Values


We believe that:

mental distress has its origin in failed and inadequate attachment relationships in early life and is best treated in the context of a long-term human relationship.

attachment relationships are shaped in the real world and impacted upon by poverty, discrimination and social inequality. The impact of the social world will be part of the therapy.

psychotherapy should be available to all, and from an attachment-based psychoanalytic perspective, especially those discriminated against or described as “unsuitable” for therapy.

psychotherapy should be provided with respect, warmth, openness, a readiness to interact and relate, and free from discrimination of any kind.

those who have been silenced about their experiences and survival strategies must have their reality acknowledged and not pathologised.


CAPP values inclusiveness, access, diversity, authenticity and excellence.
