LGBTQ+ and Gender, Sexuality & Relationship Diversity (GSRD) Affirmative Psychotherapeutic counselling

Growing up gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, plus in a world or in our families where being heterosexual or cis-gendered is considered ‘normal’ can feel lonely and confusing. Experiencing or anticipating discrimination or microaggressions is often felt as invalidating and can create internal pressure to fit into what is considered 'acceptable'. These experiences can have a devastating effect on the quality of our lives, which may affect the quality of our relationship with ourselves and others.

How does psychotherapeutic counselling work?

During the first session, I will ask you questions about yourself and the reason you have decided to start therapy. In the following sessions, the focus includes understanding the current situation and your experiences.

Exploring your early experiences and current situation and relationships helps me understand and feel the world as you do.

I will offer you empathy and a thoughtful and collaborative space. You can engage in therapy for as long as you feel it is useful.
