Psychotherapy that denies consideration of a person's race, gender or cultural values can only fragment that person” Jafer Kareem LAPP is an equal opportunities organisation working within the statutory requirements and guidance of the Equal Opportunities Commission's code of practice and the Commission for Racial Equality's code of practice, taking available guidance from the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy. LAPP is actively committed to issues of equal opportunities and issues of intercultural practice, providing psychotherapy to clients of diverse backgrounds. We are committed to providing a high standard of practice and equality of service provision to all regardless of race, culture, sexuality, gender, religion, disability, age or marital status. LAPP is committed towards pursuing a positive strategy to acknowledge that diversity and difference exist as richly unique and positive parts of a person's make up, while recognising that direct, indirect, conscious and unconscious discrimination against differences exists in society which, serve to disadvantage and oppress people and groups. In our opinion Equal Opportunities is not just about treating everyone the same. It is necessary to endeavour to provide a level playing field for all clients. That may mean doing something extra for a disabled person to get the same service as an able bodied person.
