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.

Jayne Batten
Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, CT, MPCC, MBACP
I address LGBT issues with an affirming, identity-centered lens to validate clent's experiences of gender, sexuality and the unique challenges they may face in a heteronormative or cisnormative world. Therapy supports empowerment, resilience, and self-acceptance, while also addressing the broader mental health needs within the context of each client's lived experience.

Charlie Young
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC #22791
I'm a queer and trans RCC providing virtual therapy across BC, specializing in gender-affirming care, hormone readiness assessments, and identity exploration. Many people come for transition support and readiness letters; others for trauma, depression, anxiety, BPD, anger, or bipolar — any topic is welcome, and you can bring something specific or start with the sense that something is off and we'll work it out from there. Often our environments don't support us the way we need them to, and I help name that context rather than treating it as a problem arising within you. Sessions are 50 minutes by secure video, longer sessions available, and I'll use your name and pronouns from our first contact. Hormone readiness assessments are $300 — some prescribers require a letter and many in BC do not, so check with yours before booking, and during the free 15-minute consult we'll talk about what brings you to counselling and how I can help.
