Counselling services at Outhouse are free, friendly and confidential. First introduced in 2001, the counselling service has been increasingly in demand, resulting in a waiting time for services.

All individuals requesting counselling are seen first for one assessment to determine the type of involvement needed. In some cases persons are referred to other counsellors or services.

The counseling service, primarily for gay and bisexual men is also available to lesbian and bisexual women and transgender persons. Generally clients are seen at Outhouse or on certain days at Baggot St Hospital.
