Anna (she/her) is a person-centred counsellor by training and her work continues to be guided by an enduring trust in people’s innate ability to grow and heal. Over the years she has drawn on an increasingly broad range of ideas and methodologies - in particular those emerging from trauma and attachment research - to support her clients in their individual growth and healing journeys. Her strength as a therapist is in building attuned, collaborative relationships with clients that reflect what they need relationally, whether that is a down-to-earth conversation, gentle holding, or a challenging nudge - or a mix of all three as the relationship shifts and evolves.

She welcomes clients' spiritual exploration within her practice. She has a wealth of experience supporting LGBTQ+ people, in particular through gender and transition related questions; and she has worked extensively with non-monogamous clients and couples. She also has considerable experience working with disability and neurodiversity. She has a strong clinical interest in shame and its links to trauma and has found using an internal parts framework to be a really generative way to explore these issues with clients.

Nina (she/her) is an integrative psychotherapist whose practice primarily centres around recovery from complex trauma. She is passionate about helping survivors (re)discover a sense of safety and feeling of wholeness. She has worked with survivors of war, modern slavery, and persecution; but now works predominantly with survivors of early childhood abuse. Her work is informed by a commitment to understanding the varied, complex and counterintuitive ways in which experiences of trauma interact with the astounding human capacity to survive, love, and learn.

She offers a warm, nurturing and honest relational space to work through self-protective and dissociative strategies that have become too costly; and reconnect reparatively with the big embodied feelings of fear, shame, anger, grief and longing that often lie behind them. She is a firm believer in the power of attuned nurture, and loves working with people to develop their own capacity for self-nurture.

She loves designing therapeutic services that meet the needs of migrant communities; and has worked extensively with refugees. She has particular experience working with clients groups, such as LGBTQ+ asylum seekers and migrant women, who navigate multiple dimensions of marginalisation.

Dean (he/him) studied science and philosophy before training as a person-centred counsellor. In his work, he draws on ideas from humanistic therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, and mindfulness; as well as insights from biology and research-oriented psychology.

He has a calm and grounded therapeutic style, paired with a sharply analytical perspective that quickly gets to the core of things. He is famously hard to shock and likes to bring humour and irreverence into his practice. He specialises in working with depression, anxiety, non-monogamy, sexual issues, and relationship complexities (both romantic and otherwise); and in working with clients whose lifestyle is ‘alternative’ in some way.

He is sensitive to the ways in which our diverse backgrounds and life experiences shape our inner world. He has extensive experience working with people practising non-monogamy and kink, LGBTQ+ people, sex workers, neurodivergent people, male clients, and people who use drugs. He has a particular interest in working with psychedelic experiences or otherwise altered states of consciousness.

Effy (she/her) trained initially as a psychodynamic counsellor and later as a psychosexual therapist, working with both couples and individuals. Her practice often focuses on bringing to awareness unexpressed emotions that weigh clients down, tackling avoidance by gently expanding tolerance for feelings, and working through blocks that stand in the way of a more joyful day-to-day existence. Her working style is pragmatic and, as far as possible, transparent. It is characterised by a willingness to be uncertain, adapt, and follow the threads where they lead - in the search for real contact and lasting change.

She has a particular interest in working therapeutically with clients from stigmatised and marginalised groups, especially those who are socially excluded on a number of different fronts. She works primarily with LGBTQ+ people, disabled people, and neurodiverse people. She specialises in relationships, particularly non-monogamous ones; and has considerable experience in working with sexual difficulties and relationship configuration changes. She has a particular interest in working with intergenerational trauma and complex family histories; and in supporting recovery from creative and artistic burnout.

Alex (she/her) is an integrative therapist with a pluralistic approach; she draws from a number of different counselling modalities and tailors how she works to each client and their needs and hopes. Her practice often focuses on unpacking and shifting the way people relate to themselves - particularly tendencies like self-criticism and perfectionism. Her style is active, conversational and educational. She brings a calm and down-to-earth attitude to her work. She is particularly good at exploring emotions with people who struggle to connect with their feelings.

She has extensive experience working with women, neurodiverse people and survivors of interpersonal harm and abuse. She also has considerable experience working with sexual issues and people outside the sexual mainstream - including LGBTQ+ people, people who have multiple relationships, and those who practice kink or do sex work. She is acutely aware of how much time, energy, and money therapy can cost; and is drawn to thinking about how we ensure therapy best meets the needs of the clients who invest in it. She is curious about how (if at all!) “success” in therapy can be measured and what this means for our understanding of therapist competency.
