A Message from Adi:

“As the founder of CP, the core values of safe, collaborative, evidence-based, bespoke, integrative, holistic, inclusive and neuroaffirming are based on the guiding values that are central to my own practice. Each therapist will have their unique approach; I prefer to work in an integrative and holistic manner, taking into account the whole individual and drawing from several evidence-based therapeutic modalities. This means that treatment is uniquely tailored to the needs of each individual I work with, as I believe there is no ‘one size fits all’. I have ensured that each therapist at CP has been carefully selected to align with these values.

I am passionate about de-stigmatising therapy, and it is my belief that we all deserve and can benefit from having a safe space to feel heard. There is no issue too big, too small, or too peculiar for therapy. It is my aim to provide you with a safe environment to explore your concerns, without fearing judgement.

My special interest in working with neurodivergent individuals comes from my personal experience as a neurodivergent ‘ADHDer’. By learning about neurodiversity, I have felt how healing it can be to make sense of lifelong difficulties through a more compassionate lens. This has enabled me to embrace these differences, recognise the strengths, and organise my life to best support my needs.”
