Existential Psychotherapist, Gay & Autistic

Chiswick, Pimlico & the City of London
Pinned
Hi Bluesky! I’m an existential psychotherapist based in central London. As an autistic therapist I particularly love working with neurodivergent clients in therapy. Sharing the view from my consulting rooms in Pimlico & the City, and looking forward to engaging with you all!
Excited to be sharing my first Substack article. It’s taken me a while to find the right words as it’s a subject close to my heart: autism & late diagnosis. I hope it resonates with others who’ve had similar journeys!

This is thuggery from Trump and Vance, plain and simple.

They are bullying the brave true patriot Zelensky into accepting a deal which effectively hands victory to Russia. Unless the UK and Europe step up, we are facing a betrayal of Ukraine.

I was hopeful about Bluesky, but the Syrian Revolution & Trump’s betrayal of Ukraine have changed my mind. Despite Elon’s depravity, Twitter is where the urgent stuff is happening. While here people silo themselves with blocklists like twee survivalists. It’s grim & depressing.

Just last week someone told me Trump would never shut down USAID because it buys so much US grain and I said, "I wonder if he knows that"
If only experts existed who could warn Americans repeatedly that foreign aid is money spent to pay Americans and buy things from Americans but no one's ever said it out loud so who can blame people for not understanding
U.S. businesses that sold goods and services to USAID are in limbo, including American farms dealing in rice, wheat and soybeans purchased as food aid.

It's very funny that Musk has apparently been working with Cummings. Makes perfect sense.

The US won’t invade Greenland.
But Trump may inspire Putin to have a little fun in Estonia while we are all too busy to get our act together, glued to our phones, waiting what kind of crazy thing the US President may say next.

Interesting. Macron is heading to London tomorrow evening for a working dinner with Starmer, focused on joint support for 🇺🇦 (as well as bilateral and 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 issues). This fits a consistent pattern of trying to bind the 🇬🇧 into European security efforts

Musk misinformation/disinformation just went into overdrive
There are 3.4 million girls 14 and under in England.

Elon Musk just wrote that 1 out of every 13 such girls is right now being “systematically raped by migrant gangs.”

The man has gone utterly insane. He’s a sociopath. His latest post is—unambiguously—neo-Nazi rhetoric intended to incite violence.
