For a more meaningful life
I welcome working with diversity and difference in whatever shape or form it comes.
Meet Iulian
Life has a habit of bringing dilemmas, difficulties and struggles within our path. It is just human to respond with hurt, shame, anxiety or by feeling lost, stuck and depressed. Psychotherapy can help you make sense of them and move forward. For this, I provide a safe, engaging, and supportive space for you to explore any issue that is troubling you. The ultimate goal would be to help you create a more meaningful life and new ways of approaching your relationship with yourself and others.
​
I am a UKCP registered Existential Psychotherapist, and I graduated with a professional doctorate in Existential Psychoterapy from NSPC, London. My research on crossdressing delves into issues such as power, history, sexuality, gender, identity and their connection with existential themes such as being, (in)authenticity, (lack of) freedom and meaning. This is also mirrored within my private practice, where I usually work with people at the intersection between gender, sexuality, neurodiversity, race/ethnicity, social class, faith and (dis)ability and the social, personal and political context people find themselves in.​​
Areas of expertise
I offer psychotherapy for a wide range of life issues including anxiety, depression, loss and bereavement, relationship and family issues, loneliness and low self-esteem. I frequently work with people who find themselves at the intersection between gender, sexuality, neurodiversity, race/ethnicity, social class, faith and (dis)ability, and the social, personal, economic and political context they may find themselves in.
Anxiety & Depression
We are often left struggling to find meaning and connection, feeling isolated, anxious and depressed as a result. Psychotherapy can help you understand your feelings and what causes them alongside the behaviours and ideas that contribute to how you feel. Through therapy you can find out which aspects of those problems you may be able to improve in order to regain a sense of control over your life.
LGBTQAI+
Wherever you are on the LGBTQAI+ spectrum, or at the margins of it, you will be welcomed and accepted as you are. I use gender-affirming approaches tailored to your needs, whether that is for healing, growth, self-acceptance or change. I am open to working with non-monogamy, polyamory, Kink, BDSM, sex-work, chemsex, HIV, public cruising, asexuality and celibacy.
Family & Relationships
Being with others is a fundamental constituent of human existence, yet having meaningful relationships with family, friends and in the workplace is not a given, as they require time and effort to start and maintain them. Here, you will have an open space to gain a better understanding of yourself, of your relational problems, and of the problems and issues that are affecting your relationships.
From transvestite to non-binary
Wherever you are on your journey, I aim to offer you a place of acceptance and empowerment to express yourself, a place where you will be heard and listened to.​ I welcome working with clients pre/post or questioning transition, self-identified crossdressers and non-binary, and any other non-Western forms of self-identification.
Neurodivergence
Whether we identify as neurodivergent or not, there are a multitude of struggles surrounding fitting in within the normative and neurotypical ways of being that can be expressed, explored and worked on. The therapy hour will be adapted to your sensory needs and processing style. The ultimate therapeutic goal will be to empower you to create a life that aligns with your authentic self.
Intersectionality
Bodies are not only gendered, but also racialised, colonised, ageing, disabled and classed bodies as well, bodies that are affected by multiple and intersecting systems of normativity, power and domination. I aim to offer a safe space where you can unpack your feelings, your dilemmas and make sense of your experiences.
