Coming to terms with your sexuality—or even beginning to question it—can bring up a range of emotions: curiosity, confusion, fear, hope, and sometimes deep relief. For many, it’s not a simple process, especially when societal expectations, cultural pressures, or internalised beliefs create conflict.
Whether you’re just starting to explore your sexual orientation, considering coming out, or navigating issues of identity, therapy can offer a safe, non-judgmental space to reflect, process, and begin to feel more fully yourself.
You Don’t Have to Have All the Answers
Sexuality isn’t always fixed or clear-cut. You might be asking:
- What does my attraction to others mean?
- Why am I struggling to feel “normal” in my identity?
- Is it okay to be unsure or fluid in how I identify?
- How do I come out to the people in my life—if at all?
- Can I live in alignment with my truth and still be accepted?
These are deeply personal questions. And you deserve a space where you can explore them without pressure to label or define yourself until you’re ready—if ever.
An Affirming, Confidential Space to Be You
In our sessions, I offer:
- An inclusive, respectful approach that honours you and your experience
- Emotional support as you process fear, shame, or isolation
- Guidance for coming out (if desired), navigating relationships, and setting boundaries
- Tools for building self-acceptance and confidence in your identity
- A space free from judgment, expectations, or “fixing”
This work is grounded in empathy and respect. I won’t push you in any direction—I’ll walk alongside you as you find your own way.
