At William Macaulay Counselling Perth, I offer inclusive and compassionate transgender counselling services to support individuals navigating gender identity and related mental health challenges. While issues like anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem can affect anyone, transgender and gender-diverse people often face unique stressors such as gender dysphoria, transphobia, discrimination, and social rejection. These experiences can deeply impact emotional well-being, relationships, and overall quality of life.
Conveniently located in Como, Perth, just minutes from the CBD, I provide professional gender affirming therapy tailored to meet the specific needs of transgender clients. My goal is to help you improve self-esteem, develop effective coping strategies, and embrace your true identity in a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental environment.
Whether you’re beginning your gender journey, experiencing challenges with social or medical transition, or simply seeking a space to explore your identity, I aim to support you every step of the way.

Family support is crucial to the mental health and well-being of transgender and gender-diverse individuals. I offer a compassionate, non-judgemental space where families can explore concerns and learn how better to support their loved ones through gender exploration or transition.
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, confused, or unsure about how to respond, I provide practical guidance to help navigate common challenges such as stigma, fear, or grief, fostering greater understanding, acceptance, and connection.
