Teo Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, CCC, RP (Qualifying)
Navigating LGBT issues can involve unique challenges, from societal pressures to internal conflicts about identity and self-acceptance. I specialize in LGBT therapy, offering a supportive and affirming space for individuals exploring their sexual orientation, gender identity, or facing discrimination. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and affirmative therapy techniques, I help clients build resilience, embrace their authentic selves, and overcome obstacles related to their identity. Whether you’re coming out, dealing with relationship challenges, or seeking personal growth, I’m here to support you in your journey toward self-discovery and emotional well-being
