If you’re looking for a gay counsellor in Sydney who understands LGBTQIA+ life from both a professional and lived perspective, I offer individual counselling and psychotherapy in a private, welcoming setting in Newtown or online.

​​

Sessions always run on time and I limit myself to a maximum of four clients a day to ensure you receive my full focus and energy.

​

I’m Christopher James, a PACFA Registered Clinical Counsellor & Psychotherapist with more than 10 years’ experience. I work with adults across the LGBT+ community, with a particular focus on gay men’s mental health, relationships, trauma, ADHD and neurodivergence, anxiety, shame, intimacy and sexual wellbeing.​​

      

I regularly work with LGBTQIA+ adults around:

​

• Anxiety, depression and stress

• Relationship difficulties, betrayal and attachment

• ADHD and neurodivergence

• Trauma and distressing experiences

• EMDR therapy

• Shame and self-esteem

• Loneliness and belonging

• Coming out and identity

• Sex, intimacy and sexual wellbeing

• Chemsex and substance-related concerns

• Grief and loss

• Work, burnout and life transitions

A little bit about my experience (more available on SydneyCounsellor.org):

I first began studying psychology in 2001 and later worked for almost a decade as an educator and trainer. Since 2016 I have been supporting clients directly as a counsellor and psychotherapist. Altogether, I bring nearly 20 years of combined experience in psychology, education and mental health to my practice. Alongside professional training and clinical experience, I bring lived understanding of neurodivergence and the LGBTQIA+ community, which helps inform a practical, non-judgemental approach to therapy. This combination gives me a broad perspective and helps me connect authentically with Sydney’s LGBT community, offering a safe and inclusive space for growth and healing.​

​

I also offer wellness retreats and workshops for the LGBTIQA+ community through Inner Peace Wellness, combining yoga, breathwork and meditation in safe and inclusive spaces.
