Therapists and Counsellors Directory

Hi, I’m AJ Goodlad (he/him), an intersectional neurodivergent Queer Person-Centred Psychotherapist, Counsellor (MBACP, Advanced Practitioner) and Neurodivergent Coach.

My work is trauma informed, gender affirming, neuro affirming, kink and sex positive. My approach is friendly, soft, warm and empathic, with a passion for client autonomy and empowerment. Working Online (video, voice, therapeutic email, instant messaging) or telephone. Weekly, fortnightly or Single Session Therapy meetings available.

I have extensive 10+ years experience supporting clients experiencing dysphoria/gender incongruence within my role as a Gender, Sex and Relationship Diversity Therapist (GSRDT). You won’t experience the burden of educating me, I understand. I bring with me a rich background in supporting and advocating within LGBTQIA+, disabled and neurodivergent communities and clients for 20+ years.

My relationship with you will be genuine, as you process any thoughts, feelings and life’s experiences. I will be working for you to feel safe, within an empathic space, for you to explore as you need. I will offer you unconditional acceptance, warmth, and a genuine non-judgmental relationship.

My Neurodivergent Coaching emphasises empathy, empowerment, building your resources (or ‘toolkit’) as you pursue the direction you want to head in (or ‘goals’). Access to Work funding allows you to choose me as your specialist for counselling and/or coaching, should you want.

Contacting a stranger can be daunting. Maybe you’ve had therapy or coaching before, or it’s your first time. Either way, I offer a free friendly 15 minute call. You can ask any questions & see if we’re the right ‘fit’. I won’t put you under any pressure.

Please do get in touch with any questions.

Warm wishes, AJ Goodlad
