Counselling following an HIV Diagnosis.
It has not been unusual for a couple – gay, lesbian or straight – to come to see Dean Richardson for couples counselling after one (or both) have been diagnosed as HIV positive.
- Sometimes the couple therapy is about the shock of receiving a positive diagnosis.
- Sometimes the counselling is about trust issues raised by one partner being diagnosed.
- Sometimes the diagnosis is cathartic in releasing other matters that have been put off – but now need someone to help the couple discuss.
Whatever the core reasons of seeking couples counselling, Dean is a qualified and experienced couples counsellor who works with couples that have received a positive HIV diagnosis (amongst many other couple relationship reasons for counselling). His couples counselling service can help a couple negotiate their way through difficult problems resulting from HIV diagnoses.
The GU clinic may give you and your partner support after an HIV positive diagnosis, but longer term therapy is available privately through meeting with Dean.
What to do next.
You don’t need to be referred to Dean via your local GUM clinic, nor your doctor. Initiating private counselling is totally up to you and can be arranged as soon as you make contact with Dean. It is a confidential service that can compliment the medical treatment that you will continue to receive through your GUM clinic and/or your doctor.
