Reflective space for queer therapy practitioners

 

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

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 therapist/counsellor who would describe their identity as falling within the LGBTQIAP+ umbrella. 
  • 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.
