Practice description
Hi, I’m AJ Goodlad (he/they). I’m an intersectional, neurodivergent, non-binary, Queer, Humanistic Person-Centred Psychotherapist, Counsellor, and Advanced Practitioner Member of the BACP.
I’ve had the privilege of being in the role of Psychotherapist and Counsellor for the past decade, with extensive experience as a Gender, Sex and Relationship Diversity (GSRD) Therapist.
My rich background is in advocacy within disabled and queer communities, and survivors of abuse. My work is trauma informed, sex positive, gender affirming, neuro-affirming.
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.
I’m curious about power dynamics and how this can impact a person’s experience of themselves, identity and relationships. I’m anti-ableist, fat positive, feminist, HIV/AIDS allied, intersex allied, open relationship, poly/non-monogamy allied, Racial Justice allied, refugee and migrant allied, sex worker allied, Kink/BDSM allied.
Long and short term work available. Adults 18+.
