LGBTQ+ Counselling

It all begins with an idea.

Everyone deserves a space where they can be fully themselves. I offer LGBTQ+-affirmative counselling in Dublin and online, providing a confidential, non-judgemental space to explore identity, relationships, mental health, and life transitions. Whether you’re questioning, out, or anywhere on your journey, therapy can help you feel understood, supported, and empowered.

How counselling can help

  • Identity & self-acceptance: Explore sexual orientation, gender identity, and expression at your own pace.

  • Anxiety, stress & low mood: Build practical tools for worry, overwhelm, and minority stress.

  • Coming out & family dynamics: Navigate conversations, boundaries, and safety planning.

  • Relationships & intimacy: Improve communication, attachment patterns, and confidence—solo or as a couple.

  • Work & study challenges: Manage workplace bias, burnout, and performance pressure.

  • Life transitions: Gender-affirming paths, moves, break-ups, bereavement, or starting over.

What to expect

Sessions are collaborative and compassionate. We’ll focus on what matters to you—grounding skills for immediate relief, reflective work for deeper change, and values-based steps to support your wellbeing. In-person in Dublin or secure online sessions available.

My approach

  • LGBTQ+-affirmative and trauma-informed

  • Respect for your language, pronouns, and lived experience

  • Culturally sensitive, intersectional, and aligned with ethical guidelines

Is this for me?

You might benefit from LGBTQ+ counselling if you’re experiencing:

  • Persistent stress, anxiety, or low mood

  • Isolation, shame, or internalised negativity

  • Relationship or intimacy concerns

  • Difficulties at work, school, or home related to identity

  • A desire to know yourself better and feel more at home in your life

Getting started

You don’t have to do this alone. Reach out today to arrange your first LGBTQ+-affirmative counselling session in Dublin or online. Together, we’ll create a plan that supports your mental health and honours who you are.
