Hello

Identity Space is dedicated to providing inclusive and empathetic LGBTQIA+ counselling services for all. With hubs in Stroud, Cheltenham, and Gloucester, we offer a safe space for adults and young people to explore their identity, sexuality, gender, queerness, and/or living in diverse relationships.  There is no need to explain your life choices or fear judgment when working with a therapist from Identity Space.  We believe in advocating for the freedom to be yourself, and we hope for a world without discrimination. 

 

We believe in the transformative power of being part of the community ourselves and that we can offer unique insights into some of the challenges you may face.  We have received feedback that this supports people in relaxing and expressing themselves, and that they feel safer discussing their thoughts and feelings with us, knowing that we also stand somewhere under the LGBTQIA+ umbrella ourselves.  

​

We are caring professionals, all with a variety of skills to help us to support people in the way that suits them and what they individually need. We are qualified to support any general and more complex mental health challenges.  This may be through mentoring, creative therapies, via counselling and/or in group workshops. 

 

Our mission as a team of mental health counsellors, mentors and therapists is to share our commitment that every person using our service feels heard, understood, and valued throughout, and that they feel empowered to be themselves.
