Funmi Oni
Counsellor/Therapist, MBACP, MSc, Dip in PPC
I know what it's like to feel stuck. For two decades, I battled with low self-esteem, watching it chip away at opportunities and relationships. I've also experienced the complexities of marriage firsthand. These aren't just credentials on my wall – they're chapters of my story that help me truly understand what you might be going through.
Since qualifying as a person-centered counselor in 2009, I've developed an approach that adapts to each person who walks through my door. As a registered BACP member and Gottman-trained relationship counselor, I bring both my professional expertise and genuine human understanding to our sessions.
People often tell me I have a way of making them feel instantly at ease. Maybe it's because I believe in you even before we meet. I've seen, time and time again, how people find their own answers when they're given the right space and support to explore them. There's no rush here – we'll move at whatever pace feels right for you. Life has a way of throwing curveballs when we least expect them. Sometimes, these changes knock us off our feet, and that's okay.
What matters isn't how many times we fall, but knowing there's someone ready to help us stand back up. That's where I come in. Think of me as a trusted guide who'll walk beside you as you rediscover your inner strength. I will be honored to be part of your journey.

Beth Jackson Counselling and Coaching
Counsellor/Therapist, BA (hons), Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, Diploma in Clinical Supervision
I could tell you that I am warm and personable and could list all the variety of clients that I have worked with as well as my wide experience in schools, education and with families (my own as well as other people’s). More important than that though is for me to understand your story, your situation, your plans and vision for the week, month and year. You are an individual and your situation is also totally unique. For you, choosing and working with the right counsellor is vitally important so please contact me to find out more.
A good and open relationship between a client and counsellor is essential and I tailor my sessions to work to your needs. We can discuss and choose strategies to improve your situation quickly as we work together in a clear and step by step way.

Lisa Sanfilippo
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MSc, UKCP, MBACP, SEP in progress
I believe therapy is a great gift that you give to your body, mind and soul- and that gift can improve all the relationships in your personal, work and family relationships. In essence, we want to move towards more ease and enjoyment. We can get curious about what you learnt growing up and in your life to date that created your world-view, your assumptions and even your body's responses to the situations you face. We will also open up new options for your responses so that you can be more authentically yourself within your world. This doesn't just involve thinking differently but being able to use the felt-sense in your body and nervous system. Often, I experience people coming to therapy with knowledge and self awareness but that thing doesn't seem to shift the problem- because it's deep in the body response system. We can work together with all of it, not just the logical mind but what's beneath that may be quietly running the show!
I work with an integrative palette of approaches and tools, and share them with you in our conversations. We will work with thoughts and feelings as well as the responses of your body. When we start to shift what is available to our felt-sense, our perceptions and actions can shift dramatically. This is one of the things I love about the recent post-graduate training I've undertaken in Somatic Experiencing. I'm at the Advanced level of training in this method and it informs my approach to trauma, to neurodiversity and to relationships. I've also undertaken significant studies in ADHD and autism to help work with neurodivergence. I work with empathy, curiosity, compassion and respect for your intelligence and goals for yourself.

Georgie Gee
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy
My philosophy is rooted in the belief that effective therapy creates a safe space where young people can explore their inner world and understand the root causes of their distress. By helping adolescents make meaning of their experiences empowers them to develop a stronger sense of self enabling them to navigate future challenges with greater awareness and confidence.

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.
