Empowering LGBTQIA+ Mental Health
ABOUT QUEER SPACESQueer Spaces is a collective of artists and psychotherapists run by Dr Guy Harries, Yasmeen Brett & Katie Merritt, committed to providing a safe space for the queer community to engage in the therapeutic process. We believe that the greatest empowerment a person can experience is through the processing of our journeys, healing past wounds, and the valuable insight provided, as well as individually developing emotional articulation and self-expression. We currently offer our signature wellbeing workshops and from 2025 we will be offering online one-to-one therpay for members of the community, fostering mutual support and belonging.
Creative Wellbeing Workshops
Community Artwork entitled ‘An Ecology of Queerness’
These exciting in-person events are all about celebrating and exploring queer love. Boosting wellbeing through creativity and connection in our pioneering new workshop for the LGBTQ+ community.
Join us to create a love letter to your beloved ones (a friend, a lover, a family member, a pet or yourself!) through written and spoken word, visual art, sound or movement.
The workshop is led by creative artists and trainee psychotherapists Guy Harries, Katie Merritt and Yasmeen Brett. Supervised by Dr Nikolaos Souvlakis (University of Westminster).
“One of the most powerful aspects of the workshop is its emphasis on authenticity and self-expression. You will be encouraged to explore your identity (-ies), desires, and emotions in ways that many of us never considered before. Through guided prompts and exercises, you delve deep into your narratives, crafting letters that are not just about expressing love but also reclaiming our narratives as queer individuals.”
