A Gentle Affirmation
“Be who you are, and say what you feel, because those who matter don’t mind, and those who mind don’t matter.”
— Bernard Baruch
At Saanthwana Counselling & Healing Center, we deeply respect your identity, your story, and your right to be yourself.
How LGBTQIA+ Counselling Can Help
LGBTQIA+ counselling can be a powerful source of support for individuals navigating identity, relationships, and emotional wellbeing—especially in environments where understanding may be limited.
Counselling can help you to:
Explore sexual orientation, gender identity, and self-expression
Navigate relationships, family expectations, and social pressures
Manage stress, anxiety, depression, shame, or fear
Build self-esteem, confidence, and emotional resilience
You do not need to have everything figured out to seek support.
LGBTQIA+ Counselling at Saanthwana
A space where your identity, experiences, and emotions are respected—without judgment or assumptions.
You are heard without judgment
Share your thoughts, emotions, and experiences openly, knowing they will be met with respect and understanding.
Your identity is respected
We affirm diverse sexual orientations, gender identities, and lived experiences—without labels or pressure.
Growth happens at your pace
Therapy moves forward in ways that feel safe, collaborative, and aligned with your personal journey.
Support extends to relationships and families
Counselling can also help improve communication, boundaries, and understanding with loved ones.
