Stories from our clients
Questions, gently answered
Questions people ask us
What makes counselling gay-affirming?
Your identity is treated as a given, never a problem to solve. Sessions focus on the pressures around you — family, faith, workplace, discrimination — rather than questioning who you are. Conversion practices are illegal in Canada and have no place here.
Do I have to be out to start?
No. Many clients begin while out to nobody at all. Your sessions are private, and how far you take things outside the room is entirely your decision and your timeline.
Is my counsellor licensed in my province?
Yes. We match you with a clinician registered to practise where you live, whether that is with the CRPO in Ontario, the OPQ in Québec, the BCACC in British Columbia or an equivalent provincial body.
Is this covered by my benefits plan?
Sessions with a registered psychotherapist, social worker or psychologist are reimbursed under most Canadian extended health plans. We issue a receipt after every appointment.
How private is it, really?
Sessions are encrypted and your counsellor is bound by professional confidentiality. Nothing is shared with family, employers or insurers beyond the billing details you approve.
