Are you ready to question everything you’ve been taught about mental health? Liberation starts here…
Mental health professions have a racist and colonial past that stretches into the present-day and perpetuates horrific acts of violence on Global Majority communities. Without a critical approach that challenges our understanding of mental illness, and the role that oppression plays in mental distress, therapists become complicit in causing and maintaining systemic violence. Liberatory practice questions the colonial lens through which therapy is taught, the power differential in the therapeutic relationship and the limitations of Western therapy compared to indigenous and community-based ways of healing. It’s an unshakable commitment to disrupt and unlearn.
Decolonial and Justice-Informed Supervision
We work with Global Majority practitioners and allies who are interested in building a more radical and justice-based approach into their practice. We offer guidance on anti-oppressive interventions and approaches and actively support colleagues to reduce harm in their practice. We also guide practitioners on how to provide culturally attuned support and work with multiple marginalised identities. Contact us to book a 121 session or you can sign up to join our monthly group here.
Employee Wellbeing Support
We offer dedicated support for Global Majority employees within workplace settings and create reflective and restorative spaces where staff can process the impact of marginalisation at work, including microaggressions, isolation, structural inequities, and the expectations of emotional or cognitive labour. Our approach combines culturally attuned therapeutic insight with an understanding of organisational dynamics, offering facilitated group spaces and specialist 121 support. Alongside supporting individuals, we work with organisations to strengthen accountability and care structures so that responsibility for racial justice does not fall on those most affected. Our aim is to foster workplaces that acknowledge systemic oppression, reduce harm and support minoritised voices to be heard
Justice-Based Consultancy
We provide specialist consultancy to organisations and institutions seeking to develop more culturally attuned, equitable, and justice-based approaches to mental health and wellbeing. Drawing on our expertise in anti-oppressive, decolonial and intersectional practice, we support teams to better understand how systemic oppression, racial trauma, and structural power dynamics shape experiences of conflict, leadership, teamwork and broader organisational development. We work across health, education, community and cultural sectors, helping organisations move beyond surface-level diversity initiatives towards meaningful, sustainable change that centres the wellbeing and safety of Global Majority staff, as well as the wider community.
Practitioner Network
Working alone is colonial and for therapists with an anti-oppressive practice having a supportive community is essential to further our work. Our practitioner network is open to Global Majority therapists (including trainees) and allies who share our vision and values. Our network offers specialist CPD, collaboration and networking opportunities, job opportunities and a referral list that is available to members of the public.
