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.

Daniel Dennehy Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, BA, Dip Grad, AdvDip, MBACP
Welcome, I am an Integrative counsellor. I work with people struggling with anxiety, depression and bereavement. People also attend because they are feeling stuck, struggling to find meaning or purpose in their lives. They may be struggling with their relationships with food, alcohol, drugs, gambling, sex, shopping... using these methods to manage their emotions, or to distract themselves from situations or feelings that are overwhelming them.
I have worked for over ten years in the field of sexual health in both the NHS and charity sector. I have extensive experience working with LGBT clients at places such as London Friend, The Helios Centre and 56 Dean Street. I offer support for people struggling with compulsive sexual behaviours or what is often referred to as sex addiction. Shame and guilt can prevent us from seeking support. I have a pro-sexual stance. I offer a gender, sexuality and relationship diverse service, focussed on people leading authentic and satisfactory lives.

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 with 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'll learn about how you relate to your world in ways that *work* for you, as well as where these ways of relating are causing pain or limiting you. We will find your best ways to unblock and release those old responses. The goal: to help you to be more at-ease and authentically yourself and in relation to friends, family, work and other important people and situations. I believe every one of us has a soul-nature and way of being that works well for us and it's our job to work with that.
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 not just thoughts and feelings, but how they land in 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 Intermediate level 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.

Dr. Sonia Ovuehor Ovy
Counsellor/Therapist, Doctor of science in Counselling Psychology, Msc Conflict Resolution, Advanced Diploma in Psychotherapy, Counselling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Certificate in Mental Health Studies, Suicide Prevention and Intervention, Diploma in Relationship and Family Counselling, CPD in Neuro Linguistic Programming.
I am a globally certified relationship and marriage coach, licensed Counsellor, seasoned Therapist. My years of hands-on experience cut across relationship therapy, marital counselling, business coaching, career mentorship, grief/trauma/addiction recovery, etc.
I possess grandiose expertise in listening, absorbing and analyzing human problems without prejudice. As an individual who has experienced life from all angles (right from a tender age), I am apparently in a better position to counsel and admonish individuals who battle with depression, anxiety, retrogression/set backs, financial turmoils, addiction, emotional/domestic abuse, rejection, youthful exuberance, juvenile delinquency, child abuse, marital/family crisis, etc.
My professional background makes me capable of being a great confidant and less judgmental. My sense of humor often gives my clients a soothing sigh of relief, irrespective of the burden at hand.
I also provide spiritual counselling services for deeper issues beyond basic comprehension.

Anjali P.
Registered Psychotherapist, MA in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling, Registered Member MBACP- 408062
People are often more complex than the diagnoses, labels, or presenting problems that bring them to therapy. While words like anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or low self-esteem may describe part of your experience, they rarely tell the whole story of who you are, what you have been through, or what your struggles mean to you.
People come to therapy for many different reasons. Some arrive with a clear understanding of what they're struggling with, while others find it harder to put their experience into words. You may be navigating relationship difficulties, a major life transition, questions around identity, overwhelming emotions, or simply a sense that something doesn't feel quite right.
My approach focuses on understanding you as a person rather than as a problem to be solved. Together, we can explore your experiences, emotions, relationships, and patterns with curiosity and compassion, developing a deeper understanding of what may be contributing to your difficulties.
Alongside this exploration, I also believe that insight alone is often not enough. While understanding ourselves can be a powerful starting point, meaningful and lasting change often involves finding new ways of relating to ourselves, navigating emotions, communicating our needs, setting boundaries, and responding differently to the challenges we face. My aim is to support both understanding and change, helping you build a more compassionate relationship with yourself and move towards a life that feels more authentic, connected, and fulfilling.

Lulu AlRashdi
Life Coach
From an ex-police officer to a trauma-informed life coach. My journey has been profound. I learned that the greatest gift we can give ourselves is recognizing who we truly are beneath our conditioning, survival patterns, and past experiences.
Many of the struggles we face today are rooted in childhood experiences, unconscious beliefs, and emotional wounds that continue to shape how we think, feel, and relate to the world. My role is to help you gently explore these patterns, understand their origins, and create awareness without judgment.

Beth Jackson Counselling and Coaching
Counsellor/Therapist, BA (hons), Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling
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.
