Decolonising Therapy
Why We’re Different
We’re a team of racialised therapists and trainees who provide culturally responsive therapy to racialised communities. We believe in our right to heal away from the white gaze.
We have a decolonial, intersectional and anti-oppressive approach to therapy that is grounded in principles of intersectional feminism, Black Liberation and Black Psychology.
We acknowledge the impact of violent systems on mental health, using therapy as a tool to actively dismantle oppression and bring about collective liberation.
We’re critical of our training and the violent roots of Western psychiatry and psychology, integrating African-Centred and Indigenous practices to reduce harm.
We welcome those with multiple marginalised identities including LGBTQ+, gender diverse, neurodivergent and disabled communities as intersectionality is a key tenet of social justice work.
We campaign for justice in the mental health profession, which includes widening access therapy, reducing harm for racialised trainees and advocating for anti-oppressive practice within services.
We’re committed to excellent standards of care and we were nominated for Best Mental Health Service of the Year Award (2024)
