FAQ
Common questions.
Do I need to be 'visibly queer' to take this course?
No. The course is built specifically with low-visibility queerness in mind, bi folks in different-gender relationships, femme-presenting queers, late-coming-out experiences, queer people whose identity is harder to read at a glance. If anything, this is the audience the course is most useful for.
What if I came out late or am still in the process of coming out?
The course is designed for exactly this. Late coming out, partial coming out, and ongoing identity exploration all sit within its remit. There is no assumed timeline or queer-life starting point.
Will this help me feel less like an outsider in queer-only spaces?
Yes. The Queer Connections and Finding Queer Authority modules directly address the experience of feeling unsure in queer community, and offer concrete frameworks for building belonging without performing.
How long are the modules?
Each session is bite-sized, typically 10 to 20 minutes. The course is fully self-paced, so you can pause, return, and re-watch whenever feels useful.
What format is the course in?
Short therapist-led video sessions in the Kalda app, paired with reflective exercises you can do in-app or in your own notebook. Everything is private to you.
How much does Kalda cost?
The Kalda app is free to download on iOS and Android. Full access to this course and every other course in the library is a monthly or annual subscription, purchased in the app. Current prices are always shown in the app before you commit to anything.
Is Kalda only for LGBTQIA+ people?
Kalda is built by and for queer people, and the content assumes a queer reader. Anyone is welcome to take a course; the framing, examples and clinical context are written through a queer lens throughout.
What if I am in crisis?
Kalda is not a crisis service. If you are in crisis, please contact Samaritans (116 123), Shout (text "Shout" to 85258), or NHS 111. Our safeguarding page lists all routes.
