SEXUALTY AND GENDER
At Kendal Therapy, I am dedicated to providing inclusive support for individuals exploring issues related to sexuality and gender. I offer the person-centered approach, which means that I prioritise your unique experiences, fostering a space where you can freely express your thoughts and emotions. Here's how we can navigate this journey together:
Acceptance: I will accept individuals of all sexual orientations and gender identities. Your authentic self and lived experience is welcomed at the Kendal Therapy counselling space.
Inclusive Language and Understanding: I will aim to use inclusive language and demonstrate a deep understanding of diverse sexualities and gender expressions. I hope your experiences are met with respect and cultural competence, and I hope to continuously keep up to date with current developments.
Identity Exploration: My approach encourages a safe exploration of your sexual and gender identity. I provide a supportive environment for you to discuss and understand your unique journey.
Phenomenological Therapy: I offer therapy based on your own individual experiencing, recognising and respecting the validity of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities. Your feelings and experiences are acknowledged without judgment.
Support for Coming Out: If you are navigating the process of coming out, I provide encouragement and support. I am here to assist you in sharing your authentic self with others, at your own pace.
Relationship and Intimacy Counselling: I address relationship and intimacy concerns within the context of your sexual and gender identity. My goal is to assist you in building fulfilling connections and expressing your authentic self in relationships.
Intersectionality: Recognizing the intersectionality of identities, I understand that your experiences are shaped by various factors. My counselling approach considers the interconnectedness of sexuality, gender, race, culture, and other aspects of your identity.
Advocacy and Empowerment: I aim to empower you to advocate for yourself and navigate societal challenges. Counselling supports your journey towards self-empowerment and resilience.
Embark on a journey of self-discovery, acceptance, and empowerment. Kendal Therapy is committed to providing a safe, confidential, and respectful space for individuals exploring issues related to sexuality and gender.
