It’s hard to know how many transgender people there are in the Harrogate area. What we do know is that in England 23.9% of transgender adults are diagnosed with depression and 36% with anxiety. There are much higher rates of self-harm and suicide attempts reported by transgender people in the Harrogate area.
We have transgender clients that come for counselling, and they really value the support we provide. They face discrimination and fear victimisation. We listen and we help.
For more information on counselling for people who are transgender read this article from the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.
