The Liminal Clinic was founded to hold space for the in-between -  those thresholds where the past no longer fits, but the future isn’t yet formed. These moments can feel unsettling, painful, or uncertain, but they can also hold profound hope and possibility.

We are a small but growing clinic, founded by Brydan Xavier (He/Him) after years of work as both a criminologist and psychologist. His research and lived experience as a gay, neurodivergent professional revealed how harm compounds at the intersections of marginalisation — racism, homophobia, ableism, and other forms of stigma and discrimination known as minority stress. This shaped Liminal Clinic’s mission: to provide affirming, informed, and identity-aware care for people in intersecting diverse communities by creating a safe and understanding space built on lived experience, curiosity, and care.

The word liminal means threshold. In therapy, liminality shows up everywhere: the burnout that leads to discovering late-diagnosed neurodivergency, the pause before seeking support, the uncertainty of gender affirmation, or the fear of rejection when coming out. It’s also the dislocation of migration, the escape from violence, the shock of a new diagnosis, or the way trauma collapses time, pulling the past into the present. 

At Liminal Clinic, we don’t rush people through these in-between places. Instead, we walk alongside you — holding space for uncertainty, recognising your resilience, and supporting your transformation at the threshold.
