Hi, I’m James. I am a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist with the Irish Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (IACP) I am also a registered member of the World Professional Association of Transgender Health (WPATH/EPATH).
I work with adolescents, (aged 11 up), adults, couples and non-traditional relationships (polyamory), families, support groups and parents. In addition to working with a diverse range of issues, I offer specialist support in the areas of gender, sexuality and neurodiversity (ADHD/AUTISM).
This consent workshop will provide a safe space to explore the topic of consent. The workshop aims to promote positive sexual and platonic experiences and provide knowledge and skills to recognize and communicate consent in all aspects of life, not just in the bedroom!
The OutWest Sligo sub-committee have started hosting bi-weekly coffee meet-ups at Penny Café in Sligo. Every second Saturday from 12 to 2pm, members of the LGBTI+ community of Sligo gather on the veranda along the Garvogue river for coffee and chats. The first two meetings on the 19th of June and the 3rd of July were attended by members of the Sligo Pride committee, and they hope to continue to attend in the coming weeks.

If you’re a member of the LGBTI+ Community in the Sligo area looking for something to do this Saturday the 17th of July, why not join us? You can meet and hang out with other members of the community and enjoy some good coffee, or perhaps some elderflower fizz. Sometimes, there’s even cupcakes and dogs…
Bring your friends, bring your pride, and don’t forget to bring a mask. I’ll be there, will you?

This year Sligo saw the return of Sligo Pride Festival to the streets of Sligo City. Hundred turned out to show their Pride and solidarity with members of the LGBT+ community in Sligo and the North-West. We will be hosting a public consultation and AGM on Friday, September 13 from 4pm until 6pm in Sligo City Hall.
This is the first time in history of Pride in Sligo in which a public AGM will be hosted in Sligo City Hall. We are looking forward to meeting with the wider Sligo community to hear your thoughts on Sligo Pride 2019 and plans for the future. Pride is both a celebration and a continued protest, as such it makes sense to send a clear message that LGBT+ members of the community are supported by their local government.
If you are interested in joining the Sligo Pride Committee or volunteering with us over the next year to make Sligo Pride Festival bigger and better next year, please do get in touch with us. Email us at info@sligopride.com or contact us through our website www.sligopride.com. You can also find us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
