Relationship Coaching can help. By working one-on-one or in a group program with an LGBT relationship coach, you can develop the skills you need to have healthier and more meaningful connections and successful, lasting, intimate relationships.
The LGBT relationship coaches listed here all have had coach training, all identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender, and all want to support relationship success in the GLBT community.
Some have more in depth experience and training as relationship experts, and in working with LGBT specific issues than others. As with any professional service, it’s up to you to screen and select the person best for you.
