Sexuality and Gender Diversity
Sexuality, gender, and relationships are deeply personal, and can sometimes be areas of silence, uncertainty, or tension. You might be exploring who you are, navigating a relationship that doesn’t follow mainstream norms, or simply wanting space to reflect on what feels right for you. However you identify or connect, you are welcome here.
What You Might Be Facing
You might be:
- A man feeling pressure to stay “strong” or emotionally reserved, while quietly navigating anger, shame, or loneliness.
- A woman challenging traditional roles or expectations, seeking greater connection or authenticity.
- A trans person exploring identity, transition, expression, dysphoria, or euphoria.
- Non-binary, gender-diverse, or agender, seeking language or space to reflect on your sense of self.
- Bisexual, pansexual, or queer, and finding that your experiences are often misunderstood or erased.
- Aromantic or asexual, curious about how you relate to intimacy and connection.
- In an open or polyamorous relationship, or part of a non-traditional family structure.
- Facing societal, cultural, or internal pressures that feel disconnected from who you truly are.
You may be seeking clarity, self-understanding, or space to explore without needing to justify or explain your experience.
If you are seeking support for couple or relationship therapy, you might be noticing:
Ongoing communication difficulties or frequent conflict
Feeling unseen, invalidated, or unsafe to fully express who you are within your relationship
Challenges around sex, intimacy, desire, or differing levels of comfort in sexual practices (including kink or philias)
Tension around disclosure — whether “coming out,” “inviting in,” or navigating visibility with family, friends, or community
Struggles balancing care, validation, and togetherness in daily life
Misalignment of goals, values, or identity-related needs between partners
Complexity in open or polyamorous structures, including boundaries and agreements
A wish to deepen connection, strengthen trust, and build relationships that reflect your authentic selves
How Therapy Can Support You
Therapy can offer space to reconnect with what matters to you, explore your values, and make sense of your story. Rather than pathologising or focusing on fixing, we explore alignment, flexibility, and practical steps that feel true to who you are and how you want to live.
My Approach
I work with people of all genders, sexualities, and relationship structures, including LGBTQIA+ individuals, trans and non-binary people, neurodivergent clients, and those in open relationships or non-traditional families.
Individual therapy: Drawing on ACT, CBT, and Narrative Therapy to explore identity, meaning, wellbeing, and resilience.
Couples and relationship therapy: As a trained practitioner in the My Love Your Love Couples Therapy approach, I offer structured, evidence-based support that integrates themes of trust, intimacy, desire, communication, care, validation, teamwork, and goal alignment. I also provide space for couples to navigate unique experiences such as disclosure, “inviting in” family or community, exploring diverse sexual practices (including kinks and philias), or building safe, affirming relationships that reflect who they truly are.
My work is grounded in respect, curiosity, and care. Sessions are inclusive of neurodiverse minds, and affirming of all genders, sexualities, and ways of relating.
There’s No One Way to Be You
You don’t need to fit a label or have everything figured out. Whether you’re questioning, evolving, redefining, or simply wanting a space to reflect, your experience is valid and you belong here.
You’re Invited to Reach Out
I offer sessions in person in Cronulla, outdoors in nature, or online via Telehealth, in English or Spanish. However you identify, and however you relate, this is a calm and supportive space to explore what matters to you and move forward in a way that feels aligned.
