Sexuality Counselling

Experiencing different desires and feelings for a person of the same sex may be confusing, particularly if we feel we are trying to live up to others expectations of us and/or scared of potential retribution. 

​

We live in a society where heterosexuality is often the perceived norm and despite positive changes in both legislation and attitudes over recent years, prejudice and discrimination unfortunately still exist. Being on the receiving end of this can be frightening and emotionally distressing which may result in other issues such as reduced self esteem, confidence and withdrawal.

​

The reality is that human sexuality is diverse and fluid with all identities being equally valid.

How therapy can help

​

Having the space to explore who we are in an affirming and non judgemental environment can be helpful in allowing us to develop a positive healthy sexual identity. Some people find it useful to be able to give themselves a �label' whilst others do not. There is no right or wrong, just individual choice.

Testimonials

​

"I was finding it very hard to accept the fact I am gay as it is against my religious beliefs. I lived in fear of my family and friends finding out as I believed they would never speak to me again. Seeing Wendy helped me realise I am not alone and it is ok to be gay. I have started to like myself again and feel more confident in myself. Wendy totally accepted me as I am and her supportive approach helped me through a difficult time. I recommend her as a therapist".
