Preferred name: Tasha

A bit about me:

I am a queer, polyamorous therapist and I have a particular interest in gender identity development, ethical non-monogamy, queer identities and neurodiversity and I feel passionately that everybody should have access to therapy as their authentic selves. I bring a broad range of professional and lived experience.

My background is a Registered Mental Health Nurse and I have further trained in Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR) and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and introduction to Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT). I have ten years + experience of working as a nurse and I have worked mostly as a mental health therapist within this time and specialised in gender identity development. I have spent much of my career invested in equality and diversity inclusion roles and engaging with clients to ensure the service meets their needs. Providing a service that is accessible and caters for my community is something I am deeply passionate about.

What I offer:

An understanding therapy space for queer, gender non- conforming, non- binary and trans individuals and an ethical non-monogamous (ENM) informed practice with a deep understanding of polycules and polyamory, k!nk idenities and diverse relationship styles.

I am not a relationship therapist, I however aim to offer a space for people to access therapy with a broad understanding of queer identities and diverse relationship styles and so my sessions would be ideal for somebody who is looking to embark on individual therapy who would benefit from having a therapist with a broad understanding of this.

I am trauma informed, sensitive and thoughtful in my approach to my work and particular thought is given to neurodiversity and queer / gender diverse community.

I talior individual sessions to the individual and you do not need to be part of the LGBTQI+ community to book in with me.

I offer consultation slots for parents/ carers/ family members/ partners of queer/ gender non-conforming individuals.

My skills and training at a glance:

EMDR, DBT, introduction to CFT, neurodiversity, queer informed, trans, non- binary and gender diverse inclusive, ethical non-monogamy, polyamory, s3x workers and marginalised communities.
