Therapist, Writer, Campaigner and Founder of Just Therapy

I have spent years fighting back against dangerous ideologies that have taken over the world of psychotherapy and impacted upon the wellbeing of clients. I have had personal victories and vindication in this space, including forcing the UK Council for Psychotherapy to acknowledge the valid professional belief that children should not be irreversibly medicalised in the name of gender ideology.

Now, I am pleased to announce that I am stepping back into private practice and offering a limited number of slots to clients who would like to have therapy with me. If you would like to see some examples of the type of issues you can bring to therapy with me, head to the Issues You Can Bring To Therapy page.

My principles

Crucially, as Founder of Just Therapy, you will have my pledge that I will abide by the following principles:

Non-Judgement

I won’t pass judgement on you because of your beliefs, opinions, or viewpoints, political or otherwise.

Neutrality

I won’t preach or push ideologies on you, such as gender ideology or critical race theory. I am a therapist, not an activist.

Identity-Politics Free Zone

I will view you as the individual that you are and not make assumptions about you, positive or negative, just because of your skin colour, religion, sex or indeed any other characteristic.

Evidence-Based Practise

I am guided by scientific and evidence-based theories.

Exploration, Not Affirmation

I do not view my purpose as being to tell you whatever you want to hear. I explore what you bring to sessions openly and may even challenge you, in order to help you get to where you need to be.

Resilience

I am not fragile, in need of safe spaces or trigger warnings.  My goal is to build up your strength and resiliency, rather than enabling self-perpetuating narratives of victimhood.

Free Speech

I believe that human beings and societies flourish when they embrace free speech and do not attempt to shut others down.
