EXPERIENCE

I have delivered trans awareness training since 2007, both independently and through charities, to medical professionals, law enforcement, camp counsellors, therapists, outreach/youth workers, prison staff, teachers, government officials and higher education staff, among others.

Off Beat's workshops are always designed by the communities each training represents. You can request more information at the bottom of this page.

TRAINING

Working with the trans community

Off Beat's 'Working with the trans community' workshops challenge the idea that acceptance of queer/trans communities starts with learning long lists of terminology. In addition to learning about the difficulties faced by the trans community in today's hostile cultural climate, this half or full day training highlights the importance of embracing trans culture and celebrating trans joy, placing empathy at its foundation.

Training can be tailored to different industries, including counselling. To request a chat about your training needs, please see below.

Working with autistic clients

This half day or full day workshop addresses common misconceptions about autism and attempts to convey the realities of many varied autistic lived experiences, both in therapy and out in the world. It challenges the medical, deficit model of disability and promotes neuro-affirmative ways of working with difference.

Training can be tailored to different industries, including counselling. To request a chat about your training needs, please see below.
