Saffron Marriner
Counsellor/Therapist, MBACP (Accred)
My name is Saffron. I am an accredited member of the BACP and have been practicing as a counsellor and psychotherapist for twenty years both within an agency setting as well as within my private practice, where I offer face to face, online, telephone and walk and talk appointments. I have worked with clients across the age range of 16 up to and past the retirement age. The service that I offer welcomes people from all backgrounds in a way which is non discriminatory and supportive. Counselling offers an opportunity to process personal challenges and difficulties within an environment that is supportive and confidential. At times this might include discussing painful and uncomfortable thoughts, feelings, emotions. You are not alone with this as many people experience these at different points of their lives. When this is happening it can be hard to remain in a positive and focused frame of mind. Sometimes people feel overwhelmed and feel unable to continue to cope in the way that they usually could with their life on a day to day basis. One of the ways that counselling can help is by providing a space to process personal, behavioural and relationship issues in a safe and confidential way with a qualified professional. My role is to support you with this process in a way that is non judgmental, free from criticism or giving advice as to what I believe is the right thing for you to do. By working together in this way I am there alongside you as you find your own answers in a way that is right for you as we are all individual and unique and what is right for one person may not feel right for someone else. Of course you don't have to tell me everything about yourself and your life if you are not comfortable with this however you may find it beneficial to be as open and honest as you are able to be.

Katy Bray
Counsellor/Therapist, MBACP, Dip Therapeutic Counselling
What makes my practice special is the importance I place on building a genuine, trusting relationship where you feel comfortable to be yourself, without fear of judgement. I bring warmth, empathy, curiosity and a genuine interest in understanding each person as an individual. My previous experience in education, alongside my own personal journey, has shaped my understanding of how our experiences, relationships and early life messages influence who we become and how we navigate the world.
I believe counselling is more than simply talking about difficulties. It's about feeling heard, making sense of your experiences, developing self-awareness and discovering new ways of understanding yourself. I value working collaboratively, at your pace, recognising that you are the expert in your own life.
I hope to offer something meaningful: a space where you feel accepted, understood and supported, with the opportunity to explore, grow and make changes that feel right for you.

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.

Natalie Jane - Narcissistic Abuse & Relationship Recovery Counsellor
Counsellor/Therapist
Are you wondering whether you are overreacting, or why you still miss someone who hurt you? Perhaps a relationship has left you anxious, doubting yourself and no longer sure who you are. I specialise in helping people recover from narcissistic and emotionally abusive relationships, betrayal and the patterns that keep pulling them back, so you can trust yourself again.
I am a trauma-informed integrative counsellor and clinical hypnotherapist, and I also support couples, people living with addiction (including sex and porn addiction), anxiety, grief and low self-esteem.
What makes working with me different is that support does not stop when the session ends: you can arrange short WhatsApp check-ins between sessions. I work online with English speakers in the UK, Spain, Portugal and worldwide. Sessions run seven days a week, 7am to 8pm UK time (8am to 9pm Central European Time), including early mornings, evenings and weekends, with fees from £55 and concession places available.
Book a free 30-minute chat at https://appt.link/meet-with-natalie-jane-ACC3DbLM/web-conference - there is no pressure and no commitment, just a chance to ask questions and see whether we are a good fit.
