We are now based at the Broad Street Centre, in-between The Health Shop and Broadway Cinema on Broad Street, in Hockley.

You can talk to us about anything affecting your life as a gay or bisexual man, from "coming out" issues, to relationships, safer cruising and internet use, help in reporting homophobic violence, or see a counsellor. You can talk to us about HIV, safer sex, and sexual health. You can pick up condoms and lube, or get tested for HIV, Gonorrhoea, Chlamydia, Syphilis and Hepatitis B.
See our outreach team on the stall monthly at: AD2, New Foresters, Propaganda, Foundation, fuel, NG1, Pink. Come over and have a chat about anything to do with safer sex, relationships, coming out etc. Don’t be shy, come and say hello. Have your picture taken at the stall and maybe you’ll be added to our Gallery on the website.

Healthy Gay Nottingham are here to listen:

A period of counselling gives you the opportunity to look at things in more depth
Counselling may begin by focusing on specific areas such as:

• Sexuality
• Identity,
• Coming out,
• Self-esteem
• Anxieties
• Drug/alcohol

However this often broadens, giving you space to focus on yourself: what makes you the way you are; why you behave in certain ways; how to relate with others. This increased awareness may enable you to make some life changes, or get to know yourself better, in a supportive environment.
The amount of sessions you will have will be decided between you and your counsellor. This is a confidential service. Call us for an informal chat or make an appointment:
