LGBT+ issues

If you’ve experienced hatred or shame as a consequence of your sexual orientation, it might feel daunting to reach out for support.
“Will I be misunderstood and disappointed?”
“Will my problems be understood under a heteronormative lens?”
“Will my therapist be uncomfortable about my sexuality?”
“Will I be made to feel like my sexual orientation is a burden and that all my problems stem from it?”
You can rest assured that this will not be the case. I recognise that not all of your issues stem from your sexual orientation, but that it might affect how those issues make you feel.

The Issues I Can Help With Include

• Sexual expression and communication
• Coming out
• Relationship Issues & Conflicts
• Anxiety and Stress
• Depression & mood disorders
• Homophobia (external and/or internalized)
• Sadness or Disconnection from self or others
• Family & Early Life attachment wounds
• Loss of sexual and/or emotional connection
• Healing from Loss/ Grief
• Infidelity
• Emotional, physical and sexual trauma
• Healing from hate crimes
• Building Skills & Self-esteem
• Negative impact of social or familial stigma
• Depression, anxiety and other emotional and psychological responses to chronic adversity, oppression and social injustice

In our sessions, we will talk about the issues you are struggling with. These issues might have their root in past experiences of rejection or humiliation. Or perhaps you are trying to manage a current stressful situation which you are not sure how to deal with.
Therapy can give you the resources you need to overcome the difficult emotions you are experiencing and to live your life free of excessive worry, guilt or suffering.
