Our Inclusive Therapy Offer

Finding therapy as an LGBTQ+ person can be difficult when services don’t fully understand identity, shame, trauma, or the impact of discrimination. At Fighting Fear, we offer Queer-affirming, trauma-informed and intersectional therapy for LGBTQ+ people in Manchester, providing a space where your identity is understood, respected, and central to the work.

Therapy for LGBTQ+ people
in Manchester

 

We support LGBTQ+ people navigating anxiety, trauma, identity conflict, relationships, family rejection, and the long-term impact of discrimination. Many of the people we work with have had experiences of therapy where they felt unseen, misunderstood, or forced to explain themselves.

Our approach is different. We work from an understanding that your identity is not separate from your mental health—it is part of the context that shapes it.

Our Queer and Ally Therapists

 

At Fighting Fear, our core team of experienced therapists offer Queer-affirming, trauma-informed and intersectional support tailored to your needs. This includes a range of approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Art Therapy, counselling, and coaching.

​

We work across languages and cultural contexts, supporting clients from diverse backgrounds to access therapy that feels relevant, accessible, and affirming. Our approach is not one-size-fits-all—we adapt the work to you, your identity, and your lived experience.

​

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, identity, or relationships, we aim to create a space where you don’t have to explain or minimise who you are.

​

Our Free and Low Cost Inclusive Therapy Programme

​

You can access up to 8 sessions of Queer affirming therapy through our 5-tier sliding scale:

Tier 1 — FREE therapy


Tier 2 — £10 per session

Therapy is delivered by our new generation of trainee therapists, offering trauma-informed and intersectional care, and supported by a rigorous, multi-layered supervision structure ensuring safety, accountability, and high-quality practice throughout.

 

Sessions are one hour, fully online, and arranged at a time that works for you.

LGBTQ+ therapy in Manchester that connects you to wider support

 

Manchester has a large and diverse LGBTQ+ community, but finding support that truly understands your identity can still be difficult. Many people come to therapy not just for space to talk, but to make sense of what support exists and where they fit.

 

At Fighting Fear, we don’t believe in working in isolation. Alongside therapy, we can help you identify and navigate LGBTQ+ affirming spaces, communities, and services in Manchester that align with your needs.

​

Even where we’re not the right fit, we aim to support you in moving towards the kind of care and connection that feels right for you—so you’re not left figuring it out alone.
