Trans (Gender) Support
We support transgender and questioning people, their families, close friends and employers.
Whichever stage of the process you are at, we offer practical support, resources, counselling and therapy for those questioning their identity, and those in the process of gender or identity transition.
We offer a person-centered, holistic approach to help you where you are at and however you identify:
sometimes specialist therapy and counselling is needed (sessions either online or face-to-face)
sometimes just support and someone to cheer you on in the process
sometimes some social contact is useful (our drop-in sessions can help here)
sometimes access to support and resources can be useful (links to useful networks etc)
For those indirectly involved in the life of a trans person, learning how to accept, facilitate and ‘be there’ for them is so important and we can help you with this, fully aware that you may be struggling with your own emotions and feelings at this time. Therapy and support is also available for family members or ‘significant others’ in a group or one-to-one setting.
Employers can often benefit from resources and training to help them offer a supportive and productive culture and environment for those undergoing gender transition or those who are questioning. This is useful for employees and team members as well as how to work with customers or other stakeholders.
Dr Russell Thackeray has extensive experience in this area and is involved as a Trustee of Beyond Reflections (Gender Identity Matters), a southern based Trans support charity.
