Person-Centred Therapy & Supervision for queer and neurodivergent people

My name is Francis (he/they). I am a queer, trans, disabled, neurodivergent therapist based near Edinburgh. I offer online and telephone person-centred therapy and supervision informed by anti-oppressive practices such as the neurodiversity paradigm, intersectional feminism and disability justice.

My work is relational and trauma-informed. I support people with a range of common issues such as depression, anxiety, stress, work-place bullying, mental health issues, childhood trauma, chronic illness, self-esteem and issues with identity.

I am also experienced in areas considered more specialist such as:

Neurodivergence (including autism/ADHD/AuDHD, RSD, PDA, burnout, late diagnosis)

Disability, chronic health conditions, ME/CFS

Gender, sexuality, trans and non-binary identity, relationship diversity (polyamory, relationship anarchy, kink)

Non-diet and fat-positive approaches to food and body image – intuitive eating/health at every size

Complex/traumatic bereavements such as suicide, unexpected loss and multiple bereavements.

I offer single session, short-term and long-term therapy and I am very flexible in terms of commitment.

I have a lot of experience and enjoy working with other therapists and trainees.

I charge £50 for 60 minutes for therapy and supervision.

I do not work with couples, under 16’s, and I don’t work with people in the Edinburgh area to maintain boundaries.

I do my best to make sure you feel safe and supported so you can feel comfortable to share your personal information. You don’t have to talk about anything that you don’t want to. Particularly in first sessions you may need to get used to me and find out whether you feel safe to share sensitive issues, and I respect this. I offer a combination of deep supportive listening and therapy, as well as giving you information that might support your wellbeing such as advice around mental health.

Finding the right therapist can be difficult, particularly for people with minority identities and is often about finding the right ‘fit’ of traits and personality in addition to qualifications. I understand how important this is so if my profile appeals then please get in touch. I am happy to answer any questions you may have either about person-centred counselling generally or what I can offer. I offer a free informal telephone/video consultation so you can find out more.

Please make your initial enquiry by email or text message – due to my working hours and access needs I cannot guarantee to answer phonecalls or voicemails.
