We empower individuals from diverse backgrounds to overcome their unique challenges and facilitate healing and personal growth with specialized counseling from a qualified queer therapist.

At Bent Couch, we understand the unique paths of the LGBTQIA+ community. Our founder, Shaun Williams, a distinguished member of the LGBTQIA+ community, brings over 18 years of dedication in the Australian healthcare system to Bent Couch Counselling. Shaun’s personal journey of identifying as gay later in life brings a unique, empathetic perspective to his counseling approach, resonating deeply with those navigating similar paths. With a focus on fostering mental health and positive change within the LGBTIQA+ community, particularly for individuals identifying as male, Shaun’s expertise and experience create a safe, respectful environment for individuals to connect, share, and build a community of understanding and support.
Bent Couch Counselling is committed to embracing diversity and eliminating all forms of discrimination in providing mental health services. We welcome all individuals regardless of ethnicity, lifestyle choice, faith, sexual orientation, or gender identity. Everyone is welcome on our couch, where they can experience expert LGBTQIA+ counseling for a brighter tomorrow and find a safe space to talk.
