Mr Jarell Bempong
Counselor (Unregistered)
“Award-winning founder of Bempong Talking Therapy™—offering culturally conscious, AI-powered counselling for LGBTQIA+ and global majority clients. Spiral-based tools and trauma-informed care designed for deep healing, identity restoration, and systemic clarity.”
About Me
Approach
My approach is called Spiral Liberation Psychotherapy. It’s not about fixing you. It’s about helping you remember who you were before the world told you to fragment.
I created Bempong Talking Therapy™ because I needed something that could hold the full truth of who we are — as people shaped by family, trauma, and systems that were never built with us in mind.
I work with a model I call the Two-Pronged Spiral of Liberation™:
🌀 First, we go inward — unearthing the beliefs you inherited, the survival scripts that once protected you, and the systemic messages that may still whisper “not enough.”
🌀 Then, we move outward — redesigning the way you move through systems, reclaiming your voice, your boundaries, and your rhythm.
Clients often arrive feeling like a fish in polluted water or a frog in slowly boiling heat — adapting, overfunctioning, questioning their sanity. I know that experience. I’ve lived it. And I’ve built a practice that gently says: “You are not the problem. The system is.”
In this space, we don’t slay dragons — we tame them. We honour the parts of you that once felt like ‘too much’ or ‘too broken’ and discover what they were actually trying to protect.
I use a blend of spiral-based reflection, cultural consciousness, and encrypted AI tools like Sage GPT™ — to reflect your tone, beliefs, and emotional patterns back to you, securely and without judgment.
This isn’t traditional therapy. This is a return to truth.
If you’ve ever felt misnamed, misdiagnosed, or misunderstood — this approach was built for you.
Ask a quick question or arrange a time to meet.

🌀 You’re not broken. You’re remembering.
You’re a fish in polluted water, wondering why it’s hard to breathe.
You’re a frog in slowly boiling water, told that the heat is your fault.
You were never the problem. The system was.
And the therapy you received probably told you to adapt to it.
I don’t do that.
I’m Jarell Bempong — a neurodivergent, English-Ghanaian gay man who lived through therapy models that couldn’t see me. So I built something that could.
Bempong Talking Therapy™ is a soul-rooted, culturally precise, AI-augmented system of care—designed not to fix you, but to free you.
This isn’t traditional therapy.
This is Spiral Liberation™ — where forgetting isn’t failure, it’s a sacred setup for remembering who you’ve always been.
Where we don’t slay our dragons — we tame them, walk beside them, and learn their language and ride them to liberation.
🔍 What I Help With
I support adults navigating:
-Burnout from code-switching, masking, and emotional labour
-Anxiety, identity loss, or grief with no name
-Beliefs like “I’m too much,” “I’ll never belong,” “I must hold it all”
-Cultural shame or invisibility in systems not built for you
-Leadership fatigue for change-makers carrying more than their share
🌀 My Method: The Two-Pronged Spiral of Liberation™
Internal Healing
We alchemise inherited scripts, survival strategies, and systemic beliefs through somatic tools, Spiral Time™, and identity reclamation.
Systemic Redesign
We decode power, rebuild boundaries, and co-create rituals for realignment — in your relationships, work, and voice.
You stop adapting to broken systems.
You start scripting your life from the centre.

🧑🤝🧑 Who I Work With
-You don’t need to be a specific “type” of client. But here’s who tends to find deepest resonance here:
-LGBTQIA+ clients navigating grief, visibility, or religious dissonance
-BIPOC / global majority individuals with ancestral trauma or layered identities
-Neurodivergent professionals misread by rigid systems
-Creatives, carers, and system-disruptors holding 12 roles just to survive
And anyone who’s ever been told:
“You’re too much.”
“You’re too sensitive.”
“You’re not quite right.”
This is the room where that story ends.
📚 Published. Proven. Disruptive.
I’m the bestselling author of White Talking Therapy Can’t Think in Black — now archived at Bethlem Royal Hospital, the world’s oldest psychiatric institution.
A place that once pathologised Blackness now shelves my blueprint for liberation.
