At Food for Thought Therapy, I am committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and affirming therapeutic environment for all clients. Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) is at the heart of my practice, recognising and valuing each individual’s unique identity, experiences, and needs.
What EDI Means in Therapy
EDI in mental health care ensures that therapy is accessible, respectful, and responsive to people from all backgrounds, identities, and abilities. It’s about more than awareness, it’s about actively addressing systemic barriers, cultural differences, and individual experiences that may impact your mental health journey.
Supporting LGBTQI+ Clients
As a Psychotherapist, I work inclusively with LGBTQI+ individuals, creating a space where your sexual orientation, gender identity, and expression are fully respected and understood. I understand the unique challenges and pressures that LGBTQI+ people may face and aim to provide supportive, affirming therapy that validates your experiences while fostering growth, resilience, and self-acceptance.
Working with Neurodivergence
I also have experience supporting neurodivergent clients, including those with ADHD, autism spectrum conditions, dyslexia, and other cognitive differences. Therapy can be tailored to your way of thinking, processing, and communicating, ensuring interventions like CBT, Schema Therapy, EMDR, or Integrative approaches are accessible and effective. My goal is to adapt therapeutic methods to your unique neurodivergent profile rather than expecting you to conform to traditional frameworks.
My Approach
I integrate multiple modalities, including CBT, Schema Therapy, EMDR, and Integrative Psychotherapy, to meet your specific needs. Therapy is collaborative and flexible, allowing you to explore your mental health in ways that feel safe, empowering, and attuned to your identity.
Everyone deserves a space where they are seen, heard, and valued. My commitment to EDI ensures that therapy is not only clinically effective but also genuinely inclusive, affirming, and compassionate.
You Are Welcome Here
No matter your background, identity, or way of thinking, this is a space where you are truly seen, heard, and valued. Your mental health journey matters, and together, we can make it meaningful.
