About this Event

Counselling & Psychotherapy with LGBTQ+ Clients

Getting Started and the Four Pillars

After decades of laws and stigmas that prevented people from being their true selves’ people are now able to embrace their true identities. However, there is still a lot of confusion and stigma in society and within the therapy room about LGBTQ+ communities.

It’s now more important than ever for professionals to keep up to date with changing trends, terminology, general knowledge and things to consider when offering Counselling and Psychotherapy to LGBTQ+ clients.

This CPD workshop will be ideal for Counsellors, Therapists and mental health professionals looking to expand their knowledge on this complex and important topic.

What’s included?

Detailed explanation on different sexuality and gender identities.

A discussion on sexuality around the world.

Exploration of Toms 'Four pillars of LGBTQIA+ Therapy' discussing four key things for therapists to be aware of when working with LGBTQ+ clients, these are:

The wider context,

Shame,

Rage

Internalised phobias
