LGB+ counselling
We offer professional psychological & psychosocial counselling for lesbian, gay, bisexual and queer people.
Psychological counselling can be helpful with particular challenges or difficulties in different areas of life such as:
- Sexuality: (e.g. coming out, sexual health)
- Identity: (such as transgender, non-binary, and others)
- Work / School: (e.g. bullying, unemployment)
- Relationships: (e.g. couple counselling, parenthood, family conflicts)
- Mind: for persistent stress, sleep disturbances, psychosomatic complaints and other problems.
Our counsellors belong to the community themselves.
We advise young people and adults as well as their relatives and professionals.
The first three counselling sessions are free of charge.
