Looking for therapy - advice needed!

Hi all, I am a 22 year old gay, transgender man. I lost my beloved partner almost three weeks ago through suicide, I am looking to start therapy to help me some to terms with his sudden and incredibly tragic loss, I would really appreciate any websites, recommendations or guidance as to where you recommend looking for therapy of this nature. I am based in London, and would love someone who can understand queer relationships and grief. thank you <3

Hello @blake7,

Thank you for reaching out. I am so sorry to hear about your partner.

Sue Ryder offer free Online Bereavement Counselling with qualified grief counsellors. The sessions are held online via video chat.

You might also find this list of therapists on Gendered Intelligence helpful:

I know that lots of our members who have been bereaved by suicide have found Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide (Sobs) to be really supportive, too.

The community is here for you as well :blue_heart: I hope you find the support that you need.

Take good care,
Seaneen

Hi Blake7
I’m so sorry for your loss. You can find a lot of help online just by doing a search and it’s worth reading other posts on here as often other people’s experiences will resonate with you. The thing to remember is that although it may feel like it sometimes you really are not alone. Someone somewhere is going through similar grief and there are people who really understand your pain.

I wish you much strength in this difficult time.
