★★★★★ Google Review (Counselling)
Ghita has been helping me for a couple of years and I can say she is a caring and understanding counsellor. Ghita is a good listener and can help provide insightful advice while you get to the core of what is going on and work through challenging life and developmental situations. Ghita is intuitive, supportive, emotionally aware and empathetic, I would recommend her. I feel at ease talking to her as she can see what is really going on and she enjoys helping people. - Adam
60 to 76% of LGBTIQA+ people report positive, long-term improvements in both mood and relationships after seeking counselling support.
Rainbow Counselling Services Gold Coast
Contrary to popular belief, publicly affirming one’s sexuality or gender doesn’t happen in one big reveal for most people. More frequently, coming out is a gradual process that happens in stages – or not at all for some people. In fact, only 50% of LGBTIQA+ Australians are out to their entire personal and professional circles.
You might choose to come out to your parents, family, friends, or workmates. But for many people, there are cultural, religious or professional considerations that shape and inform when, and who, they choose to share their LGBTIQA+ identity with.
After coming out in her forties, Ghita understands many of the relationship problems that you may be dealing with. Ghita has specialised training and experience in relationship therapy and has helped many gay and lesbian couples to create long-lasting and loving relationships.
Specialist Support for Clients for the Following Concerns:
LGBTIQA+ Mental Health and Relationships
LGBTIQA+ people face elevated rates of psychological distress due to social stigma and prejudice, which can adversely affect their self-esteem, sexuality and relationships with others. Homophobia, biphobia and transphobia can also create significant mental health challenges for LGBTIQA+ people. Counselling can help to address these issues and support LGBTIQA+ people to live confidently within their sexual orientation and gender identity.
In addition to the common relationship issues faced by heterosexual couples, domestic violence and sexual coercion is also prevalent in LGBTIQA+ couples, with 30% of same-sex attracted people reporting intimate partner violence in their relationships.
At Ghita Therapy, we are proud to offer diversity affirming therapy and client-centred support that is sensitive to the complex needs of LGBTIQA+ clients navigating the process of affirming their sexual orientation and gender identity.
Please note, that there is an initial free 10 minute phone consultation available. Don't be afraid to reach out and ask questions. Call us today at Ghita Therapy Counselling Gold Coast on 0439888070.
