Join us!

We welcome practicing, training or retired counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologists based in the UK and Ireland. It's free to join, though many choose to pay a monthly donation towards running costs.

 

We have a steering group of 8-10 people who communicate frequently by WhatsApp and email, and we meet fortnightly on zoom to plan campaigning activities, share information, feedback on progress etc.  We also have another group of Supporters who feel strongly about gender ideology in therapy but may not have the time or inclination to make a commitment to being in the steering group. This group chats on WhatsApp and Email.

​

The steering group send updates to the supporters group, asking them to support campaigns and keeping them up to date with our activities.  New members are offered a chance to meet a couple of the steering group on zoom to a) to ensure their views are in alignment with ours, and b) to decide which group to join. Some people join the steering group and move to the supporters group, and vice versa

We run a monthly online supporters support group where any supporters are welcome to attend to talk freely about the issues we are all dealing with. We have guest speakers and some steering group members come along too. You will receive a monthly newsletter and can benefit from 1:1 mentoring if you're struggling on your course or in the workplace due to holding a sex-realist position
