Affirming counselling in Brisbane and online
For LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, ENM/polyamorous, kink/BDSM and sex working people, and the relationships you build.
You don’t have to explain, defend or minimise who you are before support can begin.
I’m Julie Grucza, and I offer counselling for adults, couples and partners, and young people aged 14 and over. My practice is neurodiversity-affirming and LGBTQIA+ affirming, and I welcome monogamous, ENM and polyamorous relationships, kink/BDSM communities and sex workers, with no assumptions about how you should live or love.
Perhaps you and your partner keep having the same argument, feel disconnected, or struggle to rebuild trust. Perhaps you’re exhausted from masking, burnt out, or making sense of your identity. In relationship counselling, I draw on Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFCT) to understand the patterns between you and the feelings and needs beneath them. In individual sessions, we shape things around how you think and communicate, and you set the pace.
Come as you are: you do not need to explain, defend or minimise who you are before support can begin.
Who I work with
Couples and relationships: Monogamous, ENM and polyamorous partners looking to understand recurring patterns and reconnect.
ENM and polyamory: Support for opening, exploring or navigating non-monogamy.
LGBTQIA+: Affirming support for identity, relationships and belonging.
Neurodivergent adults: Sessions adapted to how you think, communicate and process.
Kink, BDSM and sex workers: Non-judgemental support for adults, with no assumptions.
Young people 14+ and parents: Information on counselling for young people, privacy and consent.
For identity, neurodivergence, shame, burnout, relationships, life transitions and self-understanding, request an individual session.
For recurring arguments, disconnection, trust concerns, intimacy or changes in your relationship, book a couples or relationship counselling session. Monogamous, ENM and polyamorous relationships are welcome, including LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent partners.

How sessions work
Sessions are available in person in Sherwood and Milton, via telehealth Australia-wide, or as walk-and-talk counselling. Your first session is a chance to get to know each other, with no need to have everything worked out.
