Ruth Mark-Roland Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Post Grad Diploma in Psychotherapy, Foundation and Diploma in Group Analysis
**Ruth Mark-Roland | Psychotherapist (London & Online)**
**Specialising in LGBTQ+ identity, trauma, relationships, and chemsex support**
Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected—from others or from yourself? You might be questioning your identity, navigating sexuality, or struggling with patterns in relationships that feel hard to change. For some, this can also include challenges around sex, intimacy, or chemsex.
I’m Ruth, a registered psychotherapist offering a warm, non-judgmental space where you can explore what’s really going on beneath the surface. I work particularly with gay men and others within the LGBTQ+ community, including those navigating identity, relationship difficulties, loneliness, and complex experiences around intimacy, connection, and substance use.
My approach is relational and collaborative. We work at your pace to understand recurring feelings and behaviours, process difficult experiences, and build a stronger, more grounded sense of self. Therapy with me isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about meaningful, lasting change.
I can support you with:
• LGBTQ+ identity and sexuality
• Relationship difficulties and intimacy challenges
• Chemsex and sexual health concerns
• Trauma and childhood experiences
• Anxiety, depression, and low self-worth
• Loneliness, disconnection, and belonging
• Creative blocks and life transitions
Alongside my clinical training, I bring a background in the design industry and a strong commitment to inclusivity, creativity, and cultural awareness.
**Sessions:**
• In-person in Central London (W1)
• Online across the UK
I offer a free 15-minute consultation so you can get a sense of whether we’re a good fit.
You don’t have to work this out alone—feel free to get in touch.

Psykhe Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP
Video counselling offers a secure and convenient alternative to in-person sessions. It allows you to connect with your therapist face-to-face through a private video platform, from the comfort of your own space.
This option can be especially helpful if you have a busy schedule, live outside our local area, or prefer the flexibility of meeting without the need to travel. It also provides continuity of care when in-person sessions wouldn't be an option. Many clients find video sessions just as effective and meaningful as in-person therapy.

Daniel Dennehy Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, BA, Dip Grad, AdvDip, MBACP
Hi I'm Daniel. I offer online and telephone counselling throughout the UK and Europe. People accessing my services are often presenting with issues of anxiety, depression and grief. They may be experiencing feelings of overwhelm or "stuckness". They are not happy, but don't know what to do. They try hard to make things different, but find themselves in the same place, the same type of relationships. Perhaps they are eating or drinking to feel better. Perhaps they spend a lot of time shopping or browsing online. Turning to the same things all the time to feel better, but not changing their life. This can be frustrating and frightening. Online therapy offers the support and tools to start making changes from a secure and convenient place at home or from a location that suits your work and family commitments.

Benjamin Marr
Counsellor/Therapist, BA MA Relational Psychotherapist/ Birkbeck College - Psychodynamic Counsellor
My clients consider these facets of my relational psychotherapy to be important and effective resources for the support they are seeking and have fed back to me high levels of satisfaction with this branch of my practice. Naturally, online psychotherapy is not appropriate for everyone, but it has shown effectiveness in a number of important situations. For example, issues involving recovery from various addictions have benefited from online therapy, especially in cases where the client might wish to overcome any attitude to regularly attending traditional face-to-face and one-on-one supportive psychotherapy sessions.
Obviously, the convenience element is a major factor for clients and I have endeavoured to put into place as robust an I.T. structure as appropriate for the privacy and security of all clients.
I am a Registrant on the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy's (BACP) Register of Counsellors and Psychotherapists, under Registration number 383789 and an Individual Member of the BACP, under number 00525107.

Saffron Marriner
Counsellor/Therapist, MBACP (Accred)
Some of the benefits of seeing a therapist online are that this will give you the opportunity to access support in a location and at a time that is convenient to you and you may be able to access therapy more quickly this way. As counsellors are trained to observe your body language, voice tone and other non verbal cues, including eye contact there may be the need for me to clarify certain points with you if we are working remotely ( particularly if this is over the telephone) We would use either zoom or whatsapp for our video calls. I will send you the hyperlink to download onto your device. There will also be a password to allow you access to a secure, encrypted online meeting room. You are responsible for maintaining confidentiality while we are working together including ensuring that the hardware for your device, internet access points, email address and passwords are secure. I will call you at the time that we have agreed and encourage you to ensure that the space that you are in is a place where you feel safe, comfortable and your privacy is maintained. Some things for you to ask yourself prior to working with a therapist remotely might be how comfortable are you with using internet technology? Is there a device you can use in private with no interruptions? It is also worth considering whether the situation that you are seeking counselling for may be easier for you to discuss face to face?
