While it is natural to feel that you may be able to communicate better with someone of a particular gender, opposite gender therapists can be very beneficial at helping you see the other side of a situation. Some female clients may be weary of seeing a male counsellor, and then find it to be very helpful. After a few sessions, if you are still feeling uncomfortable, a referral can be made to another counsellor outside of this service.
