Emma Poxon
Counsellor/Therapist, MA Person-Centred Experiential Counselling
You are not a problem to be fixed, my aim as your therapist is to provide the right conditions to allow you to explore whatever you want to bring to therapy to support your growth. This isn't a therapeutic approach wherein I will set a treatment plan or tell you what to do. We will work together as a partnership rather than me taking away your autonomy. I absolutely love the work I do, it is the biggest privilege being let into people’s personal worlds and seeing the immense growth of my clients. I would love to hear from you!

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.

Dr. Antonio D'Costa
Registered Psychotherapist, M.B.B.S, M.D. (Paediatrics)
I specialize in pediatric medicine and trauma-focused therapy using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). My work centers on supporting children, adolescents, and adults through grief, anxiety, behavioral challenges, and the lingering effects of difficult experiences.
As a pediatrician, I've seen how unprocessed trauma shows up in young lives- through sleep troubles, feeding issues, social withdrawal, and emotional struggles. EMDR offers a gentle, research-backed path to healing that goes beyond words.
With EMDRIA-approved training and my pediatric experience, I help families navigate some of their most challenging moments. Whether it's a child struggling with grief, an adolescent facing anxiety, or an adult working through long-held wounds, my approach blends medical expertise with compassionate, evidence-based care.
I'm passionate about making mental health support accessible- offering teletherapy across India and internationally, with subsidized sessions available for those who need them.
Let's connect if you're looking for trauma-informed support, professional collaboration, or referrals for children and families in need.

Leicester is one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the United Kingdom, with a majority non-white population and large South Asian, East African Asian, and Caribbean communities that generate significant demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists. The city has a strong Hindu and Muslim religious community, and therapists who can navigate the intersection of faith, family expectations, and mental health — particularly around intergenerational conflict and identity — are especially valued. Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust provides public mental health services, with a private therapy community serving the university corridor and leafy residential suburbs. The University of Leicester and De Montfort University provide clinical training programs that feed into the local therapy ecosystem.
