About me
I’m Maya (she/her), a neurodivergent trans woman and integrative therapist offering online sessions for trans and gender-diverse people (13+).
I take a down-to-earth, informal approach, creating a space where you can feel truly safe, seen, and heard. My work is person-centred and relational, with a focus on inner child healing and building deep trust in the therapeutic relationship. Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you—it’s about exploring, understanding, and making space for all parts of you. Sessions are online, so you can access support wherever you are, at a pace that works for you. I also offer in-person sessions in Central Taunton for those local to the area.
A session with me is shaped around what works best for you. It might be talk-based and conversational, or we might explore inner child work, CBT worksheets, or online sand tray therapy. Some people find it hard to open up at first, and that’s okay—we can use the chat bar or work in a way that feels more comfortable. If you experience dysphoria or just prefer not to be on camera, that’s completely fine too. My aim is to create a space where you can explore, process, and heal at your own pace, with no pressure or judgment.

Anxiety and Depression

Training, qualifications & experience
I’ve spent over 20 years working with LGBTQIA+ people, young people, and neurodivergent individuals, co-founding Proud2Be, a grassroots LGBTQIA+ organisation that supports hundreds of people each year. Alongside my therapy practice, I’ve worked in community development, safeguarding, and activism, always focusing on creating safe, affirming spaces.
I earned my Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling in 2019 after completing a three-year programme at Devon Counselling College. I have also undertaken comprehensive training in safeguarding, sexual health, mental health, anti-racism practice, and LGBTQIA+ awareness.
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.
