Exploring without a deadline
You might want to discuss who you feel drawn to while keeping that conversation private from family or friends. An affirming therapist can help you consider safety and your own preferences without pressuring you to come out or choose a label.
What sessions might explore
Depending on your situation, sessions may explore self-understanding, relationships, disclosure choices and social pressures.
Choosing support
Ask how privacy is handled, including what name or email address will receive online booking messages. Choose an affirming practitioner and discuss confidentiality and safety around disclosure.

Frequently asked questions
What does support for sexual identity involve?
It depends on your goals. Sessions may explore self-understanding, relationships, disclosure choices and social pressures; a practitioner should explain their approach and agree priorities with you.
When should I seek help with sexual identity?
You can ask for support while questioning a label, managing discrimination or considering disclosure. You do not need to be distressed about your orientation itself.
Can online counselling help with sexual identity?
Online counselling can be useful if you have privacy. Consider which device or email receives confirmations, particularly if you have not come out to others.
Is sexual orientation something therapy should change?
No. Sexual orientation is not a disorder. Ethical support respects your autonomy. You can also seek help with difficulties entirely unrelated to your orientation.
How do I choose a therapist for sexual identity?
Ask how privacy is handled, including what name or email address will receive online booking messages.
What if counselling is not enough?
Choose an affirming practitioner and discuss confidentiality and safety around disclosure. You can ask a therapist about referrals and support that may be more appropriate.
What should I do if I need urgent help?
If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 999. In England, contact NHS 111 and select the mental health option for urgent mental health help. Veyro is not an emergency service.
