Hi there, I'm Thomas!

I work primarily with LGBTQ+ clients and anyone with alternative lifestyles. My practice focuses on adults navigating transitions and exploring identity. I combine Reality Therapy with Conversational Therapy to create a supportive, affirming environment for personal growth.

My focus

I listen with empathy and genuine understanding, guided by the belief that the most basic human need is to understand and be understood. I strive to offer support that is effective and deeply compassionate, ensuring you feel heard and valued.

My approach

I specialize in life transitions, examining psychosocial development stages and their influence on identity and relationships. I address the emotional challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals and explore social identity theory—how group membership shapes self-concept and fosters belonging.
