Why “Gay” Couple Counselling?
As gay people, we live our lives via a similar but distinctly different rules to heterosexual people.
We work with heterosexual people, most of us have heterosexual friends, but our lives are mostly not in a heterosexual society:
- We have to go through a coming-out process for our intimate relationships to be recognised
- We don’t necessarily have monogamy at the centre of our intimate relationships.
- We can’t always fill in those forms where it asks us if we’re married or not (only two choices?) – or when society doesn’t recognise our particular living arrangements.
- Our attentions are not necessarily turned to buy that car advertised by a nearly-naked woman making suggestions towards the male-customer; we’re gay people living in a mostly-heteronormative society.
Gay men and lesbian woman have a distinct right to happy relationships – and we are just as much at risk of relationship-conflicts as are any other couple. GayCoupleCounselling.com provides a friendly, helpful and professional service to help and support gay relationships in conflict.
Trust your partnership with our knowledge, understanding and positive-help towards gay couple relationships.

Benefits of Zoom for Counselling

- Working with your partner via Zoom with a qualified & experienced gay couples counsellor can be an appropriate therapy for your relationship problems.
- The same therapeutic boundaries are maintained: time boundaries, session schedule’s and working practices.
Using Zoom
Most couples prefer to use two devices (eg 2 x computers, a computer and a Zoom-enabled Smart Phone etc…) but if the couple can tolerate to sit very close to each other then a single Zoom camera will suffice; the couple need to be able to look at each other from time to time The choice to use one or two Zoom devices is yours, though.
Confidentiality & Zoom Video Conference.
Zoom has a position on confidentiality which may effect some couples’ decision to participate in Zoom video conference couple counselling – a version of Microsoft’s is here: https://www.zoom.com/en/trust/privacy/privacy-statement/
Time Differences
Zoom couple counselling can be ideal for remote/Long-distant relationships – but we will have to manage any time-differences.
Outside-of-session Contact.
It is sometimes necessary to make contact with the counsellor outside of the sessions (e.g. to cancel or rearrange an appointment). When emailing Dean, best practice is to CC your partner in the email. Unless it has been agreed otherwise by everyone, individual contact with Dean without the knowledge of the partner is not advisable, but we will manage this as far as possible should it become necessary.
Whilst attempting to engage in contact beyond the time-boundaries and therapy-boundaries is discouraged, we will manage situations as they arise.
