I certainly used to be, but for a long time, didn’t understand what it was.
For many LGBTQ+ people, past experiences with rejection, discrimination, or identity invalidation make it difficult to say ‘no’ or assert personal needs.
You might feel pressure to please others, hide parts of yourself, or overextend emotionally. In therapy, we work together to identify these patterns and gently challenge them.
Setting boundaries isn’t about pushing people away—it’s about honouring your own values, space, and comfort.
You deserve space for your own voice, needs, and wellbeing. Together, we can explore how to move from pleasing others to living authentically.
Setting healthy boundaries is an essential part of emotional well-being, especially within the LGBTQ+ community.
Boundaries help define where you end and others begin—they protect your mental health, foster respect in relationships, and promote a strong sense of self.
Whether it’s with family, friends, work, or romantic relationships, healthy boundaries create clarity and safety.
They help you recognise what’s yours to carry—and what isn’t. We’ll explore communication strategies, practice assertiveness, and build confidence in expressing your limits.
At my practice, I create a supportive, affirming space to empower you to stand firm in your truth. You deserve relationships where your identity is respected, and your needs are heard.
Learning to set boundaries is not only an act of self-care—it’s a vital step toward healing and thriving.
