On September 3 Terrence Higgins Trust (THT) is launching 'Connect' a new low cost counselling service, based in King's Cross, aimed at gay or bisexual men.

The service allows men to explore difficulties or challenges in their lives, make sense of experiences and find solutions or coping mechanisms when faced with problems.

Each session lasts 50 minutes and THT is able to offer courses ranging from a few sessions to 12 or more. Fees are based on income and range from £25 to £40. Couples sessions which cost £50 can also be booked so partners can explore issues together.

Christine Mead, Manager of THTs Wellbeing Services said "Many people find that talking to someone about their lives can help them to make positive changes. Counselling sessions can be used to discuss anything from problems at home or work, to drug or alcohol use or sexual risk taking. If there's something you'd like to discuss please get in touch."

THT has over 25 years experience of working with gay and bisexual men and its trained counsellors are sympathetic and non judgemental. If you feel you would benefit from 'Connect' counselling, please call 020 7812 1777 to make an appointment, or email info.counselling@tht.org.uk

The sessions will take place at: Terrence Higgins Trust, 314-320 Gray's Inn Road, London, WC1X 8DP.
