Psychotherapy with Ly
I’m Ly (they/them), a qualified Integrative Psychotherapist and Environmental Arts Therapist based in Brighton & Hove. I work with adolescents and adults, offering in-person psychotherapy, nature-based sessions in Stanmer Park, and limited online spaces. My practice centres safety, creativity, and connection—especially for those navigating trauma, identity, and emotional overwhelm.
I offer a supportive and affirming space where you can explore your experience at your own pace, in ways that feel right for you. Whether you’re seeking clarity, stability, integration, or a deeper sense of self, I’m here to walk alongside you.
How I Work
Everyone’s journey is unique. Some people find relief in speaking openly, while others connect more through movement, image-making, or simply being in nature. I draw from somatic, creative, and trauma-informed approaches that support nervous system regulation and emotional resilience. In our sessions, we may work with natural materials, art, clay, storytelling, writing, or embodied awareness—whatever best supports your process. Outdoor therapy in Stanmer Park offers an especially grounding space, where the natural environment can help us reconnect with our bodies, identities, and sense of self in gentle, intuitive ways.
This work is especially supportive for those who find traditional talk therapy limiting, including neurodivergent individuals, trauma survivors, and those in times of transition or self-discovery.
Areas I Work With
I have extensive experience supporting individuals in the NHS and private practice with a wide range of mental health difficulties, including:
- Trauma & complex PTSD
- Anxiety & panic
- Depression & low mood
- Disordered eating & body image
- Identity, gender & sexuality exploration
- Gender transition
- Neurodivergence (including ADHD & autism)

- Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD/EUPD)
- Chronic illness & disability
- Life transitions, grief, and loss
My Background
Over the past decade, I’ve worked across the NHS, schools, charities, and private practice. I’ve held senior roles in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) and adult mental health, providing therapy to individuals with complex emotional and relational needs.
My practice is grounded in a deep commitment to inclusivity and justice. I am GSRD-informed (Gender, Sexuality & Relationship Diversity), kink-aware, and experienced in working with LGBTQIA+ clients, refugees, and people from diverse cultural, relational, and embodied experiences.
