Gender & Sexuality

We are professional and experienced counsellors in areas of gender and sexuality. We genuinely care about clients and ensure a positive, friendly and nonjudgmental environment.

Exploring your own gender, sexuality and sexual identity can be a confusing and painful process. It can be especially difficult for those from certain family, religious, cultural and generational upbringings. Attitudes to sexuality and gender have changed considerably over the past few decades, yet there is still a lot more progress needed.  Therapy will provide a safe and accepting space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings, and support you on your journey.

The possible combinations of sexual preferences, sexual orientation, gender dysphoria, preferences and relationship choices are varied and an individual choice. It is possible to process and accept your sex, sexuality and/or gender. Many individuals struggling with their sexuality or gender suffer from harassment, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns and social isolation. Learn to accept yourself for exactly who you are.

SEXUALITY

Sexuality refers to who you are attracted to sexually, romantically and emotionally. We can be attached to different people in different ways. Labels can feel rigid and fixed when sexuality is deeply personal. Intimacy Counselling is here to support you as you find a way to define your own sexuality and how you choose to express yourself sexually.

GENDER

The biological and social ‘gender’ assigned to people does not always fit a person’s mental and emotional experiences. Gender is an important part of your sense of who you are. Labels can seem rigid and fixed when gender is deeply personal. Intimacy Counselling is here to support you as you define your own gender, finding a new level of acceptance and happiness.
