Background

About Dhiren Doshi-Smith

I’m a Queer, Neurodivergent POC Therapeutic Counsellor, Writer and Public Speaker passionate about creating safe, affirming spaces for LGBTQIA+ and POC communities. My journey into therapy was deeply personal, shaped by lived experiences of identity, loss and mental health struggles, which fuelled my commitment to supporting others in finding healing, self-acceptance and authenticity. Before training as a counsellor, I worked in IT and business but I realised my true calling was helping people move toward empowerment and congruence. Today, I specialise in LGBTQIA+ and POC mental health, combining professional expertise with lived experience to create meaningful change. Beyond the therapy room, I amplify conversations around Queer POC mental health, neurodiversity and masculinity, whether through public speaking, writing, modelling or social media advocacy. I believe mental health support should be inclusive, affirming and accessible. If that resonates with you, let’s connect.
