Private and Group Consultations
Informed perspective and thoughtful discussion for those navigating life after high-control groups — either in a guided group format or privately, on your terms, at your pace.
These sessions draw on over 14 years of research, writing, and analysis in the field of cults and high-control groups. They are offered in a spirit of empowerment, not prescription — to help you think more clearly, not to tell you what to do.

Please note: Lloyd is not a licensed mental health practitioner and is not a certified life coach. These consultations are not therapy, counselling, or crisis support. If you are experiencing acute distress, suicidal thoughts, or a mental health emergency, please contact a qualified professional or emergency services.
