South-East London · Worker Cooperative

Owned by therapists. Driven by care.

Common Ground Therapy is a not-for-profit social enterprise for local communities in south-east London — owned and run by the therapists who work here.

Who we are

Cooperating as therapists, serving our communities.

What brings us together, cooperating as therapists, is a wish to make therapy more affordable and accessible for those who need it most. We believe therapists provide higher quality therapy when they are fully responsible, empowered and fulfilled by shared ownership of where they work.

Common Ground Therapy provides a range of high-quality therapy services to individuals, couples, families and organisations. Sessions can be delivered via telephone, online or in-person.

Our ethos

Democracy at work. Therapy without exploitation.

Read about the co-op

No one gets pressured into burning out. Built-in transparency means no one gets overcharged to rent their therapy room.

No one can get rich off anyone else's work — profits stay in the south-east London community.

No one makes business decisions without the involvement and consent of those they affect.

No one owns more of the business than anyone else. Every voice belongs and is heard.


Our therapists

Experienced, qualified, and fully invested.

All of our therapists are fully qualified, insured, supervised, and regulated by their respective governing bodies. As co-op members, they are also invested in the long-term success of the practice and the communities it serves.
