Ajay Sahota
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC (Registered Clinical Counsellor)
LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, +) persons may encounter specific challenges (e.g., oppression and discrimination) related to their sexual orientation. These challenges may include norms and beliefs of family members, friends, church, and cultural customs. Social and cultural norms sometimes conflict with your own values, that of other cultures you belong to, and a sense of who you are.
Some communities maintain entrenched beliefs and stereotypes of LGBTQ+ persons. In those cases, there may be resistance to accept you because you do not meet certain cultural expectations. As a result, a LGBTQ+ person may feel shame, and low self-esteem and self-worth. These feelings can lead to depression and anxiety and you may withdraw from others to protect yourself from hurt and feel lonely at the same time.
When you grow up around negative attitudes or discrimination against a group people for their sexuality or gender, it may also be difficult to accept and express yourself for who you truly are. You may find it difficult to be curious about, and explore, your sexuality and identity. As a South Asian born man (he/him) in a second-generation immigrant family in Canada, I understand some of the complexities of culture, sexuality, and gender expression.
I am excited to support you on this journey. I celebrate and stand with you as a LGBTQ+ person.

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.
