Therapy offered by:
Ami Robertson
Trauma-Informed Somatic Therapist & Movement Facilitator
LGBTQIA+ Identity & Belonging Therapy
LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy for individuals navigating identity, belonging, relationships and trauma, helping you reconnect with your body, nervous system and authentic sense of self.
Who Its For
LGBTQIA+ people exploring identity, sexuality, relationships or belonging; those experiencing minority stress, disconnection, trauma or difficulty feeling fully themselves.
What To Expect
Ami offers LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy grounded in both professional expertise and lived experience as a queer, non binary and neurodivergent person. Sessions offer space to explore identity, belonging, relationships and trauma without having to explain, minimise or hide parts of who you are.
Through trauma informed somatic therapy, relational and movement based approaches, you can explore how experiences of masking, people pleasing, disconnection or not feeling fully accepted may be held within your body and nervous system.
The work is not about fitting yourself into another version of who you think you should be. It is about reconnecting with all parts of yourself and building a more authentic, embodied sense of identity and belonging.
Sessions with Ami go beyond talking and insight alone. Their neurodivergent affirming, trauma informed approach brings together talking therapy, somatic therapy and movement based practices, creating space to explore what is happening not only in your thoughts, but within your body and nervous system too.
Rather than following a rigid therapeutic model, Ami works relationally and collaboratively, adapting sessions to your communication style, sensory needs and the way you experience and process the world. Together, you may explore emotions, body sensations, breath, movement and nervous system responses, alongside the experiences and patterns shaping your life.
This can be particularly supportive if you have tried more traditional or less relational forms of therapy, understand your patterns intellectually, but still feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected or unable to create lasting change.
The work moves at your pace. Over time, Ami supports you to develop greater nervous system regulation, self understanding and capacity for emotion, while building a deeper and more compassionate relationship with yourself and your body.
