Hi, I'm AJ Goodlad (he/they). I’m an intersectional, neurodivergent, trans, non-binary, Queer, Humanistic Person-Centred Psychotherapist, Counsellor, and Advanced Practitioner Member of the BACP.

With over a decade of experience as a psychotherapist and counsellor, I have extensive expertise as an online Gender, Sex and Relationship Diversity (GSRD) Therapist, and providing Brighton in person Gender Sex Relationship therapy.
My rich background is in advocacy within disabled and queer communities and among survivors of abuse. My approach is trauma informed, sex positive, gender affirming, and neuro-affirming, neurodivergent trans therapist for those seeking support.
My relationship with you will be genuine as you process any thoughts, feelings, and life experiences. I will work to ensure you feel safe within an empathic space where you can explore at your own pace. I will offer you unconditional acceptance, warmth, and a truly non-judgmental relationship.
