Jill Deacon
Counsellor/Therapist, BSc and FdSc Person Centred Counselling. MBACP
People come to therapy for a number of reasons; you may be experiencing trauma or bereavement, the effects of historical issues, or knock on effects of the pandemic. A lot of people come to therapy because life just feels unmanageable and are struggling with day to day living. You may not know why life currently feels so difficult.
Talking with a trained and experienced counsellor can help you accept and move through your issues, give you the tools and understanding to cope better with life's challenges and discover a freedom to live with and beyond the things that are holding you back.
Speaking with someone for the first time about personal issues or trauma can feel really daunting. It is important to feel safe and not judged when talking about difficult things, and my aim is for us to develop a relationship where you can explore whatever it is that you need to.

Dr Paul Garden
Psychologist, Doctorate in Psychology, DPsych, MSc with Distinction, BSc First Class Honours.
I am a registered Health Care Professions Council (HCPC) Practitioner Psychologist, and am on the British Psychological Society Register of Applied Psychology Practice Supervisors (RAPPS). I have been in Private Practice in Central London for nine years.
Before spending ten years in full-time study and training in London universities and NHS Trusts to qualify as a psychologist, I spent a decade travelling, mainly around Asia, studying Eastern psychology and philosophy. Thus, I have a rich lens of psychological perspectives through which I understand and work with the mind.
Psychoanalytic thinking underpins my approach to therapy, which is always tailored to suit the unique needs of each person. The therapeutic work then adapts as those needs change over time.
You will find my approach to be naturally compassionate, and non-judgemental.

Lisa Sanfilippo
Therapist, MA, MSc, UKCP, MBACP
Even if you start therapy to help you out of a dark or difficult time, it is a great gift that you give to yourself. We learn a great deal about ourselves, about others and ultimately about living life with more ease and enjoyment. We will sit together and get curious about what you learnt growing up and in your life to date that created your world-view, your assumptions and even your bodily responses to the situations you face today. We'll find the ways you manage your world that work for you, and where they are causing pain or limiting you. We will find your best ways to unblock and release those old patterns, and learn about the new ways of seeing and being that work for you.
Together we come to understand your personality, your responses and even what you might call your soul-nature. I work with an integrative palette of approaches and tools, and share them with you in our conversations. A good deal of our work will involve working with how the thoughts and emotions land in our physical selves and our nervous systems.

Hello, I'm so pleased you were drawn to my profile. I provide both in-person and online therapy. I create a calm, healing space for clients to feel secure and trust in our therapeutic relationship so that they can explore their inner world. I am very experienced in helping clients transform and evolve through their difficult feelings to feeling confident and creative in however they choose to express themselves in the world.
I work very intuitively and align myself to each client's unique way of functioning. Through experienced means of deep listening and communication, I offer alternative ways of viewing the world, and help you to increase your awareness of yourself through cognitive and emotional exploration. I also help you to begin to notice the way you speak to yourself, facilitate atunement with your body, and apply other interventions that heighten your awareness and help you heal.
