Advocating for difference as a social norm

We recognise the need for difference to be normalised in society. Appearance, relationship and neuro diversity are a fact of life for many individuals and yet all are still widely under-represented and unacknowledged in mainstream counselling and psychotherapy. We’re here to change that!

Who Are We?

We are a progressive, forward thinking Counselling and Psychotherapy practice, actively engaging with difference. We provide therapeutic support, education and advocacy for individuals 18+ who experience the world through an alternative lens.

Our work centres around supporting individuals who experience feelings of ‘difference’ and ‘otherness’ when relating socially with others.

Therapy With A Difference – Let’s Play!

Not only do we advocate for difference being recognised as a societal normalcy, we’re also a UK based therapy practice embracing the geek/nerd culture, by bringing curiosity and play into the therapeutic space.

Lived Experience

Our rapidly growing multi-disciplinary team of therapists managed from our base in Bristol UK, are all experienced and knowledgeable practitioners within the field of counselling, psychotherapy and psychology, with a strong focus on continued professional development through in-house training and regular supervision.

Our therapists are carefully selected based on their own lived experience of difference, so that you receive the upmost care, compassion and understanding in your therapy sessions.

WHAT DO WE OFFER?

1:1 ONLINE THERAPY

We provide 1:1 online counselling and psychotherapy for individuals 18+ in the UK living with a form of difference. Get in touch below to find out more.

GROUP THERAPY

Bringing curiosity and play into therapeutic spaces.

Alongside our 1:1 Counselling and Psychotherapy sessions, we also provide opportunities to attend experiential group therapy sessions.

Centred around the table top role playing game Dungeons and Dragons, each ‘Group Therapy Campaign’ consists of weekly group therapy sessions for six weeks. These groups consist of eight people maximum and are ran by our qualified therapists.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to open up the conversation around difference, both in society and within the helping professions to provide more support and advocacy to under represented individuals.

We acknowledge how living with a difference can affect your social identity and the different modes of discrimination and privilege that play a part in it. We understand the complexity of the human experience and we also understand that this is still highly under represented in mainstream therapy.

Our aim is to build a growing practice, encompassing the wide spectrum of human experience that falls under the umbrella of difference.

We are here to create a safe space for healing whilst building community and social engagement through our medium.
