About me
Have you tried counselling before?
Perhaps you felt unable to talk about your gender identity or sexuality.
Maybe you didn't want to risk being misgendered, misunderstood and having to educate your counsellor.
Let me help you.
I really understand that being LGBTQ+ can sometimes make it difficult to find a counsellor you can trust and feel safe to open up to.
As a Queer, Non-Binary person myself I have personal experience of how it can feel to be judged by professionals.
I'm passionate about helping LGBTQ+ people - like you - have affirmative counselling which is why I founded Sussex Rainbow Counselling in 2016.
I believe it's essential to not have to worry about coming out and educating your counsellor about your identity.
Testimonials
