'Conversion therapy left me feeling suicidal'

A 23-year-old woman has said she was told her sexuality was a result of "Satan whispering in her ear" during conversion therapy.

Kitty, who grew up in a religious family but asked us not to use her last name, says she underwent six months' of sessions at New Life Church, in Woking, at the age of 16.

A Liberal Democrat peer has introduced a private members' bill which, if made law, would ban conversion therapy in the UK and introduce unlimited fines for those found guilty.
