Where difference belongs
Evidence‑based psychological care, committed to access and inclusion.
Who we are
Outcast Psychology is a values‑led practice offering psychological consultations and therapy with HCPC‑registered Psychologists. It was created in response to a gap we noticed: long waits or time‑limited support in public and third‑sector services on one side, and high‑cost private therapy on the other, where lower‑cost options are often only available with trainee rather than qualified therapists. Outcast Psychology aims to offer psychological services that are both clinically rigorous and more financially accessible, using a means‑based fee structure so that support from qualified psychologists is not only available at industry standard rates.
All services are provided by an HCPC‑registered Practitioner Psychologist. Practitioner Psychologists include Counselling, Clinical, Health, Educational, and Sport and Exercise Psychologists, all of which are legally protected titles. This means your therapist has completed rigorous, accredited training and met the standards required to register with the HCPC, the UK regulator for practitioner psychologists. The HCPC sets and monitors strict standards for education, clinical skills, conduct, and ethics to protect the public. Whatever fee you pay, you will always work with a qualified, HCPC‑registered Practitioner Psychologist.
Who we
work with
We welcome people experiencing a wide range of difficulties. In particular, we are interested in supporting those who have felt othered in different systems, whether that is within families, communities, workplaces, or around their own identities. For anyone who has felt different, unseen, or as though parts of who they are have never really had room to exist. We recognise that a sense of not quite belonging can sometimes arrive suddenly, and at other times be a longstanding thread. At Outcast Psychology, these experiences sit at the centre of how we think about distress, identity, and feeling more at home in ourselves.
We are interested in the meanings behind symptoms: what has happened to you, what you have had to do to get by, and how your experiences have come to make sense in the context of your life.
How we work
-
We do not assume one therapy works for everyone; we get to know who you are and what you’ve experienced to find the best way forward for you.
-
We pay attention to how your experiences of safety, trust, choice, collaboration and empowerment shape your relationships with yourself, others and the world around you.
-
We try not to reduce people to symptoms, diagnoses, or narrow ideas of what is “normal.” We think about your distress in context, and stay open to different histories, identities, and ways of making sense of experience.
