Reflective space for trans & non-binary therapy practitioners - JANUARY

Gendered Intelligence is running an online (Zoom) facilitated reflective space for therapists and counsellors who are trans and/or non-binary. Our intention is to hold a space that meets the need for therapists and counsellors in the trans community to reflect in a peer space.

20% off if you book multiple sessions or have attended our training course for therapists and counsellors in the last three months.

For block bookings or organisational discounts, please enquire by email to training@genderedintelligence.co.uk

The group is a space to collectively reflect on our experiences as peers and practitioners working in therapy and counselling, building a place of community, support and learning.

Who is eligible to join?

Any therapists/counsellor who would describe themself as trans, non-binary, agender, genderfluid, gender-questioning or any identity within the broad ‘trans’ umbrella.

This space is not open to cisgender practitioners.

Both qualified and trainee practitioners are welcome.

While client work may come up in discussions, it is not intended as the primary focus.

This will be a small group, between 4-10 people.
