About Us
At Theia Therapy, we aim to provide the highest standards of counselling and psychotherapy, led by the cornerstones of our practice. These are:
EMPATHY - unconditional respect, care, and understanding for each client
EQUALITY - everyone is welcome, regardless of race, religion, ability, sexuality, or gender
CURIOSITY - each session is led by professional and human curiosity about you, your story, and your background, and what we can do together to help
We are committed to providing the best of affirming care to LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent clients; as such, we regularly attend conferencing and training to stay up-to-date on the latest developments

Why Theia Therapy?
Theia is the Greek Titan goddess of sight. She is known for instilling inner luminescence in precious stones and metals, and is the mother of the sun, moon, and dawn. Can she help you find your inner light?
Who does this suit?
Integrative, psychodynamic therapy is fully customised, so it suits almost everyone. An ideal client presentation for us would be a person of any gender or age, but particularly gender diverse 20-30 year olds with a creative streak, who may be questioning their identity, gender, sexuality, or relationships. Couples and relationship counselling specific to LGBTQ+ folk is one of our specialities here.
