Being deeply heard can change the way you hear yourself.
There is something profoundly restorative about telling the truth in the presence of someone who isn’t trying to fix, rush, or judge you. To simply be met exactly where you are, without needing to perform or explain yourself. Many of us move through life without ever experiencing that.
Deep Talk offers a one-on-one space where your experience can unfold at its own pace through attentive presence, deep listening, and honest reflection. As we slow down together, what once felt tangled often becomes clearer.
Clients often come to explore emotions, relationships, identity, sexuality, spirituality, major life changes, or simply because they long to be deeply heard.
All of you and your truth are welcome. Let us explore the mystery of your experience together, with curiosity and care.
I hold particular care and familiarity in working with gay men, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and those questioning. A space to speak honestly about sexuality, trauma, shame, relationships, intimacy, loneliness, belonging, and identity without performance or judgement. For many, these sessions offer a rare opportunity to speak openly about experiences that have long remained unspoken.
What I value
I believe attention is one of the greatest gifts we can offer another person. Real listening asks us to slow down, make room for silence, and become curious rather than certain.
My role is not to diagnose or rescue you, but to meet you with presence, honesty, and care, creating the conditions in which you can hear yourself more clearly.
When invited, I may offer reflections, gentle challenges, observations, or support in recognising patterns and blind spots. You remain sovereign throughout the process.
Clients often come to explore:
If appropriate, I can also refer you to trusted practitioners and complementary modalities.
My approach is grounded in lived practice within tantra, Kashmiri Shaivism, sacred sexuality, mysticism, animism, shamanism, lila’ngoma, nervous system regulation, and plant medicine.

I also offer Sacred Touch for Men, Women & Genderqueers. See my other offering listed on the Solo Portal.

9 Feb 26 at 20:35I entered my first deep talk session with Simba on a day on which I was struggling. By the end of the session I felt connected and at ease. It was indeed a non judgmental and safe space to share. I look forward to additional sessions with Simba and recommend the space that he holds for queer folk.
