OUR TEAM

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

Hi I’m Niki, I’m a trainee psychotherapist working within the Transactional Analysis (TA) modality.

TA explores how our early experiences shape the ways we think, feel, and relate to others, often through patterns that once helped us cope and make sense of the world.

I aim to provide a space where we can reflect on those experiences and the behaviours they’ve helped shape, so you can work on changing the ones that no longer serve you.

I am a student member of UKATA, the UK Association for Transactional Analysis.

Hello, I’m Daria and I am a trainee psychotherapist in relational Transactional Analysis (TA).

Relational TA focuses on how our sense of self develops through relationships, and how patterns we learned earlier in life can shape the way we experience ourselves and others today. In therapy, I aim to create a collaborative and supportive space where we can explore these patterns together and work towards your greater awareness, sense of connectedness to others and the world, and well-being.

Alongside my psychotherapy training, I have spent many years working in research on the social determinants of physical and mental distress. My current work also looks at technologically driven behavioural addictions, including gambling and other digital environments.

Having lived in several countries, I bring particular sensitivity to questions of migration, cultural identity, social inequality, and power. I am attentive to how wider social conditions can shape people’s lives, relationships, and sense of self. I offer sessions in English, Russian, and Italian.

I look forward to working with clients from a range of backgrounds and experiences.

Hi, I’m Valentyna, a trainee therapist, primarily practising within the Psychodynamic tradition.

Coming from a background in Psycholinguistics, I bring lived experience and professional knowledge of working with different mentalities, languages and cultures to my practice. Thus, I welcome difference and authenticity, and aim to make you feel safe to discuss anything you might want to in therapy with me. Collaborative therapeutic dialogue is integral to my approach, and I encourage honest in-session feedback to see what best works for you.

I am trained to draw upon various therapeutic approaches, yet I primarily practise within the Psychodynamic tradition, where I stay attuned to the processes underlying the therapeutic relationship; and help you gain insight into feelings, thoughts and behaviours you may not be aware of by exploring your attachment patterns, defence mechanisms, and deeper issues stemming from the past and influencing your present.

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

Within each of us lie fragments of our past where we have unconsciously developed patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving that may now need reflection and understanding in order to support change.

My intention is to work alongside my clients to explore these patterns within a warm, safe and supportive environment. I work with both individuals and couples, supporting personal growth, emotional wellbeing and healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

I have a particular interest in relationships, emotional struggles, self-esteem and helping clients to understand themselves on a deeper level.

I am a member of BACP, UKCP and UKATA.

Hi, I’m Subhaga and I’m a Trainee Counselling Psychologist.

I work primarily within the Person-Centred Approach and aim to offer a warm, supportive, and non-judgemental space where you can feel comfortable to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace. I believe that feeling genuinely heard and understood is central to meaningful change, and I will work collaboratively with you to help you explore whatever is on your mind.

I have past experience as an Assistant Psychologist in the NHS. As a trainee, I work under regular clinical supervision to ensure safe, ethical, and reflective practice. My goal is to help you feel empowered, accepted, and supported as you move towards greater self-understanding and well-being.

Hi, I’m Amy. I’m a trainee psychotherapist specialising in Transactional Analysis (TA).

I grew up across different cultures and come from an arts background, with professional experience in creative, education and mental health support settings.

I offer a warm and open space where you can explore whatever feels important, difficult or unfinished. I am here to support you to find your way forward. I look forward to working with you.

Hello, my name is Shaun and I am a qualified 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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.

My approach is integrative, drawing from different therapeutic models to meet your individual needs, whether you’re navigating bereavement, trauma, addiction, or relationship difficulties.

Hi, I’m Laura and I am a qualified integrative counsellor and member of the BACP.

By drawing from a range of counselling styles, depending on your needs, I meet you where you are and work with you 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 you to work at your own pace.

I am here to listen to whatever you bring and to support you to achieve your goals or to make changes in your life.
