''My counsellor really understood my struggles. I am part of the LGBTQ+ community so I was afraid that my counsellor would judge me. But they were very accommodating and supportive. I always feel better after my sessions with my counsellor. It has helped me navigate tough times in my life. I don’t feel so alone.''
