LGBTQ+ Counselling in South East London, London
I am Kalvin at Sexuality Space, a modern therapy practice that specialises in mental health, sexual identity, relationships, LGBTQIA+, kink, confidence building, sexual health, non-monogamy, sex worker support and so much more.
As a GSRD (Gender, Sexuality & Relationship Diversities) therapist, my practice is integrative and responsive to your unique experiences and needs. My approach draws from various models and is rooted in the belief that sexuality and relationship dynamics are central to everyone's identity, shaping our interactions with the world and ourselves.

I work with individuals and with LGBTQ couples both short-term and longer term.
I offer you space to talk, but rather than being a silent "blank screen" I offer an engaged presence, so we can figure out together what is going on for you. My approach is transdiagnostic, bringing an awareness to your unique situation, both its troubles and strengths. My practice is trauma aware and we go at the pace that feels comfortable to you.

Although I welcome clients from all backgrounds, helping them on their journey of self discovery, I have extensively worked with the LGBTQ+ and migrant communities both as an activist and as a counsellor.
I am a Person Centred Therapist registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I have extensive experience working with under-represented communities and helping people understanding their behaviours. My counselling journey started a decade ago, not as a qualified counsellor, but as a client. By offering a judgment free space and the opportunity to be vulnerable, my therapist supported me on my journey of self-acceptance. It is on that connection between counsellor and client that I base my work. In my humanistic approach to therapy I believe that my clients are the experts of themselves.

Much of my experience has been working with the LGBTQ+ community.
There are a range of reasons why you may be seeking relationship or individual therapy, such as navigating a crisis or better understanding unfulfilling patterns of behaviour. I offer a non-judgmental space for you to discuss whatever challenges you may be facing and wish to explore.

I work with people navigating shame, trauma, LGBTQIA+ experiences, kink, ENM, neurodivergence, and the complexities of living within racialised and minoritised identities.
Whether you are struggling alone or within a relationship, feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or burdened by shame and low self-worth—therapy offers a space to come home to yourself. Together, we will make sense of what you are carrying, gently untangle what no longer serves you, and move towards greater self-acceptance, intimacy, and ease.

I have spent many years working in the LGBTQ+ community, particularly with gay men.
Hi I'm Daniel (He/Him). I'm a counsellor who provides support for people that are struggling with feelings of depression, anxiety and grief. I work with people seeking support with difficult life decisions and challenges in their relationships. Often people attend because they are feeling 'stuck'; finding themselves arriving at the same place, despite trying really hard to change. Perhaps they are drinking, shopping or eating to cope or escape. The sex and relationships they're having has stopped feeling safe or fulfilling. They're doing things to 'feel better' while avoiding people, places or decisions due to fear or shame.

Together, we’ll help you live authentically, set boundaries, and build a fulfilling, values-driven life. With my support, you can gain clarity, confidence, and practical tools to thrive, without compromising your well-being.

As a member of the community, I provide a welcoming and supportive space for LGBTQ individuals, addressing issues related to gender, sexuality and relationship diversity.
Speaking with someone for the first time about personal issues or trauma can feel really daunting. It is important to feel safe and not judged when talking about difficult things, and my aim is for us to develop a relationship where you can explore whatever it is that you need to. There is not an exhaustive list of the reasons for coming to counselling initially but one thing is sure and that is it begins with building trust and beginning to speak openly. Our sessions will be collaborative: I will facilitate, but you will lead the way. Even if you can't pin point why things feel difficult, you're not alone.

LGBTQ+ Counsellors
Do LGBTQ-affirmative therapists receive special training?
Yes. Many therapists who practice LGBTQ-affirmative therapy have completed specialised training, either during their degree programme or as continuing education, to learn the core principles of affirmative therapy and how to best support their LGBTQ clients; some have received certifications in LGBTQ-affirmative therapy. Prospective clients should inquire as to a clinician’s background and training to ensure a good fit.
Why might I want to see an LGBTQ-affirming or LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
Queer and gender-non-conforming individuals frequently experience bias and marginalisation in day-to-day life. Working with a therapist who understands these unique challenges, as well as accepts and affirms their identity, can help LGBTQ clients feel safe and supported during therapy—allowing them to better navigate their relationships, mental health, and anything else that they wish to explore during therapy. It is important to note that many therapists can be effective in their work with LGBTQ+ individuals, even in the absence of specific training or background knowledge. The most important component in therapy is the alliance between therapist and client, and this alliance can exist between individuals with very different backgrounds.
How can I find an LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
You may wish to inquire about a therapist’s expertise with your specific challenges or concerns—depression, for example, or relationship strife—as well as their past experiences treating LGBTQ+ clients. Prospective clients may also ask whether a therapist has obtained additional training and/or certification in LGBTQ-affirmative techniques.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience with LGBTQ issues?
Prospective clients should feel empowered to directly ask therapists whether they have received training or been certified in LGBTQ-affirming therapy; competent therapists will be happy to explain their educational background and preferred approach(es) to help a client find the best match for them. Clients may also wish to ask how a therapist has treated clients with their particular challenges in the past and what they expect treatment to look like.
Are all the therapists listed in the LGBTQ directory themselves members of the LGBTQ community?
While therapists may choose to disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity in their profiles, the LGBTQ directory features not only those who have shared this information but also those who assert specialised training or experience in providing support to queer individuals, couples or families.
