Meet the founders
Thea and Shel realised how deeply they both missed feeling understood by their parents while growing up. As a queer trans fem person and a nonbinary mixed race person, Thea and Shel rarely saw role models or stories that reflected their identities or the families around them.
That absence became the reason they started Rainbow Space. Today they are building a platform where queer families, parents and individuals can find resources, inclusive stories, and a safe space where they feel seen, supported, and where they can belong.
MgA Thea Jacobra is an award-wining creative director, consultant and somatic practitioner whose work explores the intersections of art, queerness, and spirituality. Shel Hamilton McKenzie is a musician, producer, and songwriter known as Kensal, creating emotionally resonant work through sound and storytelling.

Our therapists
Psychotherapist
– HCPC Accredited Therapist
– Gender Intelligence Trained
I am a queer therapist and offer an affirming, inclusive space for LGBTQ+ clients. My training with the Gendered Intelligence network informs my work with gender identity and expression, including supporting trans and non-binary experiences.
At the heart of my work is a belief in being truly seen, heard and met in your experience. I offer a compassionate, non-judgemental space where we can explore whatever you’re going through, whether that’s something you can put into words or something that feels harder to express.
I work both online and in person in St Albans, Hertfordshire.
Psychotherapist
– IACP Accredited Psychotherapist
– Children First Accreditation
I’m Jake, FTM transgender psychotherapist who specialise in working with queer and trans individuals, as well as working with many client presentations including, burnout, stress, anxiety, mental health & over all well being.
I believe you deserve a space where your experiences are affirmed and validated. I want you to know I care and I am here when you feel ready to take that step into your therapeutic journey.
How I work is collaborative and I am here sitting beside you on that journey. I have a strong connection toward self acceptance, self discovery, finding confidence and overall advocating for you in the therapeutic space!
My approach is not a one size fits all, I tailor that experience according to how you show up in therapy. I see you as a WHOLE person and the experiences you deal with (environmental, political) because they all make up the way you are in the world.
