What We Do
Adoption and childhood trauma can have a deep and lasting impact. Whether someone is an adopted person, a birth relative, or an adoptive parent, these experiences can bring emotional, psychological, social, and identity-related challenges. The effects often reach into all areas of life — from wellbeing and resilience to relationships and sense of self.
Specialist emotional and therapeutic support
Healing and Understanding
We provide specialist emotional and therapeutic support for adults and families affected by adoption and childhood trauma. Our aim is not only to support healing and understanding, but also to shine a light on the unique and often hidden challenges faced by those living with these experiences.
Our Belief
No Shame is grounded in the belief that no one should feel shame- whether its related to adoption, placing a child for adoption; accessing mental health support or being raised in care. For far too long, especially during the era of historic adoption, society treated having a child out of marriage as something shameful. As a result many birth mothers have carried a lifelong burden of secrecy and silence, often without the support or understanding they deserve. Thankfully, times have changed and today there is greater openness and acceptance of diverse family structures and a growing recognition that there is no single path to living a good loving or meaningful life.
We are proud to be part of a movement that values compassion, inclusion, and emotional wellbeing. We believe that seeking mental health support is a courageous act—not a weakness.
