LGBTQ+ Counselling in York 

I offer face-to-face and online counselling for lesbian, gay, bisexual,

transgender, queer and other LGBTQ+ people in York who are looking for a

confidential space to talk about whatever is important to them. This may

include sexuality or gender identity, but also any other personal, emotional

or relationship issues you may want to explore.

​

You may prefer to work with someone who is more than “LGBTQ+ friendly”

and is part of the LGBTQ+ community. I am gay/lesbian, and I understand

how helpful it can be to speak with someone who doesn’t require

explanation of basic experiences, so you can focus fully on what matters to you.

​

Being LGBTQ+ can bring both joys and challenges. You may be exploring your identity for the first time, reassessing it, or making sense of past or present experiences that feel important or unresolved.

​

I understand the value of having a space where you can talk freely, without judgment or agenda. My approach is collaborative and exploratory, working at your pace and focusing on what feels most important to you.

​

We can talk about:

​

• Your sexuality, gender identity, or romantic orientation

• Deciding whether to come out, staying out, or rethinking how you identify

• Coming out as LGBTQ+ at university, in early adulthood, or later in life

• Navigating attraction, dating, and relationships

• Self-acceptance, including internalised homophobia or transphobia

• Experiences of prejudice, discrimination, or feeling different​
