deeply in reflexive interrogation of clinical privilege, and to
centre the narratives and wisdom of the trans and non-binary people
we serve. More of that please!’ Matthew Mills (he, him),

reading for anyone, personally and/or professionally, seeking to
support trans and non-binary individuals and community groups. Its
reflective focus is vital for anyone wishing to create a more
diverse and inclusive world.” Dr Paul Simpson, Lecturer in

much needed resource on Gender Affirmative Therapy to guide
therapists and practitioners to ensure best clinical practices when
working with gender.” Christiane Sanderson, Independent
Counsellor, Author and Educator, London, UK Increasing numbers of
people openly identify as transgender and non-binary and questions
of gender identity and diversity are coming up more frequently in
psychological therapy. Gender Affirming Therapy takes you on a
journey to discover the inner lives and challenges of
gender-diverse people, seeking to spark compassion and build
confidence in working with these communities. Assuming no
prior knowledge and accessibly written, this book aims to bridge
the gap to ensure that more mental health professionals are better
prepared to support gender-diverse clients in a way that is
effective, ethical and affirmative. Key features of this book
include: • ‘In their Own Words’ sections containing
interviews directly from transgender and non-binary individuals.
• Key point summary and reflection boxes. • Coverage of new
advancements in the field. Drawing on research and clinical
experience, Gender Affirming Therapy has been devised as an open
conversation between colleagues which centres transgender and
non-binary individuals as the experts and at the very heart of the
book. Laura Scarrone Bonhomme is a Consultant Clinical Psychologist
