THERAPY FOR PROFESSIONALS IN FORENSIC & JUSTICE SETTINGS

Professionals working within forensic and justice environments carry a type of psychological weight that is rarely spoken about. Exposure to trauma, risk, violence, moral conflict, and institutional pressure can leave profound impacts — even on the most experienced practitioners. I offer confidential therapy specifically for those who work in these high-stakes roles and need a space to be human, not just professional.

This service is for individuals such as:

• Forensic psychologists and clinicians
   
• Probation officers and offender managers
   
• Prison officers and secure unit staff
   
• Forensic and mental health nurses
   
• Police officers and custody staff
   
• Social workers in justice, safeguarding or child protection roles
   

 Working in environments shaped by harm, risk and accountability can lead to:

• Chronic stress, burnout or emotional shutdown
   
• Exposure to traumatic material and human suffering
   
• Moral injury — conflict between personal values and institutional demands
   
• Guilt, shame or responsibility for decisions affecting others
   
• Isolation, secrecy or feeling “unable to talk” outside work
   
• Internal conflict about safety, authority, care and control
   

Therapy offers a safe, confidential space to process what your role has required you to carry — including anger, fear, shame, grief, or loss of meaning.

I draw on evidence-based models including Schema Therapy, DBT, EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS), adapted for those in professional roles. These approaches support deeper reflection on identity, responsibility and impact — not just coping strategies — and help to restore inner stability, compassion and clarity.

This work is not supervision or performance review. It is therapeutic space focused on personal wellbeing, emotional health and professional integrity.

In high-risk settings, strength is often seen as silence. Therapy offers the opposite — a protected space to speak honestly, without fear of consequence, and to reconnect with the person behind the role. This may include processing past events, workplace trauma, or the cost of sustaining responsibility for others.
