Get to know this service
Progress Cymru Counselling, operating name of the LGBTQIA+ Cymru Helpline, provides confidential support and counselling for LGBTQIA+ people and allies. Its qualified counsellors help with relationships, family issues, bereavement, sexual orientation and gender identity, including family transitioning counselling, as well as stress, anxiety and emotional issues.
The organisation offers face-to-face counselling in Swansea, alongside Zoom and telephone sessions, on a sliding scale so people pay what they can afford. It also runs a Wellbeing Hub with self-paced workshops, available on a donation basis.
The charity began in 2004 as a telephone helpline before introducing counselling services, and later co-founded GoodVibes, an LGBTQIA+ youth group, with YMCA Swansea.
