Thoughtful Therapists

• Founded in 2021, a group of psychotherapists and counsellors who campaign to raise awareness of the negative impact of gender ideology on mental-health services, in particular for children with gender dysphoria.
• Work has focused on government proposals to ban “gender-identity conversion therapy” and on the “Memorandum of Understanding on Conversion Therapy” signed by many health and therapy organisations.
• Fears both of these risk undermining exploratory therapy for vulnerable children by pushing an “affirmation-only” treatment model for gender distress.
• Main spokesperson is James Esses.
