LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy is about having a deep understanding of the challenges, issues, and barriers faced by LGBTQ+ people. It also means having a fully accepting and affirming view of LGBTQ+ people. It goes beyond saying you have nothing against LGBTQ+ people or that you are fine to work with LGBT+ people. It's much deeper than that. LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy provides a safe, secure, confidential, accepting, and affirming space for LGBTQ+ people.

​​

As a therapist, and as a human being, I am fully accepting and affirming of LGBTQ+ people and diverse sexual orientations and gender identities.

​​

I also don't mind sharing that I am LGBTQ+ too. That means I have lived experience to draw on, as well as many years of knowledge, skills, and practical experience of working with LGBTQ+ people.

​​

If you are LGBTQ+, I fully welcome and support you. You will receive an understanding, compassionate, empathetic, inclusive, accessible service where you can be your authentic self.

If you are a therapist and want to be LGBTQ+ affirmative in your work, I can help you to achieve that. I provide several training options to help you grow. I am a global authority on the topic, have presented at conferences and events around the world on working with LGBTQ+ people, have written a series of books on being an LGBTQ+ affimative therapist, advised the UK government on mental health policy for LGBTQ+ people, won numerous awards for my work, been named among the most influential LGBTQ+ people in the UK, and trained over 3,000 people so far to work affirmatively and confidently with LGBTQ+ people.
