Ro Brown

I am available for sessions daytimes, Mon-Thurs.

Hi, I’m Ro (they/them), a Â鶹ԭ´´-registered counsellor offering online therapy to adults across the UK. I aim to create a therapeutic relationship that feels steady and safe enough for you to bring more of yourself into the room, including the parts that feel vulnerable, conflicted, or uncertain.

You might be experiencing anxiety in relationships, struggling with attachment patterns, or noticing that certain relational dynamics keep repeating despite your best efforts to change them. Relationship difficulties, identity questions and the impact of trauma can shape how secure and connected you feel, both with others and with yourself.

Therapy offers a space to slow down and understand what is happening beneath the surface. Many of the challenges we experience in adulthood are shaped by early relationships, cultural narratives and protective strategies that once made sense. In the safety of a consistent therapeutic relationship, we can begin to explore these patterns and experiment with new, more secure ways of relating.

I am queer, genderfluid and sex-positive, with many years’ experience within LGBTQIA+ communities and diverse relationship structures, including ethical non-monogamy (ENM) and polyamory. I understand both the joy and the complexity that can come with questioning conventional scripts about love, gender and partnership. While many of my clients are LGBTQIA+ or exploring non-monogamy, you do not need to share these identities to work with me.

I also work with neurodivergent adults, including those with ADHD and autism, particularly where this intersects with identity, intimacy and relationships.

My approach is integrative, drawing from psychodynamic, humanistic and transpersonal traditions. I am trained in Psychosynthesis, which considers both your history and your potential: exploring how past experiences, attachment patterns and trauma may be influencing your life now, while also supporting the development of meaning, agency and emotional regulation.

In practice, this may involve exploring early relational experiences, understanding anxiety or self-critical patterns, and developing greater clarity around boundaries, communication, and intimacy. While we may work with practical tools, the focus is on sustainable change rather than short-term symptom management.

Psychosynthesis also recognises that many people experience a need for connection to something larger than themselves, whether through creativity, community, nature, spirituality or a sense of purpose. If this is relevant to you, we can include it in our work in a grounded and respectful way.

Before training as a therapist, I qualified in relationship and intimacy coaching within a closely related approach. This background informs my understanding of communication, consent and embodied experience in relationships.

I usually offer 50-minute sessions on a weekly, open-ended basis. I aim to work collaboratively and flexibly, and we can discuss what frequency and structure best support your needs.

I offer a free 15 minute phone or video call so that we can say hello and explore any questions you may have about therapy or the way I work. This gives you a chance to get a sense of whether you feel comfortable speaking with me.

If you decide to go ahead, I will send a short info sheet and intake form before we book an initial session.

In our first full session, we will explore what has brought you to therapy and what feels most pressing. I may ask about your history, including early relationships and significant life experiences, to begin building a fuller picture of your situation. Together, we can identify themes or areas you would like to focus on.

After this session, you are free to take time to decide whether you would like to continue. If you choose to do so, we will begin our ongoing work together.
