Who we are
Our friendly team has a broad range of experience focused on person-centred and relational practice.
Likewise staff all come from different backgrounds, but are united by our commitment to our shared values and the importance we place on cultivating wellbeing by building authentic, strong relationships with each other. We love learning and trying new things, and are proud of the community we build together.
Our leadership
Likewise is led by two Co-Directors, Matt Shepherd and Hugo Reggiani, who bring a diverse set of experiences to the organisation. With a background in psychotherapy, mental health and education, Matt has led organisations in the charity sector since 2005. After working in international development, Hugo came to Likewise in 2015 immersing himself in delivering, developing and evolving our approach to client work before becoming Co-Director.
Our current board of trustees brings expertise and experience from leadership roles in public sector, social enterprise, community asset development, urban regeneration, mental health services and NHS social care policy work. We also have board members with expertise in finance, communications and marketing. Our chair is experienced in co-production and community mental health services in Camden. Two thirds of our trustees have lived experience of personal mental health challenges, and many have experience of caring for someone with mental health challenges.
