Supporting LGBTQ+ Youth: Therapy for Identity, Belonging, and Emotional Growth
LGBTQ+ young people face unique challenges as they navigate identity, family, and social acceptance. Whether they’re questioning their gender or sexuality, coping with bullying or family tension, or simply trying to feel seen, therapy can be a lifeline.
At our North Sydney therapy space, we provide compassionate support for LGBTQ+ youth and their families—offering space to explore identity, build emotional resilience, and feel a sense of belonging.
Common Issues Faced by LGBTQ+ Youth
Fear of rejection or coming out
Social isolation and peer bullying
Mental health challenges like anxiety or depression
Family conflict or religious pressure
Navigating gender expression at school or in public
We support young people to explore these experiences at their own pace and reconnect with their sense of agency, safety, and hope.
