Welcome to my remote counselling services. I’m Gavin Reid MBACP, a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and I’m here to offer you compassionate and professional support, wherever you are.

A SPACE FOR TRANS, NON-BINARY & GENDER NON-CONFORMING PEOPLE

🔵 As a gay man who grew up in the 1980s, I know what it’s like to feel like the world is stacked against you. Back then it was Section 28, the AIDS crisis, and the daily sting of prejudice and even hate.

🔵 Today, I see trans, non-binary and gender non-conforming people facing fresh versions of that same hostility. The recent Supreme Court ruling being just one example. It feels like an echo of the battles we fought, and it hits hard.

🔵 That’s why I want to offer something different: a therapy space where you don’t have to explain yourself or prove your right to exist. A place where your identity is respected from the start.

🔵 I have specialist training in Gender, Sexual and Relationship Diversity (GSRD) Therapy through Pink Therapy, plus additional training with Gendered Intelligence. But more than the qualifications, I bring lived experience of knowing what it’s like to be pushed to the margins, and the belief that healing happens when you’re truly seen.

🔵 Whether you’re questioning, transitioning, dealing with dysphoria or the impact of transphobia, or simply wanting support with relationships, family, or other challenges, I’ll meet you as you are.

🔵 I offer a free 15-minute online intro session so we can get a feel for whether I’m the right therapist for you.

🏳️‍⚧️ You deserve a space where you’re not just safe but affirmed. Therapy can be that space, yours to shape, on your terms 🏳️‍⚧️
