Is Kultivate Psychological Support for you?
If you are looking for a therapist for disabilities or chronic health conditions, who is more than ‘disability friendly’ or ‘disability aware’. Our Disabled Psychologists all have lived or living experiences of disabilities.
They also have professional experience of over a decade supporting others in a neurodiversity affirming way, providing the support you need to accept your disability, adjust to a new diagnosis, and find ways to live happier with disability or as a chronically ill person.
We understand the grief and loss that comes with living with or becoming a disabled person, management of chronic pain, and continuously work to shift our own internalised ableism and biases.
