Your LGBTQA+SB identity is an important aspect of who you are, but may not be the main reason you are seeking counselling support, further Gender Sexuality Diversity does not automatically equate to poor mental health. As your Counsellor I will focus on your presenting concerns that are impacting your well-being.

I also offer LGBTQA+SB informed practice education and consultancy for allied mental health practitioners upskill their knowledge of the LGBTQA+SB communities to support breaking down the barriers we often face in accessing services and to ensure future generations don't need to experience the same discrimination and stigma we have.
“It’s not your responsibility as my client to explain what Gender Sexual-orientation Diversity is, or the impacts that living in a cisgender hetero normative society may have on your mental wellbeing, it’s mine as your Queer Informed Counsellor." Carolyn (she/her) cis Queer human
