Same-Sex Attraction Counselling

What Is Same-Sex Attraction Counselling?

Let’s start by understanding sexual orientation. Simply put, sexual orientation describes your emotional or sexual attraction to others. Therefore, same-sex attraction is when you are attracted to persons of the same gender or sex.

For many people, their sexual orientation may change over time. However, many also struggle to come to terms with same-sex attraction and struggle at different levels and intensity.

Same-sex attraction is a complex subject. For those struggling, there is sadness, confusion, fear, shame, frustration and even anger as to why these feelings exist. Many become anxious and depressed, ruminating over these feelings.

Therefore, same-sex attraction counselling provides a safe, non-judgmental and confidential space for our clients to talk openly about these struggles. Our trained counsellors will hold the space, listen empathetically and help them explore these feelings profoundly and to make sense of their feelings.

Who Might Same-Sex Attraction Counselling Affect?

Same-sex attraction counselling is beneficial for anyone who is struggling with these feelings and emotions. It does not matter whether they are still hiding (for fear of letting others know) or already out and about.

What Are The Benefits Of Same-Sex Attraction Counselling?

One significant benefit of same-sex attraction counselling is the clarity of this complex topic. While there is no quick fix, clients will be more transparent, confident, and assured about taking their next steps over time.

Types Of Same-Sex Attraction?

The most common same-sex attraction is male-to-male or female-to-female attraction. But we support all other attractions, including bisexual attractions and more.
