Tina Clark - Person-Centred Therapists

  
I am Client Centred, employing genuineness, unconditional positive regard, and empathy as the basis of a therapeutic alliance to help people find their own strengths and ways forward, with whatever life issues concern them.

I work with individuals, couples, and partners of all Genders, Sexual Orientations (including Asexual) and Relationship Configurations ( monogamous / ethical non-monogamy / poly) - with equanimity and respect.

I offer over 20 years experience of supporting  Transgender, Transsexual, Non-Binary, and Gender Queer people, working  with both individuals, and with their Significant Others (partners and families).
