It’s time we let your true colours shine.

Therapy. From Queer to Queer.

Being a member of the LGBTQIAP+ community myself, I have a vested interest and vast experience in serving the community. In our sessions you will find yourself in a comfortable and safe environment where you are seen, where you are heard, where you are respected and celebrated — not despite of your sexual and gender identity but absolutely and 100% because.

Therapy & Coaching for the LGBTQIAP+ Community.

Mental Health and Emotional Wellbeing are important to everyone.

Yet, in addition to general topics for therapy, the queer community is disproportionally affected by a number of issues unique to the LGBTQIAP+ experience. As an LGBTQIAP-affirming therapist and activist, I have extensive experience and expertise working with these themes. My own identity as a member of the community helps me provide a safe and trusting environment and a deep connection to your personal growth and transformation.

Each conversation is approached with respect, vulnerability and curiosity as I’m perpetually learning from you.

LGBTQIAP+ Testimonials

“The session with Manuel allowed me to let go of so much baggage I was holding on to, things that were holding me back in life. It's been about a month now and I've made huge progress with Manuel's help. I am so thankful for the freedom he has given to me.“

— Colin, Eating Disorder

“Thank you for helping me come out to my family, the biggest step in my life! I would not have been able to do that without your unwavering support and I will be forever grateful.“

— Lia, Self-Acceptance

“Thank you for making me smile again (and often laugh out loud) every single day.“

— Vaishnavi, Social Anxiety

“Where to start… thank you! You helped me right when I needed help most and you have been extremely supportive through a difficult time that impacted me personally and professionally. Thank you for caring, for thinking of me, for continuously checking-in, for taking the time to be kind and for supporting me wholeheartedly. Your support has made me a stronger person and the role you played in this period was invaluable. Words cannot adequately express my appreciation and gratitude. Your support is the reason I did not give up.“

— Robert, Grief

“Every day I come to work, I know it’s a place full of cheer and fun, a place where I have the permission to 100% be myself, where I will be showered with empowering praise and where I can grow in a safe place. Manuel constantly reminds me of what makes me valuable, he makes me feel like a superstar and it means a lot to me.“

— Ekaterina, Self-Confidence

“Manuel made me feel completely un-judged, safe, and validated in sharing my story with him and after only one 90 minute session I noticed that gradually but assuredly, my cravings and desires to drink so much were waning. I have since cut my alcohol consumption down to a nominal fraction of what it once was.“

— Kelly-Marie, Alcohol Addiction

I grew up in a tiny rural mountain village with no openly gay man to be found for miles. My family was Roman-Catholic with church on Sundays and grace before meals. The concept of man and woman, boyfriend and girlfriend, husband and wife was never questioned or up for debate.
I wish I had a role model to guide me through my journey, from self-discovery to self-love. A companion, be it a neighbour, teacher, uncle, TV character. Anyone really.
No matter your age or life stage, your relationship status or background, exploring and delving into your own romantic, sexual and gender identity can feel daunting.
LGBTQIAP+. There are so many letters in an ever-expanding acronym and you may feel overwhelmed trying to find a place and community where you feel like you belong.
Allow me to become part of your support system.
