About Us
For far too many in the LGBTQ+ community, facing mental health challenges can feel like a solitary struggle. The need for accessible and understanding support has never been more critical. In Wales, LGBTQ+ individuals are often disproportionately affected by mental health issues, compounded by isolation and barriers to inclusive care.
For over 21 years, Progress Cymru Counselling (the operating name of the LGBT+ Cymru Helpline) has been a cornerstone of support for the LGBTQ+ community in Wales. As a registered charity (1198081), our goal has remained constant to provide accessible, affirming, and high-quality counselling and support, ensuring our community feels seen, heard and valued. We are proud to be a Living Wage Employer, a commitment that reflects our core values of dignity and respect for all.
Our long-standing commitment to excellence is demonstrated by our recent achievements in gaining both the Trusted Charity Standard and the Information and Advice Quality (IAQ) Framework accreditation. These achievements build on our two decades of service and underscore our robust governance, operational excellence, and our dedication to the highest standards of impact.
