Affirm your identity in a space that honors gender, sexuality, and the full spectrum of lived experience.

LGBTQ2+ Affirming Counselling

A Space Where You Can Be You
This is a place where you don’t have to explain or defend who you are. Our counselling space is welcoming, inclusive, and grounded in respect for all. Above all we’re here to support you with care and understanding.

Support Around Coming Out – Or Not Coming Out
For many, coming out can be a powerful step – but it’s not always simple or safe. Whether you’re thinking about sharing your identity or choosing not to, you don’t have to go through it alone. We offer a space to explore your feelings, decisions, and experiences freely and without pressure or judgement.

Honouring the Whole of Who You Are
At the same time being part of the 2SLGBTQ+ community and holding racial, cultural, or spiritual identities can feel complicated. You might be trying to make space for all parts of yourself in a world that doesn’t always understand. That’s why we’re here to walk alongside you as you navigate those intersections with compassion.

Family, Culture, and Queer Identity
Often family and culture can be sources of both love and pain. If you find yourself struggling with acceptance from those closest to you – or feeling the tension between your identity and your cultural background – therapy can help you make sense of it all and find peace with your path.

Healing From Pain That Runs Deep
Sadly living with rejection, discrimination, or the effects of colonial and intergenerational trauma can leave lasting wounds. You may be carrying hurt. Together, we can work gently through those layers and begin to make space for healing, hope, and self-trust.

Mental Health Support That Sees You
Meanwhile if you’re feeling anxious about being your true self, weighed down by depression, or exhausted from trying to hold it all together, you’re not alone. We see the strength it takes to just get through some days – and we’re here to support you in finding more ease, joy, and self-compassion.

You’re Allowed to Take Up Space
In a world that can be hard to navigate, especially in the current political climate. We’re here to hold space for you, exactly as you are.
