Sussex Rainbow Counselling - Chloe Foster
About the Therapist
Hi, I'm Chloe.
As a Queer, Non-binary person I have personal experience of how it can feel to be judged by professionals. It is very important to me that you don't feel judged and that you find a counsellor who understands your identity. ​I'm passionate about helping LGBTQ+ people - like you - have affirmative counselling which is why I founded Sussex Rainbow Counselling in 2016.​ I believe it's essential to not have to worry about coming out and educating your counsellor about your identity.
With over 12 years’ experience supporting LGBTQ+ people, I am also an Accredited Therapist in Gender, Sexual and Relationship Diversity.
What happens next? When you first get in touch, I invite you to have an introductory session. This gives you the chance to meet me and find out more about how I can help you. Check out my availability and book your introductory session here >>> www.sussexrainbowcounselling.com/book-online

Testimonials
"Chloe is a terrific listener and helped guide me towards constructive reflection and my ability to resolve my own issues. We worked by analysing the conflicts, then looked at what I needed to prioritise personally."  "It was great – absolutely right style. Subtle pointers so I could leave each sessions with some insight into what to reflect on"
"I highly recommend Chloe's ability – Chloe established a sense of trust and safety which was precisely what I needed and I did not at any time feel negative after each session. I feel as a result very much improved in my mental state (after only approximately 10 sessions or so)."
"I identify as trans/questioning/gender queer. After many years of confusion and denial about who I was I had only recently started being honest with myself about my situation and also had only just started coming out to family and friends at the beginning of this year. At the start of my sessions I was still unsure about where I fitted in as a person. Sessions with Chloe helped give me the space and time to focus more clearly on my situation and issues I needed to address. Through Chloe’s support I was often able to find answers myself that not only have helped me as a person who identifies as trans, but also life in general. I have taken so many positive steps over the past 6 months that I thought I would never take, and I know sessions with Chloe played a key part in taking those steps."
"I just wanted to say thank you again for your help/support as a counsellor over the past 6 months. It really has helped me move on a lot quicker that I thought was possible."
