Mental Health Issues

People who are in LGBT relationship may have special challenges when it comes to adjusting and coping with mental health issues. The LGBT population have often experienced the struggle of being made to feel different from others, which can frequently be a cause for anxiety, stress, depression and fear. They not only carry emotional burdens but can also face discrimination from society. LGBT individuals may feel isolated and afraid to seek help for LGBT counselling, not knowing if they will find a space to feel accepted in. LGBT individuals may brave different social, cultural, religious and family challenges that are vastly different from the heteronormative culture in Singapore, making LGBT relationships challenging.

Coping with Stigma

When individuals fear being discriminated by others for their sexual orientation and gender identity, they often choose to lead a double life. This can cause stress from the burden of “keeping up appearances” in order to protect themselves from ridicule and rejection. These individuals feel alone and isolated. They experience guilt associated with hiding their true identities, which can also lead to the deterioration of relationship and family ties.<br><br>

People who face these challenges should seek counselling in order to determine whether they are best served by coming out as LGBT, or by remaining closeted. Sexual orientation and gender identity are private issues, but it is important to note that these attributes are not “illnesses” to be cured.

The Q in LGBTQ can also stand for questioning one’s sexual orientation or gender identity.
Our counsellors have been helping clients to deal with all of these issues.

We provide counselling services for clients who are questioning, realizing or confronting their sexual identity and gender orientation. We help clients come to terms with themselves as well as ones’ sexuality, and accept them for who they truly are..

It is extremely challenging for LGBTQ clients to speak up about their personal situation and feelings, especially in a conservative society like Singapore. Other issues include lack of acceptance from parents as well as siblings due to the seemingly closeted nature of these relationships. Clients question themselves over same-sex desire or gender dysphoria, which is accompanied by a high degree of emotional distress. .
