About us
It's All About You Wellbeing (IAAYW) was established in 2008 by Max Cohen to enable people in South West England to find LGBTQ+ -affirmative counsellors and other wellbeing practitioners.
Since this time we have evolved and are very proud to announce that as of 9th April 2021we have become a Community Interest Company (CIC). This means that we have strengthened our commitment to providing support and resources to our clients and customers in ways that are meaningful to them. We'll be applying for funding and sponsorship over the coming months to enable this to happen.
We have three Directors (Max, Katherine and JC) alongside a fantastic group of enthusiastic Members who are all passionate about the social benefit that IAAYW can make to its beneficiaries, LGBTQ+ clients, family members, allies and the professionals who work with them.
