Title: Looking for UK therapists
Post by: MikeO999 on July 25, 2013, 07:52:25 AM
I am currently looking for a therapist in the UK, preferably in West Yorkshire near Leeds that will allow me to start on hormone therapy.

Any help will be greatly accepted!

I don't know of any therapist, but why not talk to your GP?
that is what I did and she referred me to a specialist in the hospital.

Best to go through your doc's, ask to be reffered to your nearest gender clinic. If i were you, do what i did google where that is and take all the details to your doc. this way when the doc says i havent a clue the info will be there. :angel:
