Gay (LGBT+) Counselling and Psychotherapy

Shorter term counselling and longer term psychotherapy are available. 

We provide a warm, supportive and non-judgmental environment; we are not there to tell you what to do, we are there to facilitate you in finding your own way forward.

In our assessment session we will clarify the issues on which we can seek to address in the therapy. For many clients this usually involves an initial commitment to six sessions and if these are helpful we continue. However where there are multiple issues or where significant issues arise during the therapy a longer-term model will be appropriate.

Couples / same-sex / civil partnerships / gay marriage counselling

Nicholas has a particular interest in working with same sex couples. Following the initial assessment session he works in blocks of five sessions. These can be undertaken over a time frame that works for you however if your relationship is in crisis you might prefer his high intensive method where four of the sessions are delivered in a single day. This option can sometimes be made available at weekends - particularly useful if you are a couple with very busy diaries.

We provide a warm, supportive and non-judgmental environment, and we do not take sides. Couples counsellors do not come to the sessions with an agenda; we are not there to tell you what to do or to manipulate you into staying together. We are there to facilitate you in finding your own way forward; for some couples this will mean finding a more creative and positive future for the relationship, while for others it may mean helping you to accept and manage the end of a relationship.

Couples Counselling can be a positive experience at any stage of a relationship, as relationships pass through various stages new challenges and possibilities arise where counselling can facilitate growth, change and alleviate conflict. Very often, it is helpful when one or both of you are feeling misunderstood or isolated, or when you identify negative and destructive patterns.

Couples counselling otherwise referred to as Relationship Counselling or, Marriage Counselling is an opportunity to air hurt and angry feelings in a safe, private and controlled setting and can help free you to find new, more positive, ways of relating. 

Testimonials: 

"Nicholas navigated us through a dreadful time"

"I have had several therapists over my adult life and on the whole they have been beneficial. However the approach by Nicholas Rose surpassed my expectations. This was due to the combination of discussion and practical exercises that really honed in on the issues present in a way I hadn't experienced before. At a moment that was looking incredibly bleak for me and my partner, Nicholas helped us find clarity, understanding and the necessary reflection in a warm, secure and nurtured environment, for which I am very grateful for and recommend to anyone seeking help"
