Sexual minority therapy includes work with minority groups that fall outside the accepted view of 'heterosexual'.  This by definition may include: gay, lesbian or bisexual individuals, transgendered, transsexuals and cross dressers, or people who have sexual preferences and practices that the majority in society may deem to be 'unnacceptable'.

 

People belonging to a sexual minority access counselling for a variety of reasons, often other than those directly connected with their sexual orientation/identity/lifestyle – which may or may not be relevant to the presenting issue. However, as a specially trained and experienced Sexual Minority Therapist I am aware of the potential factors that are likely to have affected you, and the issues that may arise during the therapy, to make sure I offer the most appropriate, safe and effective support and therapeutic intervention in helping you to deal with your distress and to achieve your desired outcomes.

I have worked for many years with people identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered or with sexual lifestyles that other people may struggle to accept or understand.  In addition to this experience I have also accessed additional training in Sexual Minority Therapy and Psychosexual Therapy.  I also teach a Certificate in Sexual Minority Therapy at a college in the Greater Manchester area.
