Does being an openly lesbian counsellor impact working with lesbian clients: A different perspective on self-disclosure

I am looking for any openly lesbian counsellors who have experience in counselling lesbian clients.

About the Researcher: Hi, my name is Ellie, and I’m a counselling student studying for a BA Hons in Integrative Counselling at New City College.

About the Research: I am exploring counselling lesbian clients from the perspective of openly lesbian counsellors.

What to expect: Your participation would involve taking part in a recorded semi-structured interview on Microsoft Teams. The interview will consist of ten questions, which you will be emailed a week before, and will last up to one hour. The recording will be transcribed, all personal details will be kept confidential, and data will be anonymised. You are not required to use your real name or have your camera on during the interview.

This research is for you if:

• You are a qualified UK-based counsellor
• You are registered with a professional body
• You identify as a lesbian
• You have experience working with clients who identify as lesbian
