I am Shae (they/them),
a Queer Sex & Relationship Therapist working with LGBTQIA+ individuals and partners

You are the expert in your life - I am here to help you be curious about it.

Sex and/or relationship therapy is never JUST about sex. To make sustainable change we need to look deeper. As LGBTQIA+ people that can be really hard and scary to unpack. This is why, together, we can choose a pace that works for you. I can help you understand the parts that make you - YOU - reducing shame and increasing connection with yourself and others.

I work in a way that looks at the whole picture and doesn’t pathologise your identity, but will also challenge patterns and behaviours that are not serving you. I don’t make judgements or assumptions. I do my best to meet you where you are at - never assuming where you should be. And if something is not working for you, we re-evaluate and change gears.

What we can work on together (any combination of the below!)
