Learn about our therapy services from our founder, Dr Alastair Pipkin
Are you an LGBTQ+ person facing challenges with your mental health?
Perhaps you're feeling the effects of stigma, discrimination, or struggling to feel accepted in your relationships, community or workplace.
Maybe you feel isolated, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward.
At Unlock Psychology Ltd, our LGBTQ+ affirming therapists offer safe, confidential and specialist mental health support for gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans and non-binary clients. We help you explore your identity, improve wellbeing, and feel more empowered in daily life.
We offer both in-person LGBTQ+ therapy in Warwickshire and online sessions across the UK.
Compassionate, effective, LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy
Our LGBTQ+ therapists in Warwickshire and online offer specialist, inclusive therapy for the LGBTQ+ community. With experience in NHS, academic, and private practice settings, our clinical psychologists understand the diverse challenges our clients face.
We provide affirmative therapy that supports your identity, values and lived experience. Whether you're navigating shame, trauma, gender identity, or relationship stress, we offer expert support rooted in empathy.
Many of our team identify as LGBTQ+ or are deeply informed allies. We understand how discrimination, minority stress, and non-traditional relationships (such as consensual non-monogamy or kink) can impact mental health.
We’re also experienced in helping clients who are exploring their gender identity or seeking gender-affirming therapy — you can learn more about that here.
Whether you're looking for LGBTQ+ counselling in Leamington Spa, therapy for sexuality-related distress, or simply a space to be heard without judgment — we’re here.
