Benjamin Marr
Counsellor/Therapist, BA MA Relational Psychotherapist/ Birkbeck College - Psychodynamic Counsellor
I have extensive experience of dealing with clients from differing backgrounds whose sexual orientation, as well as their gender identity may not be a direct source of distress to themselves, but people who identify as LGBTQIA may find that the social stigma from others of living as a minority to be a source of stress or anxiety. Relational psychotherapy has the scope to positively contribute to overcoming such issues, which can also possibly have ramifications in terms of the changes in the clients’ lives. My professional familiarity with the challenges that members of the LGBTQIA community often face have been critical to successful therapy outcomes.

Alison Edwards CBT Therapy & Supervision
Psychologist, CBT Therapist, FMBPsS, MA (Hons), MSc, CertCouns, MSc
I’m experienced in supporting clients who identify as LGBTQ+, or have a family member who identifies as LGBTQ+ and are looking for a confidential place to discuss a range of issues. This includes supporting teens and young people who are transgender or going through difficulties with gender dysphoria and body issues. I attend regular supervision with a group of therapists who specialise in LGBTQ+ issues. I'm currently working towards accreditation as a Gender, Sexuality & Relationships Diversities Therapist, and expecting to complete this in June 2024. I'm committed to broadening my knowledge in these areas and providing an LGBTQ+ affirmative practice.

John Castleford
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, mARCHTI
Our biological sex is mostly determined at birth, but gender issues have the potential to adversely reflect potential conflict between the ways in which we identify with our sexuality, typically with societal disapproval of LGBT which is more pronounced in some regions of the world than others where tolerance may be the norm. Not everyone has XX or XY chromosomes. Not everyone feels comfortable about same-sex relationships, and that may be an issue derived from religious intolerance or just sheer prejudice and ignorance. Developing awareness of strategies for building resilient mind sets that better help with coping strategies can themselves be developed to enable you blossom, thrive and flourish as a person, irrespective of the intolerance of others.
