If deconstruction were a spiritual movement, it would be the fastest-growing one in the Western world.
2,300,000
fewer Americans identify with Christianity each year[1]
7,111,000
more Americans identify as “nones” each year[1]
only 34%
of Americans attend church at least once a week.[2]
And its not just America…
1.25%
less of the UK population identify with Christianity each year[3]
1.17%
less of the Australian population identify with Christianity each year[4]
only 9%
of Germans now attend church at least once a week.[5]
What I do…
Research
Generally speaking, deconstruction makes fundamentals very scared. It represents something beyond their absolute, final truth.
At worst, many people flat-out lie about it to control the narrative. At best, most of the time, people are simply not able to understand it from their current worldview.
I am conducting research in the area of faith deconstruction via The Deconstruction Network, with the hope that by giving a voice to this marginalised group, the narrative might become more accurate.
Online Coaching
While many who deconstruct will find shared experiences with one another, each journey is ultimately profoundly unique to the individual. This means the path they will take moving forward is something nobody can set for them; indeed, a huge part of deconstruction is to learn to think for oneself & trust your decisions. Simply put, you are the expert of your deconstruction!
I have supported people going through this journey for over a decade and have trained as a psychotherapist in the UK. I currently offer 1-1 therapy in the UK and therapeutic coaching internationally. Sessions facilitate people’s healing from their past & taking control of their lives moving forward.
I also chat with people on Instagram most weekdays, so feel free to send me a DM.
Connecting People
Deconstruction is a lonely path. Religions are often structured to isolate people from outsiders. This means that deconstruction can cost people their marriages, families, friends & community.
They often find that neither those outside nor those still inside understand what they have been through.
I create online spaces where people can connect with others who share similar interests and experiences. I also created The Deconstruction Network where people can connect with others deconstructing in their local area. ,
Creating Free Content
Most people coming out of fundamental religions have experienced to one degree or another some form of financial abuse.
For that reason, I believe it’s essential that there are lots of high-quality, informative resources available. I create my content with two primary goals in mind: to educate people about deconstruction and to provide tools that may assist those navigating deconstruction on their own.
I have over 250 hours of video, blogs, research articles, and more. All are available completely free.
