    Basically, I do not think my mum would give me the support I need and the internet, as great as it is, I'd rather have a professional person to talk to. So is there a way to get in contact with a therapist (online or whatever) without a parent knowing.

    (I'm 13 and in the UK by the way)

    Im not sure how it is in ththwK, But here, its extrrmly illegal, and im not sure if it would even be possible. An alternative would be to ask your mym to go to a regular therapist. They might not have as much insight on your gender, but they would still be able to listen and possibly help.

    As Seige said, you could find a regular therapist. But instead of it being a regular therapist, you could just tell your mom a different reason why you need them, when really they specialize in many things including LGBT. You could tell your mom that you're depressed, and tell her you looked for a therapist and found one you think you would like. But while it looks like a therapist with many specialties (including depression and LGBT), she would see the depression part while you're actually talking about your gender with her. I think it could work but only if they have whatever issue you're telling your mom you have and LGBT. A general therapist probably won't be able to help you enough.

    I'm not sure if this is a thing in the UK, but you could try Skype.
