I do not fit this role as a licensed therapist or healthcare professional, as I do not provide psychotherapy or clinical treatment. Instead, my work sits within the scope of specialist, affirming coaching informed by lived experience, academic expertise, and professional practice. I bring a strong combination of personal experience as a queer person and a solid academic and professional background in gender and sexuality studies, neuroscience for human interactions, and emotional coaching. This allows me to offer informed, reflective, and affirming coaching support to LGBTQ+ individuals, while maintaining clear ethical boundaries and an explicit distinction from therapeutic or clinical interventions. My coaching work focuses on emotional regulation, self-understanding, communication, identity integration, and navigating personal, relational, and professional challenges in affirming ways. I have extensive experience supporting LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent clients through one-to-one and group coaching, as well as delivering educational and wellbeing-focused workshops. These sessions are goal-oriented, non-clinical, and designed to empower clients with practical tools and reflective insights rather than therapeutic treatment. I am trained in Mental Health First Aid and work with a strong awareness of safeguarding, scope-of-practice limits, and referral pathways. Where therapeutic or clinical support is more appropriate, I actively encourage and signpost clients to qualified mental health or healthcare professionals. Overall, I offer specialist LGBTQ+-affirming coaching grounded in lived experience, neuroscience-informed understanding, and professional coaching practice, providing supportive, ethical, and non-clinical spaces for personal growth, self-awareness, and resilience rather than therapy.
