up my sleeves and sit alongside you as we untangle what feels hard, make sense of what feels messy, and look for ways forward that fit your life. You do not need to shape yourself to fit therapy. I shape the work around you.
 

This is a space where queer and trans folks, neurospicy minds, spoonies, kinksters, allies, and racialised and minoritised people are not only accepted but celebrated. Here, you are never “too much” or “not enough.” You are understood, heard, and supported.
 

My training in both the UK and the USA has given me a wide perspective. In our work, I may draw on traditional approaches such as psychodynamic, existential, and person-centred therapy, as well as specialised methods including EMDR and somatic therapy. I bring these together with creativity, care, and intention. My practice is trauma-informed and grounded in transparency, consent, consistency, and social justice.

 

I also recognise the toll that systemic oppression takes. I have lived it, and I now research it, seeking ways to resist its effects. The exhaustion, shame, and grief that come with living in a world that is cisnormative, neurotypical, ableist, and white-centred are real. You will never be asked to leave those realities at the door. They matter, and they will be part of our work together.

If you feel ready to begin, I am here: steady, present, and ready to walk with you.

​

- Yann
