HELLO, WE&#;RE LGBT FOUNDATION
We’re a national charity with LGBTQ+ health and wellbeing at the heart of everything we do.
Celebrate our 50th
Mental health support if you're lesbian, gay, bisexual or transitioned (LGBTQ+)
Mental health problems such as depression or self-harm can affect any of us, but they're more common among people who are lesbian, gay, attracted to both genders and trans (LGBTQ+).
This may be linked to LGBTQ+ people's trial of discrimination, homophobia or transphobia, bullying, social isolation, or rejection because of their sexuality.
Other things, such as their age, religion, where they live, and their ethnicity can add extra complications to an already difficult situation.
How talking therapy can help
It might not be easy, but getting help with issues you're struggling to deal with on your own is one of the most crucial things you can do.
Talking with a therapist who's trained to work with LGBTQ+ people may help with issues such as:
- difficulty accepting your sexual orientation
- coping with other people's reactions to your sexuality
- feeling your body does not reflect your true gender (gender dysphoria)
- transitioning
- low self-esteem
- self-harm
- suicidal thoughts
- depression
- coping with bullying
