Although a persons sexual or romantic orientation or gender identity may not be a source of distress, people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, asexual, or any other orientation or gender identity may find that the social stigma of living as a minority is a source of stress or anxiety.

Kerri Parke
Counsellor/Therapist, Psychotherapist ACA-L2
My own queer journey and identity has taught me that no two experiences are the same and that even while things for LGBTQI people are improving all the time, we are still an oppressed community. Divergence from "the norm" within society still requires some explanation, justification and striving for acceptance - all of which can impact on a person's mental health. Trans people are some of the most vulnerable people in our society and they deserve support as they transition, as they come out, as they navigate employment, housing or relationships as they need it. I have experience of working with the LGBTQI people in a variety of ways, including coming out, dealing with discrimination and prejudice as well as issues that are unrelated to their gender and sexual identity but want a space where those parts of themselves are welcomed and understood.
I have worked with members of the community with their general therapeutic needs, as well as those who sought support during the coming out process, faced homophobia, biphobia and/or transphobia, were experiencing queer intimate partner abuse, sexual abuse and/or assault and those with a HIV positive diagnosis.

Clair Ramsden
Counsellor/Therapist, (Dip.Couns)
I have dealt with individuals from varying backgrounds, including those who identify as LGBTQIA+. While their sexual orientation or gender identity may not be directly related to their distress, individuals who belong to this group may experience social stigma that makes them feel anxious or stressed.
Through relational therapy, which is a type of psychotherapy, I can help individuals overcome these issues. It can also have a positive effect on their lives, as it can help them develop new relationships. My knowledge of the challenges faced by members of this community has been instrumental in achieving successful therapy outcomes.
