The framework of your life has shifted, and now you feel lost and alone.
 
Whether you're quietly questioning, walking away, or dealing with the harm religion left behind - this is a space to breathe and process.

Hi, I'm David, a BACP registered integrative therapist based in London, working online with people across the UK.

I have spent over twenty years inside religious communities, so I understand the culture, the language and the unspoken rules. You won't have to explain the basics, and you won't be judged for where you've landed.

 

I'm not here to restore your faith or take it from you - this is your process, and my job is to help you feel less alone in it.

Who I work with... 

Those Leaving Faith 
Grieving a community, a belief system, or a version of yourself you're no longer sure fits. Faith deconstruction isn't just intellectual - it can bring guilt, anger, fear and a grief that's hard to explain to anyone still inside.

The LGBTQIA+ Community
Growing up where who you are was unwelcome, unspoken, or something to hide and carrying that into how safe you feel now, even in spaces meant to be accepting. This is an affirming space where every part of your story is welcome.

Those carrying religious trauma or spiritual abuse

Sometimes it's more than doubt. If religion was used to control, shame or silence you (what's often called religious trauma or church hurt) the effects can stay in your body long after you've left: anxiety, perfectionism, fear of punishment, difficulty trusting yourself. Therapy can help you untangle what was done to you from who you are.

Parenting without repeating the past 
Wanting to raise your children with warmth instead of fear, while still untangling the patterns (guilt, control, certainty) you inherited and didn't choose.
