Theirapist
Welcome to Theirapist - the podcast where queerness meets curiosity and candid conversation. Hosted by Chloe Charles, a queer, non-binary, sober, psychodynamic therapist and clinical supervisor. Theirapist explores the rich, complex, and often messy realities of being LGBTQIA+ in today’s world.
Each episode features open-hearted interviews with guests and allies from across the spectrum, diving into themes like race, mental health, drag, menopause, chemsex, queer rights, parenting, neurodiversity, dating, polyamory, and everything in between. With a grounding in therapeutic insight and lived experience, this show offers both reflection and real talk; no topic is off-limits, and nuance is always welcome.
Whether you’re queer, questioning, an ally, or just curious, come for the conversation, stay for the connection. This is therapy-adjacent, radically honest, and deeply grounded in queer experience.
