storiES of hope

When I lost my partner of 30 years, I felt completely alone. Mental health services didn’t understand what it meant to be an older gay man, and I felt invisible, and I couldn’t avoid private therapy. Then I found Queerwell. Their free, LGBTQ+-affirming therapy gave me the support I needed. Now, I’m rebuilding my confidence and finding joy again.
Therapy client
I am a young Black non-binary person; I have faced so much judgment and discrimination—it made me feel like I would never succeed. But when I joined a free group coaching session with Queerwell, I learned how to overcome my self-limiting beliefs. Now, I finally feel partway ready to step into the job market.
Learning Space workshop attendee
I am a trans woman, I often feel unheard—even in LGB spaces—and the negativity online just adds to my isolation. But at a Queerwell Learning Space workshop, I met people of all ages who truly listened to me. For the first time in a while, I felt like I belonged. My only wish? That it lasted longer.

Why QUEERWELL?

1. We address an Urgent Need

We respond to a critical gap in mental health services, particularly for LGBTQ+ individuals. With public and LGBTQ+ sector resources overstretched, we offer timely and specialised support to meet the growing demand.

2. We offer Innovative, Inclusive Support

We provide a unique range of services that recognise the diverse needs of our community. Whether someone is seeking their first step into mental health support or looking for tailored resources, our innovative approach ensures a welcoming experience.

3. We offer Professional & Compassionate Care

Our services are delivered by fully qualified, accredited, and experienced mental health professionals.

4. We are LGBTQ+ Focused and Community-Led

Queerwell is rooted in the LGBTQ+ community. Our work is delivered in queer-affirmative spaces by LGBTQ+ professionals, in partnership with charities, workplaces, and community organisations.

5. We are Accessible Nationwide

We are committed to reaching LGBTQ+ individuals wherever they are. With both online and offline services, we operate across the UK, delivering support in charities, community hubs, and workplaces.

6. We champion Equity and Inclusion

We prioritise accessibility for those who need it most. Recognising that the best mental health support is often unaffordable or unavailable, we focus on reaching marginalised LGBTQ+ individuals, particularly those facing intersecting forms of discrimination.

7. We are sustainable & community-focussed

Our model emphasises sustainability and financial prudence:• A small core team collaborates with specialised providers to deliver key programs.
• Services are hosted within established community settings to reduce costs.
• Our “access and donate” model enables those who can afford to contribute to support free or low-cost services for others.
