Pink Therapy was founded in 1999 in response to a lack of training and research into supporting LGBTQ+ people in therapy. Twenty-seven years on, we're still leading the way.
We exist because too many people are under-served by a mental health profession that can treat marginalised identities and experiences as an afterthought.
Since 1999, we've worked to improve mental health outcomes for our communities by connecting people with skilled, affirming therapists who understand LGBTQ+ identities and other marginalised experiences. We're here to help you access the respectful mental health support you deserve.
