Tommy Silvester, Psychotherapist

I work with adults and minority groups, individuals, couples, and relationships and have worked with young adults 15-17 years. Although I work with individuals of all identities, I have extensive experience working with men and gay relationships, but I also work with clients who identify as female, transgender and non-binary. My aim is to create an inclusive and supportive environment for everyone, regardless of their gender or sexual orientation.

I became a therapist because of my own experiences in life, particularly centred around accepting my queer identity. I’m from the Black Country area and have a deep love for animals. I share my home with both cats and dogs. Additionally, I have a passion for music and identify with the alternative community. I have firsthand experiences of what it is like to be not seen, but therapy really did help me on my own journey, and I am here 12 years on.
