Benjamin Marr
Counsellor/Therapist, BA MA Relational Psychotherapist/ Birkbeck College - Psychodynamic Counsellor
Since I started my career in psychotherapy, I have successfully dedicated considerable productive efforts to client issues. In my private practice, I create a safe and supportive therapy environment in which clients interact with me in terms of the point to where they wish to advance. To these circumstances, I bring my experience with the nature of illness, drug therapies, professional ethics and more.

Saffron Marriner
Counsellor/Therapist, MBACP (Accred)
Addiction often develops as a coping mechanism for dealing with unresolved trauma. Substances can provide temporary relief from emotional pain, anxiety and depression. However, reliance on these substances can lead to a dependency and exacerbate a person's challenges. By providing psycho education to my client's about trauma and addiction we can help demystify your experience and this provides a framework for understanding your challenges. Psychoeducation can cover topics like how trauma affects the brain, the cycle of addiction and coping mechanisms. Knowledge empowers my clients to engage actively in your recovery. Mindfulness and grounding exercises can help you stay present and manage any overwhelming emotions, reducing anxiety and enhancing self-awareness. These techniques can help you cope with triggers and stressors. I encourage you to build a support network as this can provide emotional backing and practical assistance, reinforcing the therapeutic process. Working with addiction in a trauma informed way is a compassionate and effective approach that addresses the root cause of your addiction.

Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP
I have over 25 years’ experience of living within 12-step recovery, including recovery from addiction to drugs, alcohol, and sex and love. This lived experience informs my clinical work, particularly with clients who are new to recovery, returning to it, or seeking additional therapeutic depth alongside an established recovery programme.
I understand the complexities of recovery beyond abstinence, including identity, relationships, shame, and long-standing patterns of self-protection. I bring this understanding together with my professional training in Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering a thoughtful and grounded therapeutic approach that respects both structure and complexity.
