Join us as an Associate.

We recognise that making the choice to come to private therapy can be a huge investment for many people, and they often come to us when other avenues of seeking support (e.g. friend, family, NHS) haven’t been accessible or felt helpful enough. We approach our work with kindness and care as the foundation of all our interactions and the rest follows.

We strive to be a therapy service that is evidence-based and generates meaningful change for people seeking support from us. With that in mind, we ensure that we offer theoretically grounded, formulation-driven interventions with regular check-ins on progress towards therapy goals.

Working in a culturally sensitive manner is at the heart of our work here at ABODE. While grounded in evidence-based practice, we also strive to offer a person-centred approach, with cultural sensitivity as a given. We understand that each client is unique, and that their personal stories are shaped not only by experiences, but by their cultural backgrounds, communities, language and ways of understanding distress.

We hold in mind our own cultural backgrounds as therapists, and reflect on how it influences our practice and interacts with clients in the therapeutic relationship. We are aware of the western roots of much of the psychology we practice, and strive to constantly broaden our minds and learning, think flexibly, formulate sensitively and reflexively, and above all listen to our clients' ways of understanding their difficulties, and support the use of tools their culture has given them to express themselves, and overcome the current challenges they face.

We have invested a lot of time in developing a service that offers a sleek experience to both the people seeking therapy from us, and to clinicians using the platform. To uphold this value, we strive to reply quickly when we can, have regular availability in our diaries, and be familiar with the ABODE system so that we can direct and guide our clients and answer any questions they have.
