Find support as you walk your path

 

Vanessa McConnell is passionate about supporting LGBTQ2S+ communities and other folks exploring non-conforming lifestyles and identities. For adults exploring their gender identity or sexual orientation, Vanessa is very comfortable working with questions related to LGBTQ2S+ issues and identities. She can support you as you navigate those questions for yourself.

If you’re confident in your identity and orientation but looking for a queer-friendly counsellor, she would love to hear from you.

What to expect at an appointment

All appointments are delivered online or by phone, but you can expect the same approach as an in-person appointment. Counselling sessions with Vanessa are co-created. You’ll help shape and focus the discussions as Vanessa draws from different therapies to support you in working toward your goals.

You can find more detailed information on the General and Virtual Counselling FAQ pages.

Individual and couples counselling

If you’re facing challenges in your relationship, it can be tough to know whether individual or couples/relationship counselling would be most beneficial. If you’re wondering which kind of appointment to book, start where you’re most comfortable. Vanessa can begin working with you as an individual, and if there is partner work that would help, she can see you together.
