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.

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.

Aravinda Nandakumar
Counsellor/Therapist, EMDR, EFT, SCHEMA Therapy, M.Sc. (Counselling & Family Therapy)
Are you struggling with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, difficult relationship patterns, or experiences from the past that continue to affect you today? You may find yourself repeating the same patterns, feeling disconnected in your relationships, struggling with self-worth, or finding it difficult to manage emotions despite trying to move forward.
I work with adults, couples and families experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, attachment concerns, self-esteem difficulties and long-standing emotional patterns.
My approach is warm, collaborative and personalised. I integrate Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Schema Therapy and EMDR, along with other evidence-based approaches, depending on your individual needs. I aim to understand not only what you are experiencing now, but also the deeper emotional and relational patterns that may be contributing to your difficulties.
For couples, I use an attachment-focused EFT lens to help partners understand their cycles of conflict, emotional disconnection and unmet needs, and work towards greater safety and connection.
I offer online therapy to clients across India and, where permitted by applicable local requirements, to clients in the UAE and UK. If you’re considering therapy and would like to explore whether we might be a good fit, you’re welcome to get in touch.
