Qualified Counsellor & Therapist for Trans+ Charity

We’re looking for qualified counsellors and therapists who are willing to donate a spare practice space to a trans well-being and support charity.     Our members are trans+, non-binary and questioning adults and their family, who are looking for support. We\'re looking for qualified counsellors and therapists to take clients through their private practice, using their own systems and can take as many or as few clients as they wish. In return we offer training, therapeutic development days and valuable experience working with a minority group.

Your experience will help us deliver mental well-being support to the trans+ community, allowing them to develop a deeper understanding of themselves and empowering them to navigate challenges, build resilience, and make healthy decisions about their future. The current hostile media landscape and long waiting lists to access gender affirming care mean our members are more in need than ever to access support. By volunteering some of your practice hours you can make a huge difference to an otherwise disenfranchised client group.
