Therapy shaped around you

Your culture, faith, values, identity and relationships may be deeply relevant to the work, but none will be treated as a ready-made explanation for your difficulties. I welcome enquiries from LGBTQ+ clients and from people across religious, cultural, political and family traditions. I also receive enquiries concerning domestic abuse, coercive control and concerns about harmful or controlling behaviour. We would first consider safety, suitability and whether individual therapy, a specialist service or another form of support is most appropriate. Joint therapy is not automatically suitable where abuse or coercive control is present. Affirmative practice means taking your experience and self-understanding seriously while remaining open to complexity and to meanings that develop through our work together.
