I’M JAY PERKINS
I’ve spent over two decades working at the intersection of therapy, community, and systems change; as a youth worker, a psychotherapist, changemaker, senior leader, and the founder of Partisan; a Black-led organisation that spent five and a half years designing alternative help systems alongside Black and minoritised communities across South London and beyond.
I’M JAY PERKINS
My work is rooted in Black communities and shaped by a commitment to social and racial justice, however I work with anyone who is willing to start from a place of exploration and wanting to do the real work, regardless of race, heritage, cultural background, class, gender, sexual orientation, faith, neurodivergence, immigration status, or other intersecting identities. I look to create spaces to understand who you are and what you carry.
I show up as an upstander and an accomplice, not just witnessing what needs to change, but actively joining communities in the work of changing it.

I work with practitioners who are doing work that matters and need a space that takes that seriously. This includes:
• Black and racially minoritised practitioners navigating predominantly white institutions
• Qualified and trainee therapists and counsellors
• Community workers, youth workers, and social workers
• Practitioners working in grassroots and voluntary sector organisations
• Activists and community organisers doing political and social change work
• Organisations looking for contracted reflective practice or group supervision spaces
In summary, I work with people doing emotionally demanding, politically grounded work.
