For Gay Men
Sometimes you want to talk to someone who just… gets the context.
Being a gay man doesn't mean you need therapy.
It also doesn't exist in a vacuum.
There's a lot wrapped up in how we learn to see ourselves — and how we learn to connect with other men.
Finding your people. Losing your people. Wanting connection while sometimes being absolutely terrified of it.
Therapy can give us somewhere to actually talk about it.
You don't need to spend half the session explaining gay culture, defending your relationship structure, or translating the context before we can talk about the thing you actually came to talk about.
And no, your relationship doesn't have to look a particular way.
I have a particular interest in working with gay men around relationships, attachment, intimacy, identity, self-worth, sex and shame, jealousy, boundaries, loneliness and belonging.
That includes monogamy.
It also includes open relationships, consensual non-monogamy, dating multiple people, changing relationship agreements, figuring out what the hell you actually want — or realising you're not entirely sure yet.
None of those things are automatically “the problem”.
We're interested in your experience of them.
What feels good?
What keeps happening?
What do you need from other people?
What hurts?
What are you protecting yourself from?
What happens when you actually get close enough to receive it?
Sometimes being gay will be central to our work.
Sometimes it won't come up at all.
Both are completely okay.
Come as you are.
