Introducing people to themselves.
Hi, I’m Peter Hu.
I’m an SAC-registered professional counsellor, committed to providing a safe, non-judgmental space for all clients, including LGBTQ+ individuals seeking affirmation, understanding, and healing.
I believe therapy is rooted in genuine care and evidence-based approaches, helping you navigate life’s challenges, manage anxiety, process trauma, or work through relationship concerns. For those drawn to exploring their inner world, I also offer dream analysis and depth psychology, helping uncover unconscious patterns and foster profound personal growth.
Many of the people I work with are gay or queer men, including trans men, who move through workplaces, families, or faith communities where straight and cisgender are assumed to be the norm. You might be successful on paper yet still carry loneliness, shame, or a sense of not quite fitting anywhere.
I also work with high-functioning professionals and executives who are used to “holding it together” for everyone else. On the outside, you’re capable and composed. On the inside, you may be exhausted by the pressure to perform, second-guessing your decisions, or struggling to speak up in cishet-dominated environments where you already feel like the minority.
In your relationship, you might be in a committed partnership that looks stable, yet conversations about sex, boundaries, money, or the future keep stalling. Small misunderstandings snowball into distance or arguments. You both care, but old patterns and unspoken fears keep getting in the way of a closer, more honest connection.
And perhaps, like many men, you’ve had moments where you wanted to open up but stopped yourself:
You think, “If I say this, it won’t be taken well… what’s the point? Nothing’s going to change anyway.”
So you swallow it, make a joke, pour a drink, stay out late, dive into work, or numb out with porn or social media. It works for a while—until it doesn’t.
Therapy with me is an invitation to do something different: to slow down, make sense of what’s really going on inside, and relate to yourself with more honesty and compassion. Together, we can untangle what’s keeping you stuck, so that your life, work, sexuality, and relationships feel more congruent with who you are becoming.
If you’re ready to begin your journey toward clarity, healing, and self-understanding, I’d be honoured to meet you.
