OUR TEAM

Meet our qualified and trainee therapists who work with individual clients.

I am Louise Sinclair and I am a fully qualified counsellor and member of the BACP.

There may be many reasons to consider counselling including trying to work through difficult emotions, coping with bereavement or loss or living with the consequences of surviving trauma. I have a range of experience working with people who have faced many emotional challenges. I can support you to face these challenges and work through them. I am committed to working with you and the time we spend together will be focused on you and what you want to achieve.

I am passionate about helping people and believe in the difference counselling can make when we work together to process your experiences and feelings.

My name is Dawn and I am a trainee therapist using the practice of Transactional Analysis (TA).

Within each of us lies fragments of our past where we unconsciously adopted certain patterns of thinking, feeling and behaviour that have developed over time and may now need conscious reflection to adapt, making positive changes towards a new and healthy way of living.

My intention is to work alongside my clients to successfully identify and explore these patterns. When working together the most important element for me is to sensitively create an open, warm and safe environment where we can work together to both navigate this personal journey of growth and self-discovery and to support the many feelings and emotions that may arise.

I have a particular interest in working with clients who would like to improve personal relationships, emotional struggles, self-esteem and who also wish to understand themselves on a deeper level.

I am a student member of UKATA and BACP.

Hi, I’m Vicki and I am a qualified therapist trained in Transactional Analysis (TA).  My journey towards working therapeutically began through my lived experience which has given me a profound appreciation for the courage it takes to begin therapy.

As a naturally curious person, I have a deep interest in people and how they experience themselves, others and the world.

I honour and actively account for difference and diversity in all its forms, striving to create a therapeutic space that upholds the dignity, autonomy, and unique lived experience of every client.

My special interest is supporting individuals living with the impact of trauma, whether recent or from childhood. This can manifest in many ways, including; low mood, anxiety, burnout, disordered eating, self-harm, relationship difficulties, a poor sense of self, and emotional dysregulation.

With over 15 years experience working in education, including additional responsibility for health and wellbeing, I have a strong awareness of the barriers to learning people experience as well as the emotional and psychological impacts of these.

Many of the challenges people bring to therapy have roots in unconscious patterns and protective strategies that no longer serve them in the way they once did.

My ethos centres on establishing a safe, supportive therapeutic relationship built on trust and this is the foundation for all the work we do together.  I work collaboratively with my clients to explore their therapeutic goals, staying attuned to their needs and responding sensitively to whatever emerges in the room.

By prioritising emotional and physiological safety, my hope is that my clients are able to explore new ways of relating to themselves and others, while also acknowledging and honouring the protective strategies that helped them navigate earlier life experiences.

I am a member of BACP and UKATA.

Hi my name is Ruth and I am a qualified counsellor specialising in Person Centred and Integrative Therapy.

My background is in Occupational Therapy and Health Studies and I work in the 3rd sector with adults who are struggling with addiction and mental health. With my compassionate, non-judgmental and confidential approach, I strive to ensure my clients feel seen and heard. I am passionate about helping people to fulfil their full potential.

Hello, my name is Shaun and I am a trainee psychotherapist specialising in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

I am a curious individual who will support you to detangle whatever challenges you are facing.

CBT follows an evidence-based process that highlights the influence of our Thoughts, Feelings and Behaviours and the impact this has on our mental health. By utilising the structure of CBT, I will guide you along the path to your desired goals and outcomes.  In learning this process, you will develop new skills and build confidence in maintaining your mental health.

Hello, my name is Aysha. I am a qualified counsellor using the Psychodynamic approach and I have a special interest and additional training in trauma and somatics.

I provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgemental space for us to work together, exploring the issues that are affecting you. Working Psychodynamically means we consider how your past experiences may be affecting the present, perhaps through repeated patterns of behaviour or through unconscious defence mechanisms. We will work together to bring awareness to these unconscious patterns and how they arose, with the aim of empowering you to make more conscious choices in your relationships and for yourself. I am an individual member of BACP and working towards full member registration.

My name is Chantal and I am a qualified Psychodynamic counsellor which highlights the significance of the unconscious mind, defence mechanisms and the impact our early childhood experiences can have on how we feel about the world, relationships and ourselves.

Whether you feel stuck in life, conflicted, anxious or depressed and don’t know why, I create a therapeutic safe space where you will feel seen, heard and valued as a person. I strive to help my clients uncover underlying meanings, patterns, and conflicts, facilitating deeper self-understanding and personal growth. As a reflective practitioner, I focus on tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs and goals of each individual client, drawing from a range of theories and techniques as appropriate.

Hi, I’m Laura and I am a trainee integrative counsellor.

By drawing from a range of counselling styles depending on my client’s needs, I meet each individual where they are and work with them to establish a therapeutic relationship as the basis for our work together.

