INCLUSIVE AND AFFIRMATIVE COUNSELLING IN BIRMINGHAM AND ONLINE
Welcome to Good Therapy
Inclusive and affirmative counselling in Birmingham and online
About Me
My name is Sid Good; I am a counsellor and integrative psychotherapist in training offering counselling appointments in person in Birmingham, UK or online counselling globally.
I work with people from all walks of life in a warm but practical way and I am particularly interested in creating a space in therapy for you to explore your uniqueness and your special contribution to the world.
My particular area of interest is LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy as well as working with gender and relationship diversity and neurodiversity. I am someone who has experienced the benefits of therapy and as a trans, queer man, I know it can be comforting to work with a therapist who has personal experience in this area.
How Counselling Can Help
People seek counselling for a wide range of reasons which are highly unique and individual. Perhaps you are looking for closure or understanding about certain events in your life, maybe you are having questions about your identity and want help to understand ‘who am I?’. Perhaps you are struggling to cope with the world or to understand your place and unique position in life, maybe you are looking for ways to cope with your anxiety, fears or low mood on a day to day basis. These questions can be triggered by certain life events such as bereavement, life changes, transitions, relationship changes, global events or they can arise just with the passing of time. Through working together, we can explore these questions and challenges in an affirmative and safe environment and help you move towards your goals, identify your current patterns and potential blockages and move towards understanding yourself more deeply.
Psychotherapy and counselling can help with a range of issues from self-esteem, depression, anxiety and trauma as well as issues relating to identity including gender, sexuality and race. By working in an LGBTQ+ and identity affirmative way that acknowledges how your current issues are inherently linked to existing within society we can work on ways of understanding yourself and your place within the world.
My Experience
I have experience working with individuals from a wide range of backgrounds around many different types of issues. I have particular interest in working with people related to their gender and sexual identity (gender dysphoria, transgender identities, LGBTQ+ identities), issues relating to neurodiversity (including but not limited to autism and ADHD) as well as issues around families, relationships and attachments . This is by no means the only issues I work with, however my experience is ever growing and changing so I no longer list all of the issues I can work with, please do get in touch if you have questions about whether we can work together with the topics you would like to bring.
