IDENTITY, MENTAL HEALTH AND PSYCHOTHERAPY

gender/therapy is about gender, sexuality, mental health and psychotherapy.

This is where I share my writings about these topics. I’m a transgender woman, a
psychotherapist who has been practicing for more than a decade, a professional
presenter, trainer, and mum of two daughters.  The combination of these roles
gives me insight and perspectives into issues around identity and psychology
that I want to share in the hope that they might be helpful – to clients and
therapists in particular, but also to anyone interested in better understanding
these topics.

Gender, sexuality and identity exist as internal concepts – what we think, feel
and experience in our own minds, the realm of therapy. They also exist as social
constructs and things that we live, breathe and perform in relationship with
others.  The distinction between the internal experience of identity and the
external experience of how we are seen and treated by others is a complex
multi-directional process where one informs and influences the other and is turn
informed and influenced by it.  It’s this complex interaction that I want to
reflect on here, and the implications it has for therapy (in particular) and for
our lives and well-being more broadly.

If you’d like to contact me you can reach me through my practice page here, or
you can find out more about the work I’ve done around technology overuse and
addiction (and particularly gaming) here.
