Dee Counselling - Specialisms
Counselling specialisms
One day I was sitting with a friend who was telling me that he was feeling really worried about finding a gender affirming counsellor while he was going through his transition.
Around that time I was becoming increasingly aware of how important mental health is, and was so saddened that my friend was struggling to find someone to understand him.
The thought stuck with me, and one year later I was on my first counselling course at the University of Salford, a few years after that after completing my professional training and becoming a professional member of the BACP I was finally able to say that I was a counsellor that would be accepting and understanding of anyone, but especially members of the LGBTQIA+ community, my community.
Areas I can support you with
If you’re not sure where you fit, you’re still welcome. Share a little about what’s going on and we can work out together whether Dee Counselling is the right support for you.
LGBTQIA+ affirming counselling
A space that affirms your identity and lived experience—without assumptions. We can explore relationships, family, confidence, and what you need to feel more like yourself.
Neurodivergent clients
We can adapt the pace and structure to suit you, including sensory needs and communication preferences. There’s room to talk about masking, burnout, and finding a way of working that feels sustainable.
Domestic abuse & relationship trauma
What you’ve been through can affect how safe you feel, how you trust, and where your boundaries sit. We’ll prioritise safety and go at your pace as you rebuild steadiness and choice.
