Affirming care, shaped around you
From assessment to ongoing therapy, every service is built on respect, evidence and your own goals.
Gender dysphoria assessment
A thorough, respectful psychological assessment that explores your history, identity and goals. It can support access to medical pathways or provide a professional report where one is needed — always conducted with care and without judgement.
- Structured but unhurried
- Affirming, not gatekeeping
- Clear written outcome where required
Surgical readiness assessment & referral letter
A structured psychological assessment for people seeking gender-affirming surgery, producing the written referral or support letter surgeons and gender clinics require — prepared to recognised standards of care.
- Written report or referral letter
- Meets WPATH / clinic requirements
- Private or NHS surgical routes
Affirming therapy & counselling
Ongoing one-to-one support to explore your gender, ease dysphoria, manage anxiety or low mood, and build confidence. Drawing on CBT, ACT and compassion-focused therapy, tailored to what you need.
- Explore identity at your pace
- Coping tools for dysphoria & stress
- Coming out & minority-stress support
