I launched Nested Heart Counselling in 2013 in response to calls from within the local polyamorous community for mental health support that didn’t require further education about unconventional identities. It’s always been important to me to shout my acceptance for unconventionality from the rooftops, rather than hope word would travel underground in a way that perpetuates stigma. Even with this philosophy, it took time for me to proudly display my body modifications - now clients tell me all the time that this kind of bravery is part of the reason they show up in the first place! It would be hypocritical of me to encourage you to live authentically and not arrive in session doing so myself.

I'm thrilled that I’m not the only one who wants to bring this ethos to their practice and have gathered similarly passionate colleagues together for you to discover on this website. Relationship is a huge part of counselling going well, so take your time to find the right fit and let me know if you’d like to be matched. I wish you the best on your healing journey and am so grateful for your trust.
