A message from Charlotte

Welcome, you matter here.

Welcome to a space where there are no 'shoulds' and where we get to make our own rules. Let's shed your shame and honour your own unique journey. 

Welcome to a therapy practice where your therapist 'gets it'. 


All of us have personal experience feeling different, misunderstood and oppressed. 


Welcome to safety. It's our priority to create and uphold safe spaces, relationships and conversations. 


Welcome to a therapeutic space where you are celebrated and valued. 

Let's create a genuine, authentic and positive relationship between you and your therapist! Our therapists are collaborative, comfortable and grounded in their approach. 


Welcome to the first step in what we hope will be a meaningful therapeutic journey! We are humbled to be walking alongside you. 


Thanks for being here.

PSC is here to support you along the way

Individuals, Couples & Families

Coming out to yourself can be the most complex thing we attempt to unpack. Often we are faced with confusion around what it means to be a part of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and where we fit! Our 2SLGBTQIA+ consulting services are an opportunity for you to explore more aspects of yourself. This is also an opportunity to ask questions for understanding and solidarity around other members in your new community! 


Coming out to your family or having a child, partner or sibling come out to you, while it is an amazing opportunity for honest and authentic dialogue, sometimes it just doesn’t go as planned. It is often an exchange that is highly emotionally charged and that too often causes hurt. The root to this hurt can be projection, confusion, denial, misinformation, guilt, shame, expectations etc. 


Unfortunately, finding a safe place to ask questions about yourself and others can be challenging - this is where we come in! 


We offer support to anyone experiencing the above dynamics. We use an anti-oppressive, trauma-informed approach that includes a combination of peer support, education, mediation and most importantly affirmation! Despite how complex and heavy these conversations can be, showing up for yourself and/or family deserves recognition!
