At Proud Wellness, we’re creating more than just a directory — we’re building a trusted, inclusive space where LGBTQIA+ clients feel genuinely supported.
To protect this space, all listed practitioners must meet our professional and inclusion-focused standards. We recognise that access to training and opportunities isn’t equal for everyone, and we’re here to support you in meeting these requirements with care and equity at the heart.
*Proud Wellness Directory Member Standards
-
A digital copy of your primary qualification, current practitioner insurance, and membership of a professional body.
A digital copy of your photo ID.
Evidence of a minimum of 20 hours CPD in the discipline and practice of LGBTQIA+ equity and inclusion. This includes, but is not limited to working specifically with LGBTQIA+ clients*.
Identify as LGBTQIA+ or be an active ally of the LGBTQIA+ community.
When you join us you will be enrolled onto our Onboarding Training. This online training will ensure you have all the information you need about how to make the most of being a Directory member and the support available to you. You will also be able to use your official Proud Wellness Partner Verified badge after attendance!
*CPD includes training courses, conferences, workshops and personal research. If you are unsure if your CPD is applicable please contact us here. (You will be asked to provide evidence of CPD undertaken.)
We appreciate that LGBTQIA+ people come from many different backgrounds, often with multiple marginalised identities. We recognise that barriers to equitable training and opportunities exist. Proud Wellness is committed to providing a space for all wellness practitioners, with a special focus on elevating the voices of those of us who are particularly marginalised in the wellness sector.
We want to work with you to help you successfully join our directory.
If you have any further questions, please contact us here, and we will arrange a call with you to discuss the next steps, thank you.

As acknowledged above, many of us have been failed by the systems we are living in and may not have access to all of the requested documentation.
We are happy to work on a case-by-case basis to support your application. For example if you state you are a licensed therapist you must provide evidence of such but if you state you are a consultant then you can provide insurance proof that you are insured for consultancy services and relevant CPD evidence.
-
We offer a limited number of bursaries covering half the cost of our Directory Plus membership to queer wellness practitioners from trans+ communities, people with disabilities, and POC communities.
Please get in touch with us if this is you by emailing hello@proudwellness.com, we’d love to help.
