The Steve Retson Project offers a full counselling service for gay and bisexual men. This allows men to talk freely and openly about themselves in conditions of strict confidence, with a professionally trained counsellor.
The role of a counsellor is to be supportive but to give little or no direct advice since the aim is to help the individual develop insights into their problems. This is achieved by building a relationship with each person increasing trust. Counsellors also aim to help each individual draw on their own strengths enabling a greater understanding of themselves and what is happening in their lives.
