Licensed Professional Counsellor, MNZAC
Our LGBT Relationship Counseling and Mentoring specialty is dedicated to addressing the unique challenges and dynamics faced by LGBT couples. We understand that LGBT relationships can encounter specific issues related to societal acceptance, family dynamics, identity, and equality within the relationship. Our approach is inclusive, affirming, and tailored to the needs of each couple. We provide a safe and supportive space where couples can explore issues such as communication, trust, intimacy, and navigating external pressures or discrimination. Our therapy integrates various techniques, including affirmative therapy, to support the unique experiences of LGBT individuals and their relationships. Our goal is to foster a deeper understanding and stronger bond between partners, empowering them to build a resilient, fulfilling, and loving relationship that respects their individual and shared identities.

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.
