Other Counsellors, ones I trust
Here are some links to useful resources
Over the years, I have come accross many resources which are helpful for Transgender people. The following are among the best of them.
Local Support Services
Bristol is home to a variety of mental health support services. These are some that I know are understanding of Transgender issues. Wednesday to Sunday evenings Bristol Mind 0ffer their Mindline service and on Friday evenings you can call Mindline Trans+
Changes Bristol - LGBTQ+ wellbeing support / online groups
For other counsellors I reccomend see Talk to the Rainbow
National Helplines
