Christian psychotherapist who tried to cure gay man faces being struck off | Christian News on Christian Today: "A Christian psychotherapist has been found guilty of “professional malpractice” after trying to help a gay man become straight.
Lesley Pilkington, 60, faces being struck off from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy after it came down on the side of her client, Patrick Strudwick.
Mr Strudwick approached Mrs Pilkington, a practitioner of reparative therapy, at a Christian conference on therapy for homosexuality and pretended that he wanted treatment to help him overcome his same-sex attractions.
He was in fact a gay journalist working undercover.
Mrs Pilkington and Mr Strudwick had two therapy sessions together, during which Mr Strudwick secretly recorded their conversations.
He then used the material gathered during the sessions to make a formal complaint against Mrs Pilkington to the BACP, the professional body for counsellors."
