We have a large team of volunteer counsellors and currently offer counselling to individuals between 10am to 8pm Monday to Friday.

Our Face-to-Face counselling service offers short term counselling usually of between six to twelve sessions. Our counselling service has a revolving door policy so clients can undertake a period of counselling, and are able to return at a later date (usually a minimum of 3 months) for further counselling should the need arise.

We offer counselling to all people regardless of their ability to pay and will agree a fee with you at your counselling assessment.

***We are currently able to offer free counselling to all people under the age of 25***

People of all ages consider counselling and for a variety of reasons. Perhaps they are thinking about coming out, or are struggling to accept their sexuality, maybe having problems in their relationship or are feeling anxious or depressed. What ever the reason, if you feel you might benefit from a period of counselling you can self refer yourself to our Face-to-Face counselling service by completing and returning the Application for Counselling form to us by FREEPOST. If you do not have access to a printer we can post a form out to you. Please email your name and address to counselling@lgf.org.uk.

If you have a question about our counselling service check out our FAQ or you can email our Counselling Officer at counselling@lgf.org.uk

Couple Counselling

The couple counselling service at the LGF is for all LGBTQ couples. To apply please fill in the Application for Counselling form and put both of your names and contact phone numbers on the form.

A counsellor will contact you to arrange the first meeting which is an assessment session.

Couples may find couple counselling useful to help resolve issues that have arisen in their relationship; but may also find it useful if they have reached a point of irretrievable breakdown and want to use the counselling sessions to help bring their relationship to a respectful end.

We also offer a number of face to face group counselling sessions. Click here for more details.
