Colin Longworth - HPCCH Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Psychology & Counselling Services
Psychologist, MAPS, B Psych ECowan, GradDipCounselMurdoch,
As a mature-aged Gay man myself, I have "been around" long enough to have experienced a range of things that a younger Gay person may not have. These include the Gay male sex being illegal; the devastation of HIV/AIDS; the Marriage Equality debates; issues around "Special Religious Rights"; discrimination and "less than equal" treatment.
I combine this knowledge and experience with my psychology, counselling and clinical hypnotherapy training, to seek to assist clients. This is also assisted by regularly reading relevant books and research, on e.g. Heterosexism or homophobia, developing and strengthening resilience to microaggression's etc.
One thing I regularly do, (not just for LGB clients, but clients in general) is suggest books to read, or movies to watch, that may be of use, or as something to prompt thought on aspects of what the client has come to see me about.
Although I've had a few trans clients, issues around transition are not really a subject I feel competent to deal with, although I certainly feel I may be able to assist with discrimination and related issues, apart from issues around microaggression's, anxiety, depression and the collection of other issues clients may come to see me about.

Clair Ramsden
Counsellor/Therapist, (Dip.Couns)
I have dealt with individuals from varying backgrounds, including those who identify as LGBTQIA+. While their sexual orientation or gender identity may not be directly related to their distress, individuals who belong to this group may experience social stigma that makes them feel anxious or stressed.
Through relational therapy, which is a type of psychotherapy, I can help individuals overcome these issues. It can also have a positive effect on their lives, as it can help them develop new relationships. My knowledge of the challenges faced by members of this community has been instrumental in achieving successful therapy outcomes.
