What this directory is

LGBTCounsellors.com lists UK counsellors who include LGBT among their listed specialties. Some people want a counsellor who has said, up front, that they work with lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans clients and the things that can come with that. This directory puts those counsellors in one place so you can compare them side by side.

A listing shows what a counsellor has chosen to put on their profile: what they work with, the approaches they use, their registration, how long they have practised and the languages they offer. It is not a rating or an endorsement, and it says nothing about anyone beyond those details.

This is not a crisis service. If you are struggling to cope, call Samaritans free on 116 123, at any hour. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 999.

Before you contact anyone

Free to read. No account needed to browse.

  1. Read how they describe their work

    The biography and the list of what they work with say more than any single label. Look for someone whose way of talking makes sense to you.

  2. Check their registration

    BACP, NCPS and HCPC each keep a public register. A profile shows who a counsellor is registered with; the register is where you confirm it.

  3. Ask what matters to you

    It is fine to ask a counsellor how they work with LGBT clients, or anything else that matters to you, before you commit to a session.
