Do you offer counselling for parents through GenderGP providers?
Yes! Experience has shown us that while many parents may be accepting and supportive of their child, whatever their age, helping their child to safely navigate their gender journey can be challenging at times.
Being able to talk through their thoughts, fears, and even prejudices, in a non-judgmental environment, can be a hugely positive step for everyone involved.
