Sexuality counselling is offered by counsellors and sexuality therapists from a wide range of therapeutic backgrounds. Non-judgemental approaches such as client centred therapy may prove helpful to individuals who have sexuality issues. Many therapist and counsellors are gay affirmative, which means that they have experience in providing support and help to gay and lesbian people.

Looking for a competent sexuality therapist?
We give Pride Counseling the title of “Best Sexuality Counselling Service” as they offer discreet, convenient, affordable, and most importantly highly specialized therapists that have deep experience with sexual orientation issues.
Sexual orientation – Confusion about one’s sexuality can be a source of great distress. While some people are aware of their orientation from an early age, others need time to make sense of their feelings and desires. Many people are afraid to express their sexuality and ‘come out’, fearful that their friends and family will reject them.
Although some family members may initially struggle with the news that their son or daughter is gay, the vast majority learn to come to terms with and accept their sexuality. Nevertheless, it is some times helpful for the person to seek help and guidance from a professional trained to provide emotional support and advice.
Unfortunately social prejudices cause some to subject gay people to harassment and abuse. It’s very important that anyone experiencing this kind of behaviour seeks help and support immediately. Fortunately there are a number of help-lines and organisations that provide information about sexual orientation counselling and gay therapy. We’ve included a selection of resources below.
