What is queer counselling?
Queer counselling is therapy that actually gets you—no explaining why pronouns matter, no awkward looks when you mention your partner, and definitely no outdated “phases” talk. It’s a space where you can unpack whatever’s on your mind, whether it’s coming out, dating drama, family stuff, or just the everyday stress of being a human (who happens to be queer). Think of it as support that’s as affirming as your favourite pride playlist—minus the bad remixes.
