Our People

PartnershipProjects is an organisation providing a wide range of specialist services based on Non-Violent Resistance (NVR), for child-to-parent violence and abuse, self-destructive and controlling behaviour, anxiety, adult entrenched dependency, risk of criminal or sexual exploitation, child and parent trauma. We provide consultation to professionals, clinical supervision, training and direct client work.

PartnershipProjects was formed by Dr Peter Jakob in 2006. Dr Jakob pioneered the introduction of Non-Violent Resistance (NVR) in the UK. Since then, the organisation has grown and developed (just as NVR has) and since 2021 has been led by three directors: Rachael AylmerJackie Lindeck and Gabrielle Stirling.  They continue to innovate, expand and advance the company – whilst holding dear to their hearts the principles and ethos of NVR. They are also extremely proud to have received recognition through winning a number of awards, and continuing to obtain outstanding feedback for the services they provide. 

If you would like to work with any of our practitioners please contact us.
