Legislation will be introduced to protect LGBT+ people in Wales and England from being subjected to conversion therapy.
According to information released by the UK Government, many of the practices are already banned under current laws but the new steps will ensure it is stamped out "once and for all".
Conversion therapy - also sometimes described as gay cure therapy - tries change someone's sexuality or gender identity.
The UK's women and equalities minister Liz Truss said ministers want to end the "coercive and abhorrent" practice.
New funding will also be introduced to support victims of conversion therapy and proper support is believed to come into play this summer. Despite a promise to ban conversion therapy by Theresa May's government in 2018, it has not been put into law.
"As a global leader on LGBT rights, this government has always been committed to stamping out the practice of conversion therapy", Liz Truss said.
"We want to make sure that people in this country are protected, and these proposals mean nobody will be subjected to coercive and abhorrent conversion therapy.
"Alongside this legislation, we will make new funding available to ensure that victims have better access to the support they need."
The further consultation period will take into consideration views from the public and "key stakeholders" to ensure the ban takes into consideration; freedom of speech, medical profession and upholding religious freedom.
In response to the Queen's Speech today, CEO of leading LGBT+ charity Stonewall, Nancy Kelley, described the consultation period as "concerning" for the LGBT+ community.
"We welcome the commitment to introduce legislation to ban so-called 'conversion therapy'," she said.
"However, the news of a consultation is concerning and will be hard for our communities to hear.
"We don't need a consultation to know that all practices that seek to convert, suppress, cure or change us are dangerous, abusive and must be banned. Lesbian, gay, bi, trans, intersex and ace communities have been waiting almost three years for the UK Government to follow through on their promise to ban all conversion practices, and any delay leaves us at further risk of abuse."
Earlier this year, the Evangelical Alliance's UK Director ,Peter Lynas, wrote to Boris Johnson stating that the definition of conversion therapy could be in breach of religious freedom, "criminalising" everyday church activities.
"Proposals, as currently discussed, could have the consequence of restricting individual freedom and impinging on essential religious liberty - potentially criminalising Christians and common church activities." the letter read.
"Proposals to end conversion therapy not only put at risk the individual freedom of people who are attracted to those of the same sex, but they also place religious freedom in jeopardy. This is not concern restricted to specific practices, organisations or ministries that provide services to people experiencing same sex attraction – although it will affect them. This will threaten the everyday practices of churches, church leaders, and Christians across the UK."
Criticising the Government's lack of definition of conversion therapy, Mr Lynas told WalesOnline in March that the "historical" view held by Evangelical Christians would make it important for non-heterosexual people to obtain "counsel."
"The UK has changed it's legislation on marriage, and I have no problem with that", Mr Lynas said.
"The Marriage Act specifically says that for deeply held religious beliefs you can hold a different view. The historical view held by Evangelical Christians, is that marriage is between a man and a woman.
"Therefore as a consequence of that we say it's really important to be able to counsel people around that belief and around that understanding."
