Being a therapist for queer and neurodivergent people — Nath Weber
Nath Weber is a psychologist, psychotherapist and trainer based just outside Lausanne, Switzerland. They practise from an eco-queer-feminist perspective and are deeply committed to supporting queer and neurodivergent people. Their work, grounded in social justice and inclusive practices, makes them a true pioneer in the field of psychotherapy.
A deep commitment to the LGBTQIA+ community
Nath Weber stands out for their particular commitment to adults of the LGBTQIA+ community. Through individual therapy and group activities, they offer a safe and caring space for queer people. Their methods include the narrative approach, as well as trans-affirmative and neuro-affirmative practices, all centred on identity affirmation and inclusion.
An eco-queer-feminist approach
Nath’s eco-queer-feminist perspective is unique. It combines elements of ecology, feminism and queer theory to create a holistic approach to psychotherapy. This perspective makes it possible to address psychological difficulties not only at the individual level, but also within the broader context of social and environmental structures.
Social justice and anti-oppressive practices
Nath’s strong emphasis on social justice and anti-oppressive practices is a crucial aspect of their work. They take care to create therapeutic environments where all forms of discrimination are actively fought. This includes particular attention to micro-aggressions and power dynamics, so that every person is heard and respected in their diversity.
Literary contributions
Alongside their clinical work, Nath wrote a chapter of the book Itinérances narratives : la magie dans la faille. Boussole politique des pratiques narratives, in which they explore the intersections between narrative therapy and social justice. This chapter testifies to their ability to combine theory and practice to positively influence the field of psychotherapy.
