Our Vision
Our Mission
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 for explanation of life choices or to be in a fear of judgement when working with a therapist from Identity Space. We believe in advocating a freedom to be yourself and we hope for a world without the discrimination we still see.
We believe in the transformative power of being part of the community ourselves and that we are able to have a unique insight into some of the unique challenges you may be facing. We have had feedback that this supports people to relax into expressing themselves, and that they feel safer to talk about what they are thinking or feeling.
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 and provide inclusive support in a safe and welcoming environment.
Our team of LGBTQIA+ mental health counsellors, mentors and therapists are committed to ensuring every person feels heard, understood, and valued throughout and feel empowered to be themselves.
