About Us

A Team of Skilled and Experienced Therapists You Can Trust

At HumanKind, we understand how important it is to know you will feel safe and supported when seeking therapy. That’s why every one of our therapists has completed rigorous training accredited by respected organisations (UKCP, BACP, NSS, and HPCC) and is a fully registered member of their professional body.

Our therapists bring a minimum of 100 client hours’ experience (many much more) and maintain high standards through ongoing supervision, continuing professional development, and often attending their own personal therapy. This commitment ensures you receive the most informed, compassionate, and effective therapy possible. All practitioners work independently and hold professional indemnity insurance for your peace of mind.

Our Approach to Working Together

We offer a range of therapeutic approaches, including Humanistic therapies (Person-Centred, Existential, Gestalt, Internal Family Systems and Transactional Analysis), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic therapy, and trauma-informed approaches such as Lifespan Integration.

We recognise that choosing therapy can feel overwhelming, particularly when there are so many different ways of working. We’d like to reassure you that research consistently shows what matters is not the specific modality, but the quality of the therapeutic relationship - feeling safe, understood, and genuinely met by your therapist is what underpins meaningful and lasting change.

This is where our expertise and compassion come together. Our therapists bring both professional depth and clinical experience, alongside a deeply human, relational approach to their work. We share a commitment to thoughtful, attuned, and individually tailored therapy, often working integratively and drawing flexibly from different approaches to best support your needs. 

About Us

Support that truly makes a difference

Andrea created a safe, supportive space where I felt listened to from day one.

Our Story: Why HumanKind Was Born

Making Therapy Easier to Access and Easier to Trust

Seeking support during difficult times can be a significant step. Yet navigating countless therapist profiles online in search of the right fit can feel overwhelming and disheartening — something Andrea heard time and again from clients.

In response, Andrea established the HumanKind Practice in 2015 with the intention of making that process easier and more reassuring, by bringing together a carefully selected team of experienced therapists who work with warmth, integrity and professionalism at every step of the therapeutic journey.

Along with making therapy easier to access and trust, the HumanKind Practice offers a space that is calm and comfortable for the challenging but rewarding journey that therapy can be.

“It means a great deal to me to know that every person who walks through our door, or works with one of our therapists online, is receiving effective, professional support. I’m incredibly proud of both our clients and our therapists, and of the meaningful work they do together — it’s a privilege to witness it every day.” Andrea Barton, Founder & Psychotherapist
