Training in Working With Expansive Clients: Trans and Non-Binary Experiences 

Foundation Level One: Working with Expansive Clients: Trans and Non-Binary Experiences

Part of a series of three workshops on decolonising gender expansive therapy – see below for further details.

​

About the Workshop

This workshop is designed for mental health practitioners eager to enhance their practice with transgender, non-binary, and gender-expansive clients, as well as any practitioner working with gender in the therapy room - this means everyone!

​

Encompassing and moving beyond trans/gender 101, Foundation Level One is suitable for practitioners at any level of competence around trans/gender client work and provides the necessary foundation for continuing onto Level Two: Decolonising Gender (& sexuality & relationship diversity) and Level Three: Expansion in Practice. Level One is also suitable as a stand-alone training.

​

For this first workshop, time will be spent deepening and expanding our understanding of gender and exploring our own relationship to gender, with prompts, group work, experiential exercises, and discussion.

​

 We will begin with an exploration of the lived experiences of trans, non-binary, and gender-expansive clients in our current context. Including terminology, up-to-date information about trans lives and lived experiences, presenting issues in therapy (including dysphoria and incongruence), and current internationally accepted best practices.

​

Lastly, we will engage with case studies to develop our skills in practice and consider what we don’t yet know about supporting these marginalised groups.
