LGBT

Bullying occurs for reasons, but perhaps not for the most obvious ones. Psychoanalytic therapists attempt to use their experiences of patients in order to help the patient learn about themselves - bullying in the therapy room.

Whilst most counsellors will work with LGBT clients, Dean Richardson is a specialist LGBT counsellor. Spot the difference? Whilst it's true that any LGBT client could work with any counsellor, many Hampshire LGBT clients choose to work specifically with Dean. Dean offers counselling & therapy for gay, lesbian and mixed-gender/sexuality LGBT couples (whether separating or reconciling) and LGBT individuals. As a gay man, lesbian woman, or whatever is your most comfortable gender- and sexual- identification, decide if you would like to meet Dean to discuss your needs from counselling...

Some people are gay. Unlike straight-people, however, all gay people at some time have to choose whether or not to 'come out of the closet' (to coin an old phrase). Some people seek support from an LGBT counsellor before making a decision on announcing to the world (or at least family and friends) that they are gay, lesbian, transgender or bisexual. Coming out of the closet is not easy for some, and easier for others, but speaking with an counsellor who works with LGBT people can make the decision easier to work through.

Studied over a period of five years, 156 gay male couples were interviewed regarding their couple relationships to provide the conceptualisation of developmental stages of gay male relationships - McWhirter & Mattison (1984)

In early 2009, the counselling and psychotherapy profession was subject to unflattering media scrutiny following the publication of research which found that a significant minority of mental health professionals in Britain are attempting to help lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) clients become heterosexual.
