About this event

An Introduction to Working with LGBTQ+ Clients: Do’s and Don’ts from a Queer Therapist – Hannah Creedon

Have you felt you lacked confidence when working with LGBTQ+ clients? Do you feel overwhelmed by terminology? Scared of ‘getting it wrong’? Hannah (she /her) will talk you through the basics of what she has learnt through her work with the LGBTQ+ community.

This workshop will go through some helpful Do’s and Don’ts including:

  • understanding terminology
  • understanding identities
  • what to do when you get it wrong!

Participants will have a chance to ask questions and work together in small groups to discuss some of what they have learnt. This will be a fun, informative and supportive space. (This course is intended to give an introductory overview of the basics of this topic, rather than a comprehensive training.)
