About me
I'm Maya Price, an integrative therapist offering online therapy (UK & globally). I work primarily with LGBTQ+ and trans/gender-diverse adults, neurodivergent folks, sex workers, and those navigating kink, BDSM, or alternative relationship structures.
My practice is specifically designed for adults looking for longer-term, relational therapy. We will move beyond quick coping strategies to gently explore the deeper emotional patterns, nervous system responses, attachment experiences, and protective parts that shape how you move through the world.
I'm a trans woman and neurodivergent (AuDHD) therapist with over 20 years of experience supporting LGBTQ+ communities, sex workers, and folks in alternative intimate spaces. Alongside formal training, I bring deeply lived understanding to my work with transition, sex work, masking, sensory burnout, and rebuilding life after long periods of survival.
My approach is warm, relational, anti-oppressive and trauma-informed. I integrate somatic awareness, parts work, Transactional Analysis, and inner child work. I offer a non-pathologising space where you don't need to filter your identity, educate me, or hide your life.
You don't need to educate me, filter your life, or explain basic terminology. I offer a non-pathologising, culturally informed space for current and former sex workers, as well as folks exploring kink, non-monogamy, or sex-positive themes, to navigate occupational stress, boundaries, identity, or trauma on your own terms.
Many of the people I work with are used to over-functioning, people-pleasing, chronic masking, sensory burnout, harsh self-criticism, intense emotional overwhelm and/or feeling completely disconnected from themselves.
When you have been surviving for a long time, rest, safety, and self-trust can feel entirely unfamiliar. Therapy can become a dedicated space to finally slow down, breathe, and understand your experiences more deeply and compassionately.
Areas I commonly support include: Complex trauma (CPTSD), identity & transition, anxiety, OCD & intrusive thoughts, burnout & nervous system exhaustion, shame, attachment patterns, boundaries, grief, neurodivergence, sex work, kink/BDSM, non-monogamy, and sex-positive/somatic exploration.
Together, we move beyond quick fixes to explore the deeper patterns that shape how you move through the world.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
