Samira Gholami
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor
Everyone deserves to feel accepted, respected, and comfortable being their authentic self. Yet navigating sexual orientation, gender identity, relationships, or questions of belonging can sometimes feel complicated, particularly when family expectations, cultural traditions, or societal pressures make it difficult to express who you truly are. You may be exploring your identity, considering coming out, experiencing discrimination, or struggling to find acceptance and understanding in your relationships.
As a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC), I offer compassionate, LGBTQ+ affirming counselling for adolescents and adults seeking a supportive, non-judgmental space to explore their experiences. My approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and grounded in respect for each person's identity, autonomy, and lived experiences.
My professional development includes training in supporting transgender and gender-diverse youth, strengthening my awareness of the unique challenges LGBTQ+ individuals may encounter. I recognize that experiences of identity and belonging can be deeply influenced by family dynamics, cultural backgrounds, community relationships, and personal beliefs.
Together, we can explore concerns related to self-acceptance, anxiety, relationships, family conflict, identity development, discrimination, and emotional well-being. Whether you're questioning aspects of your identity or simply looking for a counsellor who respects and understands your experiences, our work will be guided by your needs, values, and goals.
You should never feel pressured to disclose, explain, or change who you are before you're ready. My goal is to provide a welcoming environment where you can strengthen your confidence, develop healthy boundaries, and build meaningful connections while remaining true to yourself.
I offer affordable counselling in English and Farsi and would welcome the opportunity to support you in navigating life's challenges with greater self-compassion, confidence, and authenticity.

Clayre Sessoms
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC, ATR-BC
Navigating a world built on cisnormative structures means that dealing with LGBTQ+ issues is often an exhausting exercise in daily survival, but therapy should also be a space to cultivate gender euphoria. I arrive at this work with you with my own lived experience as a genderflux, queer femme (she/they). My virtual counselling practice in Vancouver, BC and across Canada offers a deeply affirming, non-gatekeeping space where you never have to translate your identity to be understood. We will work relationally to hold the weight of systemic macro-aggressions, fostering a slow, embodied space of absolute resonance and solidarity.
