BACP-registered online psychotherapy for gay men is available across Europe — in Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Belgium, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Greece, Cyprus, and most other European countries. All sessions are conducted via secure video call in English.

The framework is built around minority stress theory, attachment, and the specific psychological territory gay men navigate regardless of which European country they live in. The closet does not produce different psychological effects in Madrid than it does in Amsterdam. The hypervigilance, the intimacy patterns, the internalised shame — these are structural, not national.
