Gay Couples counsellor.

Dean Richardson is a specialist LGBT counsellor - working in Portsmouth with gay/lesbian/transgendered couples, mixed sexuality/gender couples and LGBT individuals. As a gay man working with gay, lesbian and mixed-sexuality/mixed-gender couples, Dean provides couples and individuals with a service that clients may feel is more in-tune with their gay relationship, and whilst Dean practices as a systemic and psychodynamic counsellor (a practice similar in style to how Relate therapists work) - meaning that it doesn't matter how your relationship is setup or what your relationship problems are for therapy to be effective - many gay couples feel more comfortable visiting a gay therapist who they feel is part of their LGBT community, or who they feel will understand them sufficiently for them to work at their relationship problems. Visit Dean for an initial assessment session to see if gay and lesbian couple counselling is suitable for you both regardless of your gender or sexuality.
