Thalia Koulas (She/they)Counsellor

Thalia works primarily with LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent people, especially those navigating autism, ADHD, gender diversity, sexual diversity, and complex trauma. They’ve got experience supporting people 14 and up, though most of their work is with 18–35-year-olds. Whether you’re deep into your queer journey, just starting to wonder if you might be autistic, or anywhere in between, Thalia’s here for it. They’re particularly passionate about working with neurodivergent women, neurodivergent trans and gender-diverse people, and the broader LGBTQIA+ community. Thalia is not suitable for anyone seeking Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). What people appreciate most about Thalia is how real and intentional they are. Sessions aren’t about ticking boxes or following a rigid structure—they’re about what actually matters to you. You’re encouraged to show up exactly as you are, and if that means needing breaks, stimming, or any other accommodations, that’s totally fine. Thalia will probably be sipping a coffee and fiddling with a fidget toy while you chat. As a queer AuDHDer, Thalia brings a mix of lived experience and practical strategies into their work. They know that exploring mental health can be messy and overwhelming, so they do their best to make sessions feel safe, collaborative, and empowering. Their approach is shaped by Liberation Psychology, Mad Pride, and Compassion-Focused Therapy — frameworks that challenge stigma and centre your lived reality. Outside of sessions, Thalia loves video games, reality TV, and live music. They sometimes cook (with mixed success), enjoy a good pub trivia night, and listen to everything from metal to jazz to rap to pop. They’re also big on Japanese food, comedy shows, drinking coffee, cats, and going to the gym. Most of all, they love spending time with their close friends and partner.
