I'm a writer, therapist & counsellor and divide my time between Sweden and Australia.
As a therapist and counsellor, most of my work is with gay & bi men on issues such as gay sexuality, coming out, depression, loss of direction, alcohol and drug problems,childhood sexual abuse, loneliness and relationship difficulties.
I'm interested in the way people respond to the challenges and setbacks of their lives and the hopes and dreams that give them the strength to continue.
Currently my practice is based online which means I can provide anonymous and confidential 'talk therapy' through Skype voice, instant chat and exchanging emails. A lot of people prefer to see a counsellor this way because it means they can remain anonymous and they don't have to spend time travelling to the therapist's office.
Here's my website:

I also write fiction and a lot of my stories are about life for gay & queer folk. Stories and documentation are important to me. You can read some of my award-winning or published stories here:

I read a lot and I am always interested in hearing about publishing opportunities. I love arthouse cinema, live performance, swimming, yoga and spending time with my partner. Currently I am writing a non-fiction book about sexual abuse at a school.