As well as creating a safe space, I recognise the importance of supporting clients to work at their own pace.

I am here to listen to whatever my clients bring and to support them to achieve their goals or make changes in their lives.

My name is Lauren and I’m currently training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

I have worked therapeutically with people for several years, including in the NHS and third-sector services. I draw on this experience in my work and adapt my approach to the individual.

My experience includes working with neurodiversity, trauma, bereavement, fertility, addiction, relationship challenges, and LGBT+.

As a therapist, I work collaboratively and compassionately with you to help you develop insight about yourself and your relationships with others. In doing so, we explore your thoughts, behaviours, and emotions, and work towards your goals.
I hold a Graduate Membership with the BPS, and a student membership with the BABCP

Hello, my name is Zoie, and I’m a trainee counsellor working with an integrative approach.

I use a blend of different therapy methods, including person-centred, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), and Transactional Analysis (TA). My therapy philosophy centres around the belief that everyone has the capacity for growth and healing. I strive to create a genuine, supportive environment where you can feel safe to explore your thoughts and feelings without judgement. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is essential, and I am here to walk alongside you as we navigate challenges together. My goal is to empower you to overcome obstacles and achieve your personal aspirations, fostering resilience and a renewed sense of self weather you come alone or with your partner.

I have more than three years of experience working with adults on their mental health in various community roles. Most recently, I supported women who have survived domestic abuse. I am especially interested in helping clients deal with the effects of trauma, whether it’s recent or from childhood.
I hold a student membership with both COSCA and BACP.

Hi! My name is Lynsey, and I am an experienced counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I offer counselling sessions for individuals online, via Zoom, providing a convenient  way to access support.

I have a passion for inclusion and a strong desire to make counselling as accessible as possible for everyone. Currently, I am working towards my Level 3 British Sign Language (BSL) qualification to further expand my ability to support clients from diverse backgrounds and with varying needs. Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with clients with additional support needs, including hearing impairments, autism, ADHD, cerebral palsy, chronic pain, and more.

With a broad background in working with children, young people, and adults, I have gained extensive experience across various settings. I began my career working in primary schools with children aged 5 to 12, using art and play therapy to support emotional and psychological development. During this time, I worked with children with diverse needs, helping them navigate their challenges in a supportive and compassionate environment.

Currently, I work in secondary schools with teenagers aged 12 to 18, continuing to support students facing a wide range of emotional and developmental challenges. Additionally, I work in social work with young people aged 16 to 26, focusing on care-experienced individuals, including those transitioning out of care, navigating ongoing court cases, or rebuilding their lives after prison.  Part of this role also involves working with Lifelong Links to help clients reconnect with their biological family members.

My name is Hazel and I am a trainee therapist in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

I am registered with the NMC and I am a student member of the BABCP.

In 1995 I qualified as a Registered Learning Disability Nurse. I have been practising as a Nurse in Neuro-Rehabilitation for the past twenty years alongside patients and their families who have experienced trauma and may suffer from neurological conditions that have a huge impact on their lives, physically and mentally. Working in Neuro-Rehabilitation I have gained experience working with people of all age ranges from adolescents upwards, who have suffered from traumatic events, depression, anxiety, personality disorders and cognitive impairment.

With CBT, together we will explore and try to make sense of why you have certain struggles in life, and why you think and behave in certain ways which then results in having a negative impact on your life.

My aim is to work together with you collaboratively, finding the link from your past that causes you to feel and behave the way you do now.  I will provide a safe, comfortable and confidential place for you, and together we shall set goals to make the changes needed to find “YOU” again.

Hi, I’m Morag—a trainee counsellor specialising in integrative therapies. I draw on person-centred, psychodynamic, and somatic approaches, tailoring my work to meet the unique needs of each individual.

I bring with me a long and rewarding career as a Social Worker in health and social care, which has given me valuable insight into a wide range of physical and mental health issues, and the profound impact they can have on people’s lives.

I believe that everyone is deserving of respect—always. By providing a safe, supportive space to explore thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and patterns, I aim to help individuals uncover new ways of being. I believe the answers often already lie within us; therapy can help draw them out, making sense of the past in order to live more fully in the present—and move towards creating the future you desire.  I am currently a student member of COSCA.

Hi, I’m Hannah  and I am a trainee psychodynamic therapist.

Psychodynamic therapy is a form of talking therapy that explores how your past experiences, often from childhood, unconsciously shape your present thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. By bringing these patterns into awareness, we create space for deeper understanding, healing, and lasting change.

I offer a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental space for you to open up and explore whatever is on your mind — whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply want to understand yourself more fully. Together, we’ll work at your pace, building insight and clarity, so you can move forward with more freedom and self-compassion.
