Trans and Gender-Diverse Folks

Therapy for Trans & Gender-Diverse Adults

This therapy space isn’t just LGBTQIA+ friendly. It’s built with gender-diverse people in mind. Whether you're trans, non-binary, gender-questioning, or somewhere else entirely, you're welcome to show up exactly as you are. No masking, no shrinking, no over-explaining yourself required.

I’m warm, neurodivergent-friendly, deeply affirming, and maybe a little too enthusiastic about the metaphors I use in session. (If you want to talk about gender as a collage, a second puberty, or an RPG character build, I’m game.)

If your trans experience doesn’t look like anyone else’s, that’s not a problem, that’s the point. You don’t have to come in with a script. Whether you’re loud and proud, quiet and questioning, angry, tender, hilarious, or just really, really tired, I’ll meet you where you are.

Who I Work With

I work with trans and gender-diverse adults navigating:

  • Gender exploration and identity questions

  • Coming out at any age (yep, even 30s, 40s, or later — it’s never too late)

  • Social and/or medical transition support

  • Dysphoria (gendered, social, somatic — all kinds)

  • Intersectional experiences (race, disability, neurodivergence, trauma)

  • Navigating family relationships and boundaries

  • Deconstructing internalised transphobia

  • Being nonbinary in a binary world (or just being trans in a very loud cis world)

  • Grief, joy, and weird in-between feelings during transition

  • Wanting to not talk about gender all the time, and just exist

  • Dating while trans (the good, the bad, the absolutely bizarre)

  • “Do I need to know everything about myself already?” (spoiler: no.)

Whether you're newly out or long out, binary or not, looking to talk about gender a lot or only sometimes — we’ll work in a way that centres your needs.

Some of What We Might Explore in Therapy

  • How to build a life that’s yours, not just “survivable”

  • What gender actually feels like in your body, not just what you were told it should be

  • Grief, joy, euphoria, rage, and how messy and beautiful they all are

  • Navigating medical stuff (if that’s part of your journey) with less shame and more self-trust

  • Untangling internalised transphobia, perfectionism, or people-pleasing

  • Finding joy in expression, pronouns, and presentation, not just surviving the system

  • Unpacking the “okay I’m out... now what?” moments

  • Choosing your own definition of freedom, softness, strength, and visibility

Some people come to explore identity. Others come because of anxiety, OCD, burnout, or disordered eating. I don’t assume your gender is the problem. But if it’s part of the story, we’ll hold that with care. We can also just talk about your day, your cat, or how weirdly gendered stationery is.

 FAQs

  • Nope. You don’t need a formal diagnosis or referral to work with me. You’re the expert on your own identity.

  • Absolutely. Questioning, exploring, and not-knowing are all welcome here.

  • Yes. And if I slip up, I’ll take responsibility, correct myself, and move on — no drama, no awkward over-apologising.

  • Only if you want to. Therapy is led by you. Some clients want to focus on gender, others on things like trauma, burnout, or mental health more broadly.

  • Yes. I affirm all identities and offer an inclusive, respectful space regardless of where you fall in the gender universe.

  • Yes, I offer online therapy for people across Queensland and other parts of Australia, depending on your location and needs.
