Hello, I’m Carole (they/them) and I’m an LGBTQ+ coaching psychologist and co-founder of the Psychological Society of Inclusive and Queer Communities (PSIQC). I appreciate that none of that actually tells you much about who I am or what I do, so let’s start there.

I work with people who are LGBTQIA+, polyamorous, ethically or consensually non-monogamous, relationship anarchists and kinky/into BDSM. They are unhappy with one or more aspects of their lives and ready to make some positive changes, even if they don’t know what those changes might be.

They may be:

• Burntout,

• Feeling like they’re buried by the demands of life and like they’ve lost the spark for life,

• Struggling with stress,

• Unsure about their identity,

• Feeling like they don’t know themselves,

• Wrestling with self critical thoughts and a lack of self acceptance,

• Dealing with gender dysphoria,

• Unsure about coming out to people,

• Facing some tough reactions from others,

• Wanting some support in adopting a new relationship structure or philosophy towards relationships,

• Struggling with insecurities,

• Experiencing difficult emotions like jealousy, anger and resentment.

What all of the people I work with have in common is a desire for things to be different and a commitment to making that happen.

When you choose to work with me you get support with your mental health and wider personal development that is 100% personalised, anti-oppressive, takes intersectionality into account and is tailored to your own specific circumstances and needs. I can help you to find some space to breathe again, understand what’s happening in a compassionate way, find a way of working with yourself rather than continuously fighting against yourself and to gain stability in your relationships with others and yourself. I will pay attention to you as a whole, complete person while we do this important work together. You are more than your struggles and you absolutely can have a better, happier, healthier life.
