Maya Price – Trans & Neurodivergent (AuDHD) Therapist

Maya Price is a BACP-registered therapist who works only online, with adults who want longer-term weekly therapy and who have often found conventional counselling a poor fit. Her clients are mainly trans people and the wider LGBTQ+ community, neurodivergent adults, sex workers and people in kink, BDSM or non-monogamous relationships — people who frequently arrive having spent earlier therapy leaving parts of their lives outside the room. She describes her work as relational, somatic and psychodynamic, and she does not present herself as a blank slate.

Her practice is shaped by her own life: she is a trans woman nearly a decade into transition, is AuDHD, has OCD and has lived experience of sex work. In sessions she draws on relational therapy, where what happens between therapist and client becomes part of the work; somatic and polyvagal approaches, which slow things down to notice where stress and survival habits sit in the body; parts and inner-child work; and a psychodynamic, anti-oppressive stance that links distress to personal history and to the systems a person has had to live within, neurotypical expectations among them. Masking, people-pleasing, over-functioning, sensory burnout and a habit of analysing feelings rather than feeling them are the patterns she names most often. She holds a Level 4 Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling (NCPS accredited) and works with regular clinical supervision.

Sessions last 50 minutes and take place weekly at a fixed time over Zoom or Signal. She is based in the UK and insured to see clients worldwide. Her website sets out her values in detail — including positions on bodily autonomy, sex workers' rights and Palestine — so a prospective client can judge fit before getting in touch. The first step is a short, low-pressure consultation to see whether the working relationship suits both sides.
