Author: Laura Scarrone Bonhomme, Davies Skye, Michael Beattie

This book aims to make the complexity of gender diversity accessible to those that, like the author, are starting from scratch. In this heavily political area, it is not uncommon for therapists to feel intimidated or concerned about saying something wrong. Meanwhile, clients also worry about sharing their own struggles with gender with a therapist, in case the therapist were to further stigmatize them. This book aims at bridging the gap, to ensure that more psychotherapists and counsellors feel prepared to support gender-diverse communities in a way that is effective, ethical and affirmative.
Laura Scarrone Bonhomme is a Consultant Clinical Psychologist who developed her career internationally. Laura specialises in Gender, Sexual, and Relationship Diversity. Reflecting on her experiences as a therapist, she has written articles and book chapters about the experiences and challenges faced by transgender and non-binary people. She provides assessment, psychotherapy, and training to other professionals through www.affirm.lgbt
