To provide psychological support on your journey to 'coming out'
Working with a compassionate, professional counsellor offers you a safe place to manage the challenges and struggles you may be experiencing in coming out or with your own sexual identity.
Psychological support helps you grow in acceptance - accepting people as they are - and slowly let go of the hurt and pain of non-acceptance - you learn to let go of the need for others to approve of your choice - whilst still maintaining the connections you value.
Psychological support helps you to recognise ways to maintain your close relationships, even though they may hold different values, whilst still being true to yourself.
You feel less alone and more supported whilst you are creating your own lifestyle containing what is important to YOU
