Manchester LGBTQ+ Relationship Counselling ~ Lancashire Queer Therapy

Lancashire Counselling for LGBT Relationships

The Original Plan – to Relocate an Established Service

So LGBT Couple Counselling is operated by specialist counsellor, me (Dean Richardson MNCPS (Accred/Reg)), educated, employed & resident in Manchester during the 1980s to late 1990s.

I’m still a Proud Mancunian and was a frequenter of the Mancunian Gay Village (Canal Street) until the early 2000s when I moved down south (boo!). I’ve lived and worked in Rusholme (past the myriad of curry houses!), Fallowfield, Wythenshawe and West Didsbury.

Some time after moving South, I qualified as an integrated psychodynamic / systemic couples counsellor. Subsequently,I founded the service: LGBT Couple Counselling to address the specific needs of gay men, lesbian women, bisexual and mixed-sexuality LGBT/Q in log-distance relationships (hence the video counselling aspect). I wanted to provide a non-heteronormative relationship counselling service that addressed those struggling with conflicts (sometimes everyday conflicts; not always those with sexuality at its core).

Before the 2019 health situation hit us in the UK, I was looking at plans to re-established these Counselling Services centering my consultation rooms near to the Manchester Gay Village, Greater Manchester, Lancashire. Due to costs of locating in the village, though, the more likely place for hosting these offices would be within CBT Manchester (https://CBTTherapyManchester.co.uk/) – only 4 miles (20 minutes by car) from the Gay Village itself.

Plans to expand face-to-face counselling for LGBTQ+ Couples & Intimate Groups are on hold for the time being (like… for major worldwide catastrophe reasons… duh!).

In the meantime, Counselling Services remain exclusively available to LGBT/Q+ via the technology you already have at home. You can work with Dean successfully using Zoom & Skype.

Available today! You and your partner(s) could be working together in counselling by next week.
