At Soundminds, we recognize the unique emotional challenges faced by individuals in the LGBTQ+ community. Whether it’s the stress of coming out, identity exploration, societal pressures, relationship concerns, or discrimination, our LGBTQ+ counselling services offer a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you are truly seen, heard, and accepted.
Led by Ms. Sadiya Qureshi, an experienced Consultant Psychologist, our sessions are tailored to affirm your identity and empower you with tools to navigate emotional struggles. We understand that mental health care is not one-size-fits-all. That’s why we use evidence-based approaches like CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), REBT (Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy), and affirmative counseling techniques that address the specific needs of LGBTQ+ individuals.
You don’t have to face your journey alone. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, family rejection, internalized homophobia, or relationship conflicts, our goal is to help you build self-esteem, resilience, and a strong sense of self-worth. We also offer counseling support for partners, families, and parents who are seeking to understand and support their loved ones in the LGBTQ+ community.
Confidentiality and empathy are at the heart of our practice. Every session is a judgment-free zone where you can express yourself freely and work through any emotional challenges at your own pace. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where every identity — lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, non-binary, or questioning — is respected and celebrated.
In addition to individual therapy, we also offer workshops, group sessions, and awareness programs to foster community support and emotional well-being. Our holistic approach focuses on not just coping strategies but also on helping you thrive in your personal, academic, and professional life.
At Soundminds, we believe mental health care should affirm your identity and support your journey. LGBTQ+ counselling is not just about healing — it’s about self-discovery, empowerment, and embracing your truth without fear.
