Mosaic has a great team of very passionate and friendly counsellors whom all identify as lesbian, gay, bi or trans so you can be sure that you will be understood. Counselling is a psychological, structured process, safe and confidential, that helps you better understand your emotions and build coping strategies against adversities. The goal for counselling is to promote self-understanding and self-acceptance.
It can be difficult to understand the difference between counselling and mentoring and the way we explain it at Mosaic is that counselling helps you with understanding your own emotions like sadness, anger or shame and past experiences like loss or abuse, providing you with effective emotional tools strategies to better manage your life; and mentoring helps you to better manage present practical issues you may encounter, like in relationships, family or school.
