Working Therapeutically with Transgender Clients

In recent years, the landscape of transgender healthcare in the UK has been marked by significant developments that have profound implications for mental health professionals. As we navigate these evolving dynamics, critical questions arise: What are the ethical responsibilities of practitioners working with transgender clients? How can we approach these sensitive topics with care and insight, both in therapy and in training? What should professionals understand about the nuances of working in an affirmative and exploratory way with transgender clients?

This event will provide a comprehensive overview of these developments, offering crucial insights and fostering a deeper understanding of what these changes mean for both qualified professionals and trainees. Importantly, it will also serve as a platform for asking the difficult questions that need to be addressed in the pursuit of inclusive and effective psychological care.

About the 40th Anniversary Lecture Series: Meaningful Conversations

Metanoia Institute's “40th Anniversary Lecture Series: Meaningful Conversations” invites thought leaders and change-makers to engage in pivotal dialogues at the intersection of psychotherapy, counselling, and society's pressing issues. Celebrating four decades of progress, this series embodies our founding vision of intertwining social justice with therapeutic practice. It offers a platform for crucial conversations on equality, diversity, and inclusion—areas demanding reflection and action within our profession. Our profession’s focus on the individual often overlooks the broader cultural influences impacting lives, sometimes perpetuating prejudice and injustice. This series addresses these themes, fostering respectful and nuanced discussions to advance therapeutic practice, training, and social justice. Join us as we explore these critical topics through panel discussions, each featuring diverse perspectives committed to in-depth reflection and respectful dialogue.
