LGBTQ+ Counselling in York

LGBTQ Counselling at York Therapy Clinic

Being LGBTQ+ can be an incredibly rewarding experience, but it can also come with its own set of challenges, including identity, sexuality and relationship difficulties.

Having a safe and supportive space to talk, in the form of LGBTQ+ counselling can help you to work through difficulties that are specific to your situation, and improve your mental health.

Here at York Therapy Clinic, we understand the unique experiences faced by the LGBTQ+ community and offer LGBTQ+ counselling in York to explore your identity, navigate relationships, and overcome challenges.

How LGBTQ Counselling Can Help

Whether you’re questioning your sexual orientation or gender identity, therapy can provide a safe space to explore your feelings and develop a stronger sense of self. LGBTQ+ counselling can also help with:

Coping with discrimination: Discrimination and social stigma can take a toll on mental health. Therapy can equip you with tools to manage stress, anxiety, and low self-esteem that may arise due to these experiences.
Building positive relationships: Navigating relationships within the LGBTQ+ community can present unique challenges. We can help you build healthy and fulfilling relationships with partners, friends, and family, with our relationship counselling.
Mental health concerns: LGBTQ+ individuals are more likely to experience depression, anxiety, trauma, difficulties with anger, and other mental health issues. Specialist counselling and therapy can address these concerns, and promote overall wellbeing.

Our Approach

Our team of experienced and qualified counsellors includes those who are LGBTQ+ themselves, and those who have extensive training in LGBTQ+ issues. This ensures a comfortable and understanding environment where you can express yourself openly and honestly.

Within our LGBTQ+ counselling in York, we use a range of therapy models, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Specialist LGBTQ+ Informed Counselling, to help individuals to overcome their unique challenges.
