Why Bent Couch?
Discover the difference with our gay counsellor, Shaun Williams, whose unique journey in the LGBTQIA+ community, combined with professional expertise, brings a deeply empathetic and insightful approach to counselling.
As a gay dad himself, Shaun started Bent Couch Counselling in Melbourne initially as a beacon for the gay male community’s mental health needs, with a focus on gay dads.
Today, our doors are open even wider, welcoming individuals of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities and age ranges. Experience counselling that resonates with your unique experiences.
Your journey towards healing and empowerment is one conversation away.
Testimonials
“Shaun has been invaluable to me in my journey to be the real and happy me. He follows up to be sure I’m doing okay and to offer assistance should I need it. He is responsible for a large support network where people like me can connect and not feel alone. I HIGHLY recommend him.” — Ray
Shaun has helped me through several personal issues dealing with my children, my grandchildren and the rest of my family. With his support I have had the strength to confront some really strong issues, including the fact that my youngest grandson is gay, and I was able to help him come out and keep support from the family at age 15.” — Cary
