LGBTQ2S+ Affirming Counselling

Safe, supportive, and identity-affirming therapy for queer, trans, and questioning individuals

At Wong Counselling, we offer a warm, validating, and culturally-humble space for LGBTQ2S+ clients to explore identity, relationships, mental health concerns, and life transitions. Our clinicians are trained in affirming, trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and intersectional care, with deep experience supporting clients through coming-out journeys, gender exploration, minority stress, relationship challenges, and navigating unsupportive family, cultural, or workplace environments.

​

Whether you are exploring your gender identity, building healthy relationships, recovering from past trauma, or seeking a therapist who truly understands LGBTQ2S+ lived experiences — you are welcome here.

No. Many clients come to therapy while questioning or while keeping their identity private. Therapy meets you exactly where you are.

Yes — our clinicians can provide supporting letters/reports for HRT, surgery readiness, school/work accommodations, and name/gender marker changes (depending on provincial regulations).

​

3. Is this counselling safe for trans and non-binary clients?

Yes. We follow WPATH-aligned, gender-affirming, trauma-informed practices that respect your autonomy and identity.

​

4. Can I bring relationship or sexuality questions to therapy?

Absolutely. We welcome discussions around queer relationships, poly/ENM dynamics, kink awareness, sexual wellbeing, and intimacy concerns.

​

5. What if my family or culture is not supportive?

We specialize in navigating cultural, religious, and intergenerational conflict, especially for clients from Asian, immigrant, and faith-based communities.

​
