Move beyond good intentions – become the affirming, knowledgeable and skilled counsellor LGBTQIA+ clients need

How Inclusive is Your Practice?

As a counsellor, you want to create a safe, affirming space for all clients – but when it comes to working with LGBTQIA+ individuals, are you truly inclusive?

My Self-Assessment Checklist is designed to help you reflect on your current practices, identify areas for growth, and ensure that your approach is affirming, informed, and inclusive.

    This checklist will help you:

    • Evaluate your use of inclusive language and pronouns
    • Assess whether your forms, policies and space are welcoming
    • Identify gaps in LGBTQIA+ cultural competence and clinical practice.
    • Gain an insight into how you can better support queer clients.

    Why it Matters?

    LGBTQIA+ individuals experience higher rates of mental health challenges, often due to discrimination, rejection and a lack of affirming care. A truly inclusive practice can reduce harm, build trust, and create a space where clients feel seen, safe and supported.

    Download the checklist now and take the first steps towards strengthening your LGBTQIA+ affirmative practice.

    What to go deeper, and ensure your practice is completely affirmative, check out my training.
