About Us

Our team specialises in providing GSRD (gender, sexuality and relationship diversity) affirming therapy services to individuals, couples, and multiple partnered relationships who identify as queer, trans, non-binary, poly, and kink.

We recognise that the experiences of gender, sexuality, and relationship diversity can be complex and diverse, and our therapy services are tailored to meet the specific needs of each individual client. Our therapists are knowledgeable about the diverse identities and experiences within the LGBTQ+ community, and they use evidence-based approaches to help clients navigate issues related to mental health, relationships, identity, and more.

Our goal is to create a safe and inclusive space where clients can feel comfortable exploring their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors without fear of judgment or discrimination. We recognise that many queer individuals face significant challenges and barriers to accessing quality mental health care, and we strive to address these disparities by offering accessible, affordable, and affirming services.

At The Queer Therapist Ltd, we believe that everyone deserves access to quality mental health care, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or relationship status. We are committed to being an ally and advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, both within our practice and in the larger society.
