LGBTQIA COUNSELLING
The LGBTQIA community faces unique mental health challenges related to discrimination, prejudice, and minority stress. Coming out, exploring gender identity, managing family and relationship issues, and coping with bullying and harassment can take a heavy toll.
That's why having access to LGBTQIA counselling can be so valuable. The right counsellor provides a judgement-free space to process these challenges healthily.

Our Approach to LGBTQIA Counselling
​Our practitioners take a holistic approach to LGBTQIA counselling that incorporates each client's unique needs and experiences. All methods are grounded in identity affirmation, validating every client's gender identity and sexual orientation as real and valid. This judgement-free approach allows clients to explore their true selves.
​
Counselling also utilises a minority stress model that builds resilience by addressing discrimination's effects on mental health. Our counsellors consider how multiple identities like race, age, and ability shape LGBTQIA experiences through an intersectional framework.
​
Most importantly, we develop customised treatment plans tailored to each client's goals, challenges, and strengths. No matter where clients are in their journey, we offer empathetic LGBTQIA counselling focused on growth and healing.
