What does My Therapy Entail?

My service is slightly different from other counselling or talking therapies because my approach is more holistic. I do not see being Transgender as something that needs diagnosis or to be fixed, but rather as an opportunity for self-development and personal healing. Having transitioned myself, from female to male, I have an awareness and understanding that people who haven't been there don't possess. Due to my personal experience, my therapy method is more about looking at life as a whole and the individuals place in it rather than focusing on something and making it an issue when really there is no need.
