“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.”

Our assessments and interventions focus on young people who display inappropriate and harmful or sexual behaviors. This includes addressing the underlying causes, managing risks, and fostering safer behavior patterns. We tailor our approach to the individual’s needs, ensuring that interventions are both effective and sensitive.
Referrals are typically made by professionals such as social workers, probation officers, healthcare providers, or educational staff. If you are unsure whether you can make a referral, please contact us directly for guidance.
Our assessments are needs-based and consist of:
The Good Lives Model is a holistic framework designed to address the underlying needs that may contribute to harmful behaviors. By focusing on building strengths, enhancing well-being, and meeting individual needs, the GLM helps reduce the risk of reoffending while supporting personal growth and resilience.
Yes, family involvement is often critical to achieving positive outcomes. We provide direct family support or work alongside referring agencies to ensure families are equipped to support the young person.
Yes, we offer specialised therapeutic programs for children under 12. These programs include assessments, interventions, and close collaboration with families, schools, and other professionals to address the child’s needs in a supportive and safe environment.
Absolutely. We offer a range of training programs for professionals working with young people who display harmful sexual behavior. These include introductory, intermediate, and advanced courses, as well as customized training tailored to your organization’s needs.
Our work is grounded in evidence-based practices. A retrospective study showed that 92.5% of young people who completed our interventions did not commit a subsequent sexual offense. Our approach emphasizes long-term change by addressing the root causes of inappropriate and harmful sexual behaviours.
