GPP /CATS - Gender Identity ClinicRange of Services The Gender Identity Clinic offers consultations, support and time-limited counselling to anyone who wishes to explore issues related to their cross-dressing or any degree of transgendered expression. This includes those who wish to manage their cross-gender feelings and the expression of those feelings while remaining in their original gender role as well as those questioning their level of adaptation to the cross-dressing or transgendered behaviour. The Gender Identity Clinic provides counseling to families and consultation to employers of clinic clients provided we have your signed consent. Otherwise all consultations are strictly confidential. The clinic also offers weekly group support for those who have already been seen for consultation and received this recommendation. The Consultation Process In order for you to be seen for consultation, the clinic requires a referral letter from a physician. This may be your family doctor, psychiatrist or any other licensed physician. Once we receive this referral letter we will contact you or the referral source, whichever you prefer, and arrange an appointment time. Your appointment will involve meeting with clinicians and, where indicated, an endocrinologist. We will make every attempt to fit this into a single day, however, where an appointment with the endocrinologist is indicated this is not always possible. Approximately six weeks later we will provide recommendations and encourage you to contact the clinic to discuss these further, either by telephone or in person. Other links:
