Our psychologists at Visegrádi street center

LMBTQ counseling is an accepting, non-judgmental space where you can freely talk about identity, relationships, and everything else that poses a challenge in everyday life.

Many people think that coming out is a single momentous event, but in reality it is a lifelong process. At every new workplace, in every new circle of friends, and in every new relationship, we have to decide again how much of ourselves we want to share. This constant weighing up can be emotionally exhausting, especially when the environment is not always supportive.

Members of the LMBTQ community often face minority stress, which is a constant psychological burden resulting from everyday prejudice, fear of rejection, discrimination, or internal doubts. This stress can have a long-term impact on mental health, personal relationships, and self-esteem.

We take an accepting and supportive approach to counseling. Our goal is to help you find the inner strength that allows you to live safely, joyfully, and with self-acceptance, while effectively managing everyday challenges. This space provides an opportunity for everyone to be authentically present, following their own path.

Counseling is always tailored to individual needs and pace. During the first few sessions, we explore the challenges the client is facing and what their most important goals are. Based on this, we work together to determine the direction of further steps, which may include emotional support, solving specific problems, or strengthening self-acceptance. The process can be short and focused on a few sessions, or it can be a longer, deeper journey of self-discovery. It is extremely important that every step is safe and personalized.

During counseling, clients can also learn practical tools, such as communication techniques or self-help methods, which they can use in their everyday lives.

LMBTQ counseling is based on acceptance, respect, and curiosity.

LMBTQ counseling is based on acceptance, respect, and curiosity. The professional does not question the validity of identity, does not seek to change it, but supports the individual in living a self-authentic, full life. The affirmative approach means that identity is a valuable part of who someone is, and the goal of counseling is to reinforce this.

There is no need to explain, defend, or hide ourselves. It is a space where every story, feeling, and question has a place, and where we can find together the anchors that promote a strong, proud, and balanced life.

Every person deserves to live in a safe, authentic, and loving environment. Counseling is not just about dealing with difficulties, but also about strengthening the awareness that you have a place in the world and are valuable just as you are. The path to living authentically is often challenging, but you don’t have to walk it alone. The right support can not only make this journey easier, but also make the process of change truly liberating.
