    Working in this way is an expression of Kwabena’s creativity, flexibility, and adaptability when working with clients.

    These strengths have helped tailor his approach to meet the unique needs and goals of each client.

    The BAATN organisation, amongst its other services supporting therapist, serves Kwabena by assisting increasing his knowledge and participation of decolonising western therapeutic modalities.

    Being part of these organisations is one of the ways Kwabena demonstrates commitment to his on-going development as a Practitioner in a profession he finds enjoyable. This passion keep’s you, the client, at the centre of this service, which in turn creates a psychological safety for the client and builds upon the therapeutic relationship.

    Adding Kwabena’s years of lived experience, he has come to incorporate the ‘Western ways’ of therapeutic training, with ‘Eastern thought, from his years of Vipassana and Reiki practice, which is inspired by his ancestral African roots.
