ONLINE AND IN PERSON
LGBTQ+ Counselling Across Australia
Talk with a therapist who understands queer life without making you explain the basics first.
Tribe Wellness offers online LGBTQ+ counselling to adults anywhere in Australia, with in-person sessions also available in Surry Hills, Sydney. Josh Feeney, is a PACFA-registered counsellor and psychotherapist who has spent more than a decade working within Australia’s queer community.
You should not have to translate your life before therapy can begin
Coming out, at any stage of life, to any person
Identity exploration: sexual orientation, gender identity, or both
Navigating relationships, dating, and intimacy as a queer person
Family rejection or complicated family dynamics
Minority stress, discrimination, and the slow exhaustion of code-switching
Anxiety, depression, or burnout with a queer context that a general therapist keeps missing
Processing experiences of homophobia
Loneliness or isolation from queer community
A first counselling session should be a chance to talk about what is happening for you. It should not be spent defining your identity, explaining queer culture or wondering whether your therapist truly understands the context around your experiences.
Tribe Wellness provides online LGBTQ+ counselling for queer adults across Australia, including Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Hobart and regional communities. Wherever you are joining from, you can access support that feels informed, respectful and human.
Josh’s understanding comes from professional practice and more than a decade spent organising, participating in and contributing to Australia’s queer community. You can begin with the issue that brought you here, rather than starting with a lesson in terminology.
Common reasons LGBTQ+ adults seek counselling:
Sessions are shaped around what you want to work through and what feels manageable at the time. You may arrive with one clear concern, or with a sense that several parts of life have become difficult to separate. Both are valid places to begin.
Josh draws on counselling, psychotherapy and somatic body-aware therapeutic practices according to your needs. The process is collaborative, paced with care and focused on helping you understand patterns, make sense of your responses and find ways forward that feel like your own.
Our approach to LGBTQ+ counselling
There is no single LGBTQ+ experience, so there is no standard script for LGBTQ+ counselling at Tribe Wellness.
Why choose Tribe Wellness?
Many therapists describe their practice as LGBTQ+ affirming. Feeling accepted matters, yet acceptance alone does not always mean your therapist understands the social, family and cultural pressures that may shape your experience.
Less explaining, more time for you
You can speak naturally about your relationships, identity, family, community and experiences. You will not be expected to teach your therapist the language or context needed to understand you.
Qualified and professionally registered
Josh Feeney is a PACFA-registered counsellor and psychotherapist. No GP referral or Mental Health Treatment Plan is required to book.
Support from wherever you are
Online sessions are available across Australia through secure telehealth. You can join from a private space at home, without travel or a waiting room. In-person appointments are also available in Surry Hills, Sydney.
