“Having worked with young people who have attended G-map over a seven-year period, I have observed how a number of our young people feel shame and embarrassment in regards to their sexualised behaviours and find it difficult to talk about their experiences and passed trauma. G-map assists them to address their sexualised behaviours, in a calm, considered and patient approach using the Good Lives Model.
G-map have enabled our young people to improve their wellbeing, form positive relationships, grow their confidence and become more independent. I personally have gained from my experience of working with G-map and feel it has enhanced my practice, which in turn assists the young people I support.”
“My child was very disconnected from the world, lacking confidence, withdrawn. When G-map was brought into a conversation I was against it and didn’t think it would be helpful as my daughter would not talk to strangers or open up.
The G-map team worked miracles they brought my daughter out of her shell in the 2 years they worked with her. Step by step she blossomed into having self care , confidence, strength, achievements a future of possibilities and they brought happiness back.
The G-map team changed my child’s life into positive life with goals to a better person.
I highly recommend the team. So warm and friendly and I loved working with them, they helped me also as a parent.
Thank-you G-map.”
“Rochdale Youth Justice Service have been working with G-map for over 20 years, this has included direct therapeutic work with our young people, staff training and consultancy. Our young people have always developed strong therapeutic relationships with G-map staff that has allowed them to engage in direct work and make good progress. G-map have always been approachable and available when we have needed additional advice and guidance and we continue to value G-map’s knowledge, skills and expertise.”
“I have had the pleasure of working with G-map in my role as Assistant Chief Officer for the National Probation Service…I have been particularly impressed by the knowledge, understanding and professionalism of G-map staff. As the chair of the MAPPA Level 3 meetings, I found G-map’s contributions to be insightful and helpful, striking a perfect balance between genuine care for the service user and understanding of the risks presented and the need for these to be managed.”
Nisha Bakshi
Assistant Chief Officer, National Probation Service
“This particular young person struggled to engage in a meaningful way with all of the professionals he worked with. The team at G-map helped him recognise and overcome his avoidance and used this as one of the central planks of the therapeutic relationship…I feel the workers mirrored a secure attachment relationship which gave the young person a sense of safety he had not previously experienced.”
Andrew Dalton
CAMHS Outreach Social Worker, Children and Young People in Care
“In my view G-map’s grasp of the Good Lives Model (GLM) is profound and they have worked with the model from the inside out, making sensible practice adjustments but preserving its core ideas and ethical heart. In the G-map staff hands the GLM has been transformed into a flexible and clinically sophisticated practice framework capable of integrating cutting edge and effective techniques within a strength based framwework…this book is likely to prove to be a landmark publication in the field of sexual offending and is sure to attract clinicians and researchers alike.”
Professor Tony Ward
Victoria University of Wellington
One young person said: “I’ve done things in the past that I couldn’t talk about…because it hurt too much…when I saw how my behaviour fitted with the Good Lives Model I felt relieved that it was understandable…and it was easier to talk about it to others who understood.”

G-map practitioners and service users
“G-map have done a wonderful job in helping keep our family together. Without their intervention we may have lost our son altogether. They have helped us to understand his behaviour and how to manage it. They do a great job of including the parents in the work that they do with the young people.”
