What is LGBTQ+ counselling?
LGBTQ+ counselling, also called LGBTQ-affirmative therapy, is a therapeutic process that supports individuals navigating concerns related to sexual orientation, gender identity, and intimacy. A Registered Clinical Counsellor applies an affirming therapeutic stance that treats a client's identity as a normal variation rather than a problem to address.
What makes a counsellor LGBTQ+ affirming?
An LGBTQ+ affirming counsellor applies a therapeutic stance that respects a client's sexual orientation and gender identity as valid and does not treat identity itself as a clinical concern, informed by specific attention to minority stress and identity-related family dynamics.
What does LGBTQ+ counselling address?
LGBTQ+ counselling addresses coming out, family relationship strain following a disclosure, minority stress from discrimination or non-affirming environments, identity-related isolation, and relationship or intimacy concerns.
How much does LGBTQ+ counselling cost?
LGBTQ+ counselling costs typically range from $160 to $195 per 50 to 60 minute session, varying by counsellor. Many extended health insurance plans cover sessions delivered by a Registered Clinical Counsellor. View the Session Rates page for current pricing at Counsel Me Vancouver.
What happens in a first LGBTQ+ counselling session?
A first session establishes the client's presenting concerns, relevant history, and initial goals. The counsellor explains their affirming therapeutic approach and begins identifying the specific support the client needs.
