Practice description
Hi, I’m AJ Goodlad (he/they). I’m an intersectional, neurodivergent, trans, non-binary, Queer, Humanistic Person-Centred Psychotherapist, Counsellor, and Advanced Practitioner Member of the BACP. I’m the founder of Queer-Therapy.LGBT, an affirming, queer space for you to bring your whole self, online and face to face in Brighton & Hove at The Queer Therapy Hub.
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 Therapist. I regularly support clients experiencing anxiety, stress, depression and disassociation.
Who’s welcomed into my practice? The dolls, transfags, gender queers, crips, questioning, bois, she/they’s, bears, pups, non-binary finery, isolated village queers, binary trans, gender questioning, SWers, later in life neuroqueer discovery and/or coming out, AuDHDers, non-binary dykes, religious trauma survivors, plurals, metas, no gender, poly Tetris players, cis partners, friends, lovers and family seeking understanding as their loved one transitions; whoever’s drawn to my work.
My rich background is in advocacy within disabled, 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’ll 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. Long and short term work available. 18+.
I offer a free 15-minute introduction call to see if we’re the right ‘fit’.
Please get in touch with any questions.
Love & Power, AJ Goodlad
