LGBT Counselling in Perth

Be Who You Are
Mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem, can affect anyone regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. However, individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender often face additional challenges that heighten their distress. Navigating your sexuality or gender identity, confronting homophobia, transphobia, and discrimination, and experiencing rejection from loved ones can all profoundly impact psychological well-being. These experiences can affect your mental health, sense of self-worth, relationships, substance use, and overall quality of life.
Conveniently located in Como, just minutes from the CBD, I offer professional LGBT counselling and psychotherapy services tailored to address a broad spectrum of sexuality and gender-related concerns. My goal is to provide compassionate, affirming support that helps you build healthy relationships, boost self-esteem, and embrace a positive and authentic sense of your identity.

Gay Counselling Perth
I have a keen interest in working with and supporting the gay community. Talking through your concerns with a qualified gay therapist in a safe, confidential, and judgement-free space can lead to new possibilities and provide tools to manage challenges effectively.
​​
Feeling uncomfortable with your sexual orientation?
​​
People who feel uncertain or uncomfortable identifying as gay, lesbian, or bisexual often come to counselling with a variety of concerns. These may include questioning their orientation, navigating the coming out process, sexual or religious concerns, and difficulties with social or self-acceptance. If you're questioning your sexuality, I provide a warm, accepting space to explore your thoughts and feelings without pressure.
​​
Comfortable with your sexual orientation but facing other challenges?
​​
Many same-sex attracted individuals also seek counselling for issues not directly related to orientation. These may include relationship difficulties such as trust, jealousy, fidelity, or abuse, as well as mental health concerns like anxiety, depression, past trauma, and low self-esteem. LGBT counselling can also address sexual health and substance use concerns in a supportive, non-judgemental environment.
