LGBTQ+ Counselling in York

LGBTQ Counselling at York Therapy Clinic

Being LGBTQ+can also come with its own set of challenges, including difficulties with identity, isolation, adjustment and difficulties with relationships.

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 help you improve your wellbeing and mental health.

Here at York Therapy Clinic, we understand the unique experiences faced by the LGBTQ+ community and our team of experienced LGBTQ+ counsellors in York can help you 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.
Adjustment and Acceptance: Coming out to others as gay, bisexual, pansexual or any other orientation can be difficult, and accepting this in yourself can also be a source of conflict. Counselling can help you explore your sexuality and develop confidence in who you are.
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 LGBTQ+ counsellors in York include those who are LGBTQ+ themselves, and have lived experience of LGBTQ+ issues.

If you would prefer to discuss your needs with a therapist outside of the community, we also have a number of therapists that have completed training and have experience of working with those experiencing difficulties faced by the LGBTQ+ community.

Which ever you prefer, all of our therapists provide a confidential and comfortable non-judgemental environment where you can express yourself openly and honestly.

Within our LGBTQ+ counselling in York, our team of psychologists, counsellors and therapists offer a range of therapy approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Specialist LGBTQ+ Informed Counselling to help you overcome your unique challenges.
