Gender, sex and relationship diversity (GSRD) is a term used to describe the wide range of human experiences related to gender, sex and relationships. This includes people who identify as LGBTQIA+, or who may be polyamorous, kinky or any other identity that falls outside of traditional gender, sexuality & relationship norms.
LGBTQIA+ counselling can be a valuable resource for people who are exploring their gender identity, sexual orientation or relationship preferences. It can also be helpful if you are struggling with issues related to GSRD, such as discrimination, coming out, or family and relationship challenges.
