Exploring and accepting your sexuality, especially when it involves attraction to multiple genders, can be a challenging and complex journey. It's a process that many individuals find themselves grappling with, and it can leave them feeling uncertain and isolated. You may experience…

  • Constantly questioning yourself

  • Low self-esteem

  • Fear of rejection from your family and friends

In this transformative course, "Live Authentically, Love Boldly: The Bi Way" I provide a safe and inclusive space for individuals who are struggling to understand and accept their bisexuality. With empathy and guidance, I aim to empower you on your path towards self-acceptance and self-love.

Through a series of thoughtful lessons, engaging activities, and supportive discussions, we will delve into the unique experiences and challenges faced by those exploring attraction to multiple genders. The course offers practical tools, resources, and strategies to navigate this journey with confidence and resilience.

You'll connect with a diverse community of individuals who share similar experiences, fostering a sense of belonging and understanding. Together, we'll explore topics such as self-discovery, breaking down societal barriers, and fostering self-acceptance within the bisexual community.

Join me in "Live Authentically, Love Boldly: The Bi Way" and discover the strength, resilience, and joy that comes from embracing your true self. Let me guide you towards a place of self-acceptance, empowerment, and authentic living.

Hey there! I’m Carlie.

As an experienced and accredited therapist specializing in gender, sexuality, and relationship diversity, I understand the struggles that come with exploring and accepting our own sexualities. Just like you, I have walked the path of understanding and embracing my bisexuality. Today, I stand with a deep sense of inner peace, love, and pride for who I am.

I firmly believe that the key to a fulfilling life lies in forming a profound connection and acceptance of our authentic selves. However, when confusion or shame surrounds our sexuality, it can hinder this connection and prevent us from fully embracing our true selves.

Having supported the LGBTQ+ community for over 10 years, I have aided numerous individuals in improving their relationship with their sexuality, particularly within the bi+ community. Now, expanding my practice to include a small group program, I aim to provide support to even more people and foster connections among fellow members of the bi community.

You no longer have to face this journey alone. By joining our small group program, you'll find a safe and nurturing space where you can explore your identity, share experiences, and receive guidance from someone who understands firsthand. Together, we will work towards healing, self-acceptance, and a stronger connection to the vibrant bi community.

Embrace your journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Let me guide you towards finding peace, love, and acceptance in your bisexuality, because you deserve to live a life filled with authenticity and pride.

Testimonials

  • "Carlie helped me process the complicated feelings around realising and accepting my sexuality in an extremely safe and compassionate environment. It was incredibly validating and affirming to work closely with an experienced therapist who not only offered understanding and professional support, but who also shared meaningful personal insight and was able to give a hopeful, reassuring perspective. Taking time to explore and embrace my bi-sexuality specifically and gain a sense of confidence and love around this part of my identity was an empowering decision and led to many important milestones in discovering my authentic self.

  • This is for all members of the bi, pan, queer, questioning and unlabelled community.
    This includes all genders (cis women and men, non-binary folx and trans folx), all ethnicities and cultural backgrounds.

    As a white able-bodied cis-gendered female it is my responsibility to be aware of my privilege. I strive to create inclusive spaces that feel as safe as possible for all participants including BIPOC, gender non-conforming and people with disabilities. This programme is for people who want to embrace the diversity of the bi community and who experience attraction to more than one gender.


    The course is also open to participants outside of the UK, however please be aware of time zone differences.

  • Nope! The aim of the programme is to provide you with the information and support you need to connect to your authentic self and connect to your sexuality. It is your choice what this means for you regarding labels and your personal life.

  • If you are unable to attend a live call I will send you a copy of the slides we covered. Calls will not be recorded for confidentiality purposes.
