LGBTQIA+ Therapy

£70.00
Our sexuality and gender can form a big part of our identity and those who don’t fit society’s heteronormative ideal can come up against more challenges. Those who identify as LGBTQ+ can be seen as ‘different’ by some, facing discrimination, bullying and a lack of understanding which can lead to mental health concerns.

Speaking to a counsellor can help with some of the difficulties you’re facing, such as:

  • finding it hard to accept your sexuality
  • coping with other people’s reactions
  • low self-esteem and low self-confidence
  • fear of violence or abuse in public places
  • effects of bullying and discrimination
  • feeling as if your body does not reflect your true gender (gender dysphoria) transitioning
If you develop a mental health condition, therapy can help you find new ways of coping and either overcome or manage your condition. What’s important is for you to find a counsellor who you trust and feel able to talk to openly about your experiences. For this reason, it can be helpful to check your counsellor has experience working with LGBTQ+ people and/or has had appropriate training.
