The Rainbow Couch is an online counselling and psychotherapy service that is easily accessible from the privacy of your own home. It offers 3 options of online sessions: via Skype with webcam, via Skype/phone without webcam, or via Skype (typed) chat. It sets the threshold of therapy at a level that you feel comfortable with and allows you to move up a level if and when you�re ready. It welcomes and respects cultural diversity and provides tolerant, inclusive and accepting lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and heterosexual therapy. I am Ronete Cohen MA and I am an openly bisexual woman who offers affirmative LGBT therapy. I am an experienced therapist who has worked extensively with both adults and adolescents. In therapy sessions I use a flexible combination of counselling techniques according to your unique needs as an individual at any given moment in time. I make a point of never forgetting that even within the identities that seem to define us we are still as unique and complex as fingerprints. Whether you�re in or out of the closet, I respect your choices and beliefs, never forcing you in a direction that you are not ready for. I don’t have pre-set ideas about how you should live your life: I help you make the right choices for you.
