The book Queering Psychotherapy (Karnac) brings together a group of practitioners and other queers to talk about intersectional ways of being in a world that is often violent. A world that dismisses difference and divergence. We want to create an anti-oppressive space in which you feel safe and seen.

Chance Czyzselska offers psychotherapy that takes account of clients’ environments and lived experiences. Bay De Veen offers supervision based on the fluidity of the octopus approach, a holistic and collaborative support for confident practice.

Queering Psychotherapy

While LGBTQIA+ people are more likely to suffer from a range of mental health issues than our cisgender, straight counterparts, we have less access to services or therapists who understand our issues. 

Queering Psychotherapy, written for and by queer and trans therapists for therapists and anyone interested in queer mental health, is a diverse collection of essays that acknowledge and address the fact that the therapy encounter is not a politics-free space.
