LGBT Issues therapists in Aston, England ENG, United Kingdom GB
John Castleford
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, mARCHTI
Our biological sex is mostly determined at birth, but gender issues have the potential to adversely reflect potential conflict between the ways in which we identify with our sexuality, typically with societal disapproval of LGBT which is more pronounced in some regions of the world than others where tolerance may be the norm. Not everyone has XX or XY chromosomes. Not everyone feels comfortable about same-sex relationships, and that may be an issue derived from religious intolerance or just sheer prejudice and ignorance. Developing awareness of strategies for building resilient mind sets that better help with coping strategies can themselves be developed to enable you blossom, thrive and flourish as a person, irrespective of the intolerance of others.

Jill Deacon
Counsellor/Therapist, BSc and FdSc Person Centred Counselling. MBACP
We can all experience mental health issues. Members of the LGBTQ community seek help at a higher rate, perhaps due to discrimination and stigma still rife within families, work, peers and society at large. Depression, anxiety and other mental health-related issues can also lead to higher rates of addiction and substance misuse, damaging behaviours, self-harm and suicidal ideation and suicide.
Working with an LGBTQ affirmative counsellor can provide a safe place to empower each persons' unique challenges in life and to explore the feelings and experiences.

Dr. Birte Nachtwey
Registered Psychotherapist, MD, CORST
Our world is becoming more and more diverse and openly addressing LGBT issues is important and widely accepted in this part of the world. If you are struggling with questions about your gender identity, sexual orientation and/ or preferences and the consequences you fear or experience in your life, therapy can be very helpful. I would like to encourage you to get competent help to find your own paths with these topics and the place in life that you want.

Sexuality and the many feelings and sensations this brings can be overwhelming for many, especially when fear of acceptance and shame occur. I can help you to explore these feelings within yourself and step out into the world feeling proud of who you are.
