Specialist Gender Assessment
We provide specialist gender assessment for children, adolescent and young adults. Including family where appropriate.
A full gender assessment is conducted and recommendations made. Where appropriate an onward referral to an associated endocrinologist can also be made.
Specialist gender assessments vary in the number of meetings required, however as we take an adolescent developmental approach, it tends to take around 6 meetings. For those under- 18 years, at least one appointment must take place in-person. The session number may vary depending on the client’s needs. A full specialist gender assessment report can be provided where relevant.
Our practice is guided by WPATH (World Professional Association for Transgender Health) Standards of Care and NHS England Service Specifications for Gender Services.
Specialist Psychological Support
Extended gender exploration work pre-assessment for those early in their gender development.
This service also covers those who have completed a specialist gender assessment and require ongoing gender support. Gender Support sessions take place when further space for exploration and ongoing review is needed.
Gender Training and CPD
Specialist training in gender identity difficulties
Do you or your organisation (eg education, counselling, or care setting) need specialist input around gender identity? If a bespoke training package delivered by a clinician experienced in the assessment and support of young people with gender dysphoria is what you need, get in contact to discuss and we would be happy to discuss further.
