Objectives

Beyond Reflections is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation supporting trans, non-binary and gender questioning adults, as well as their friends, families and allies in England and Wales.

Our mission is to deliver world-class mental well-being support to the trans+ community, allowing them to develop a deeper understanding of themselves and empowering them to navigate challenges, build resilience, and make healthy decisions about their future.

We believe that acceptance and education are cornerstones in creating an accepting society where everyone can express themselves however they choose. This is why we also deliver support to family members, friends, and other allies, as well as training for organisations.

Our members are at the heart of all we do and every decision we make.

Activities

We provide support in the form of face-to-face and online support groups, counselling, wellbeing drop-ins, and third-party hate-crime victim support.

We’re here to provide a safe space and our experienced volunteers and counsellors are here to listen without passing judgement.  Our support is either online or in accessible buildings that can be reached on public transport.

We also offer individual counselling and social support on a one-on-one basis to ensure we can tailor our support to our beneficiaries' needs.

  • We run meet and greet safe social spaces in various locations

  • We run group and 1-2-1 mentoring by those further into their ‘journey’

  • We provide counselling - either for specific situations or for the ‘journey’

  • We provide coaching for friends, allies and partners

  • We are a third party hate crime reporting centre and can support our beneficiaries even if they don’t want to report
