Listen Later

Chris Sheridan (previously Grant) is a highly experienced BACP Counsellor and Psychotherapist based in Scotland. On a mission to improve trans healthcare in the UK and beyond, Chris opened their private practice, The Queer Therapist, in 2018 to provide queer and gender affirming counseling and psychotherapy to trans, gender non-conforming and non-binary people.

Chris also works as a Psychotherapist for an Adult Clinical Psychology Department and Occupational Therapy Department in NHS. Prior to their current roles, Chris worked as the Lead Self Management Specialist in Dumfries and Galloway LGBT Plus in 2016 where they developed and led an award-winning LGBTQIA start-up charity offering advocacy, counseling, group therapy, CBT and befriending to LGBTQIA adults in Scotland.

In 2017, Chris became a member of the Scottish Parliament Cross-Party Group on LGBTI Issues and continues voluntary governance work with non-profit organizations with a focus on health inequality. Chris is a member of The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), the European Professional Association for Transgender Health (EPATH) and the Gendered Intelligence Network for Therapists and Counsellors.

In this episode, we explore the topics of gender vs. sexuality, performing gender, how the church and religion often reinstate gender roles, non-binary representation, gender affirming healthcare, supporting a loved one who is exploring their gender identity, and more.
