Gay Counselling in Brighton
Sexuality is about the force within us that makes us emotionally, psychologically and physically attracted to other people. Sexuality is not just about sex.
Many people feel that being gay brings certain challenges. Often people feel that homosexuality makes being accepted by family, friends and colleagues more difficult, and gay and lesbian people often fear being rejected for their sexuality. Coming out, for those who choose to do so, can be a significant event in a person’s life and everyone experiences this differently.
For gay people, some aspects of life may be less straightforward than they might be for others.
Gay counselling can help with most personal issues
There are many reasons why people, both gay and straight, sometimes turn to counselling and psychotherapy. There is no limit to the kinds of issues that can be addressed in therapy.
Common concerns that gay men and women bring to counselling include issues about dating or relationships, sexual identity, family problems, self-worth and self-confidence issues, internet and social networking issues, sexual problems and issues around sexual health and HIV. Some gay people have sought therapy after problems with recreational substance issues, while other have come for career or work-related issues.
In counselling, gay clients sometimes prefer a gay therapist, believing that a gay therapist is more likely to understand their needs. Other gay people do not make this distinction. This is a personal choice.
