“Working with Bima has been amazing. They are so comforting and assuring and they gave me the resources I need to continue to find myself outside of therapy! It was very important to me to find a queer therapist, or one who is knowledgeable in queer issues, and Bima is exactly that and very accepting. I came to therapy looking to "fix" myself but ended it accepting myself. Bima helped me not only with sex and relationships, but in my everyday life. I was very nervous to start therapy, and felt my issues were not enough, but Bima made me feel very comfortable and that my trauma is valid. I felt I could talk about things I wouldn't with anyone else. I did not have a plan for therapy, or any idea how I could help myself, and Bima guided me on my journey. I cannot thank them enough for how much they have helped me, and will continue to help me with the things they have taught me.”

“Working with Bima has been an incredible experience. I came to therapy for an issue I have struggled with for as long as I can remember, which over the years had become increasingly linked to shame owing to strict cultural norms, and multiple dismissive responses from many healthcare professionals. So when starting therapy, I was fearful of having my problems minimised and hopeless that my difficulties could improve. However, my experience with Bima could not have been more different – Bima made me feel safe and heard, and they created a space in which I was able to speak about the most shameful and painful parts of myself and my past, free of judgement and full of compassion and curiosity. Throughout my work with Bima, they skilfully helped me to become more aware of the assumptions that were holding my sexual difficulties stuck, of how my relationship to my body contributed to these difficulties, and most importantly, helped me challenge these critical beliefs and assumptions so I could grow in confidence and become more accepting of myself. I left every session with a new understanding of myself, my sexuality, my body and my relationship, as well as with skills and tools to help build up my self-confidence and break out of the cycles that kept my problems going. I feel more informed and empowered than I ever imagined I could following my work with Bima, and I cannot thank you enough for all your care and support.”

“I started my sessions with Bima with a focus on overcoming PE but quickly discovered the benefits of talking about my relationship with my wife in a much broader sense. This is credit to Bima who was able to make me feel comfortable discussing sensitive issues and encouraged me to reflect on my own actions and its impact on those I love. I’m much more emotionally aware and empathetic than I was before counselling and I thank Bima for finding the right balance of when to support me and when to challenge me.”

“ Every session I had with Bima I left feeling empowered, reassured, heard, and cared about. I approached Bima with issues I had been struggling with for my entire adult life that filled me with incredible shame and turmoil and I was met with nothing but reassurance and kindness, void of any judgement. Bima helped me develop the skills I needed to face these issues head-on and win. Often, I look back on our sessions and credit them with being integral to the confidence I now proudly inhabit. Bima supported me with my difficulties with sex, intimacy, and shame, and helped me learn that I deserve to be a happy, healthy, self-loving sexual being. As a trans person, it was so important for me to speak to someone who understands the queer experience and has worked with other queer clients. I felt I could open up in ways I otherwise wouldn't have been able to. I cannot recommend their services enough. Thank you, Bima, for all your wonderful support.”
