Asexuality in the therapy room

🖤🩶🤍💜

Queerness (and therapy!) can be about living creatively, and that includes creating ways of relating to others that suits who we really are. If you’re asexual, you are welcome to bring your experiences to my room.

We don’t have to talk about your identity unless you want to, but your identity is welcome and supported here. 

Here are some areas we could explore if you want:

😌 What does a balanced life look like to you?

🏃‍♀️‍➡️ What has your journey been like? 

😣 What’s been stressful lately? How do you feel your feelings?

😕 Do you want to process experiences of ace marginalisation? Perhaps you’ve encountered judgement or dismissiveness from others; perhaps lack of representation has felt difficult. In my therapy, you can unpack your feelings in a supportive, nonjudgmental place.

🫱🏾‍🫲🏼 Would you like to discuss reaching out to community? This can involve considering resources and connection, and exploring support in the community.

🤔 Do you want a partner or partners, or does that not feel right for you? What would you like your connections to look like?

🗣️ How, and to whom, do you want to communicate your needs surrounding your choices, friendships and/or relationships, and the future? 

These are a few ideas, but we can talk about anything you want to. If you’d like to work with an ace informed counsellor, I offer a free 15 minute intro session where you can get to know me and work out if I’m the right therapist for you. To find out more and book online, visit cosytherapy.com

Warmth and wishes ✨
