Adult Adoption Counselling
Therapeutic support for adults affected by adoption in Buckingham & Online
We are two BACP Accredited therapists based in Buckingham, who are Somatic-Trauma informed therapists, qualified in Adoption support counselling.
Accessing Therapy
Historically there have been restrictions to adult adoptees easily accessing counselling support due to legal restrictions. However, since December 2023 there was a law change which has meant that this restriction is no longer in place. Adoptees, birth parents and adoptive parents who are aged over 18 in England now have the freedom to choose where to access therapy. For this particular community this is a significant and welcome change for those where the legacy of the adoption process can have a life-long impact.
Our Approach
As therapists with several years experience between us, we were acutely aware of the restrictions this old law had on our capacity to provide good quality therapeutic support. This fuelled a passion to provide accessibility to specialised adoption therapy, incorporating a 3 phased trauma informed approach.
Special Guardianship
It also feels important to mention those who have taken on Special Guardianship roles, as a group that can often be overlooked, also come under the umbrella of adoption, and could possibly benefit from this specialised therapy.
