CONSULTATIONS

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.

What Clients Say

Consulting sessions with Lloyd were immensely helpful in exploring some post cult exit dynamics, and he was supportive and understanding around navigating the challenges of parenting post cult exit. Lloyd is incredibly knowledgeable about Jehovah's Witnesses and consulting sessions with Lloyd are money well spent if you have a challenging situation where in-depth knowledge about JWs is going to be helpful.

— Ex-JW Parent, UK

Lloyd's content played a huge role in my deconstruction after waking up and becoming an inactive Jehovah's Witness, then disassociating from the group altogether. I genuinely credit his research and explanations with helping me reach the peace of mind I have today. They gave me the confidence to let go of the belief that Jehovah's Witnesses had the truth, and allowing me to move forward with my life far more quickly than I think I otherwise would have. Our consultation was equally valuable. Lloyd was thoughtful, reassuring, and generous with his time. It was incredibly helpful to bounce ideas off someone with such extensive knowledge and experience in this area. I came away feeling more confident in my thinking and with greater clarity about the direction I want to take. I'm very grateful for his support and would highly recommend a consultation to anyone navigating deconstruction or recovery from a high-control religious group.

So grateful for my sessions with Lloyd. I booked a consultation with him after a friend of mine who has sessions with him spoke highly of the experience. I'd also heard positive feedback from others within the ex-JW community who had consulted with him. At the time, I was struggling to work through a particularly difficult situation and wanted to speak with someone who genuinely understood the impact of growing up as a Jehovah's Witness and leaving the religion. I'd previously seen various mental health professionals, but often found myself spending much of the session explaining aspects of the religion and left feeling misunderstood, frustrated and disappointed. The sessions with Lloyd have been far more beneficial. He understands the context without requiring an explanation, which means we focus on what I'm actually struggling with. His thoughtful questions have helped me consider perspectives I hadn't previously thought about. I've gained far more clarity and practical ways to process and navigate what I've been feeling. For anyone navigating life after leaving JW, another high-control religion, working through the lasting effects of a religious upbringing, trying to navigate a difficult situation with greater clarity, I would highly recommend a consultation with Lloyd.
