Usman Gul
Usman offers a culturally sensitive, affirming space with a particular focus on individuals from marginalised and underrepresented communities. He is an LGBTQ+ and gender affirmative trainee therapist, committed to creating an environment where clients can explore identity and personal challenges without fear of judgement.
He recognises that identity, discrimination, and social inequality can deeply shape emotional wellbeing, and works collaboratively with clients to explore these complexities with care and respect. Usman has a strong commitment to intersectionality and honours each client’s cultural, social, and personal context in his practice.
As an integrative trainee therapist, Usman draws on a range of therapeutic approaches to meet each client’s unique needs, adapting his practice to suit the individual rather than applying a fixed model. His work incorporates mindfulness as a tool for self-awareness and emotional regulation.
Alongside his clinical training, Usman works as a Support Worker in a Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit, giving him direct experience of acute mental health presentations and a grounded understanding of the challenges clients may bring to therapy.
Currently completing an MSc in Psychotherapy, Usman is a registered student member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and works in accordance with its ethical guidelines.
Usman offers sessions in English, Urdu, and Punjabi, making therapy more accessible to clients from diverse linguistic backgrounds.
