GSRD Therapy

Gender, sex, and relationship therapy (GSRD)

Gender, sex, and relationship therapy (GSRD) is an emergent psychotherapy building on the affirmative traditions of relational and humanistic schools and harnessing some of the techniques of third-wave cognitive behavioural therapy, which can be especially effective with LGBTQIA+ clients. The approach is crucial in providing support, guidance, and healing to individuals navigating the complex landscape of identity, sexuality, and interpersonal connections. To address clients’ diverse needs effectively, I embrace a comprehensive approach incorporating the six core components. By committing to social justice, demonstrating cultural humility and competency, understanding the impact of oppression, adopting a trauma-informed approach, embracing contemporary sexological perspectives, and drawing on core GSRD theories, I help create a safe and inclusive environment for my clients.
