There are many needs which can emerge due to gender dysphoria, such as anxiety, low mood and self-esteem difficulties, and various ways of assessing those needs. The following are all techniques which may be used to assess needs related to gender dysphoria.
A clinical interview with the individual, and the adults around them, provides extensive information in relation to how individuals rate the impact of their gender dysphoria. A clinical interview will include a detailed developmental history. We will also look at any previous reports, which helps to understand whether there are other additional needs to be taken into account.
Psychometric measures may include questionnaires aimed at understanding and measuring difficulties, mood, experiences and other areas.
The information collected during the assessment will provide a greater understanding of the individual’s needs and how best to support these needs.
We provide a range of psychological interventions for associated needs in those who experience gender dysphoria. Interventions will be chosen depending on the needs identified and the age of the child or young person. Interventions can also include parents or carers. Examples of some interventions may include:
