Support that understands where you're coming from
LGBTQ+ Counselling in Leeds Safe, Inclusive Therapy
Why choose LGBTQ+ Counselling in Leeds?
Whether you're exploring your identity, dealing with shame or rejection, or simply looking for a therapist who gets it, LGBTQ+ therapy offers a space where you don’t have to explain the basics.
Based in Leeds, I work with people across the LGBTQ+ community on a wide range of issues — from self-esteem and anxiety to grief, loneliness and relationships. You're not "too sensitive", "too much", or "too complicated". You're human — and you deserve to feel at ease in your own skin.
Therapy for coming out, relationship challenges and self-esteem stress.
People come to LGBTQ+ therapy for many different reasons — sometimes clear, sometimes harder to put into words. Some of the themes I often work with include:
🌈 Exploring identity — whether that’s around sexuality, gender, labels, or choosing not to label at all
🧠 Anxiety, low self-esteem, and feeling “not enough”
💔 Family rejection and experiences of homophobia, biphobia, or transphobia
🪞 Shame and challenging internalised beliefs about yourself
❤️🩹 Breakups, relationship challenges, and dating within LGBTQ+ contexts
🌪️ Loneliness, grief, and trauma
You don’t need to arrive with a tidy explanation for how you’re feeling — part of our work together can be understanding your experiences and finding ways to move forward that feel authentic to you.
How an LGBTQ+ counsellor can support you
Working with a gay therapist can offer deeper understanding of the cultural and social contexts that shape LGBTQ experiences. You won’t need to explain the basics of identity, coming out, or navigating discrimination.
This can help therapy feel more efficient and less guarded, allowing you to focus on what’s most important to you. It also creates space to explore your personal story without fear of misunderstanding or judgement.
That doesn't mean therapy will be easy or comfortable all the time — but it will be real, safe, and respectful of who you are.
