LGBTQ+ Issues
Ekta Abhay Lather
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
LGBT issues encompass a wide range of topics related to the rights, experiences, and challenges faced by individuals in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community. Key issues include the fight for equal marriage rights, anti-discrimination protections in various aspects of life such as employment, housing, and healthcare, and the ongoing struggle against stigma and violence. Additionally, there are unique challenges for LGBTQ+ youth, including mental health concerns and the need for acceptance in schools and communities. Advocacy and education play crucial roles in promoting understanding and acceptance, fostering an inclusive society where everyone can live authentically and without fear of persecution. Openness, dialogue, and allyship are vital in supporting the rights and dignity of LGBTQ+ individuals.

Your Story Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MSc, CCC, RMFT, RSW, RP
Talking about sex, sexuality, and gender can be a stressful thing, even with loved ones that you fully trust. We work with individuals, couples, triads/tripods, quads and all relationships by creating a safe and shame-free environment. Helping clients seek out what blocks them from being able to explore all aspects of their preferred ways of living, loving, and seeking desire. We strive to help clients build deeper connections with themselves and others in their sexual relationships as well as creating a safe space to work through sexual concerns. Some examples of topics discussed in sex therapy include: low desire, sexual trauma, post-affair intimacy, exploring kinks/fantasies, and navigating open relationships (not all are listed here). Our therapists can help you identify the roots of your struggles and create a custom treatment plan to overcome them. Head over to our website to learn more!
As a passionate allies to the LGBTQ2+ community, we also walk alongside clients as they explore what it means from them to embody their preferred gender, sexuality, and sexual orientation.
