MBACP, Integrative Counsellor
From £70 per session
I work with adults and young people aged 16 and over, who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, grief, low self-esteem or the impact of past experiences - especially those navigating life transitions, early bereavement, or the experience of growing up with emotionally unavailable parents. As an integrative counsellor, I offer a safe and supportive space where you can speak freely, untangle complex emotions, and begin to see a future with more hope, clarity, and self-trust.
Finding a really good therapist that feels right for you is essential. Taking the first step can feel daunting, but I’m here to make it easier. Contact me for a free, no obligation chat to se if we are a good fit.
I am informed by my professional learning as integrative counsellor, as well as my values and lived experience of bereavement, loss, migration, and single parenting. I especially enjoy working with young people and clients seeking support through life's transitions, and I have a significant experience working with neurodivergence, early bereavement, identity, anxiety and depression.
In addition to an open, trauma-informed approach, I blend psychoeducation, mindfulness, and creative exercises to empower you in your healing. This also helps you understand your body's responses to stress, fostering resilience and independence. Together, we'll strike a balance between nurture and challenge, creating a safe, supportive space for your growth.

Child & Adolescent Therapist

Ellen Hage
Child & Adolescent Therapist
From £95 per session
I have worked therapeutically with teenagers and their families for more than 16 years in a diverse range of settings including the NHS, state schools and the private education sector. Working with young people as they go through the more painful chapters of their adolescence has always been, and continues to be, a privilege and an honour that I take great care and sensitivity in.
My philosophy on delivering supportive counselling is based on active listening, the importance of asking curious questions, speaking with tactful honesty and a willingness for both therapist and teen to be open to exploring the unknown and the unsaid. My therapy framework is informed by psychodynamic, person centered and systemic models and is influenced by attachment and inter-cultural work. In my practice, counselling is a collaborative experience whereby myself and the young person explore and think together about their current struggles. I actively listen, seek to deeply understand and validate experiences, provide observations and create opportunities for reflection. This process allows the individual to gain insight into themselves and others, identify helpful and unhelpful coping strategies and foster personal growth.
I have experience in many common yet difficult struggles that can occur during adolescence, including but not limited to: anxiety, bereavement, relational difficulties (with self or others), identity exploration, low moods and third culture kid difficulties.

Iris Varela
Mental Health Therapist
From £100 per session
Iris Varela
Mental Health Therapist
From £100 per session
I’m Iris Varela, a clinical specialist trained in both the United States and the UK, with a master’s degree in social work. I am registered with Social Work England and am a trained CBT therapist (through King’s College) and supervisor (through University College London). I teach professionals at the Anna Freud National Centre for Children & Families at UCL, focusing on the intersection of neurodivergence and mental health, deliver autism assessments and I am a clinical supervisor at CAMHS. Additionally, I deliver supervision and teach school staff about the neurodivergent experience.
For over 20 years, I have been passionate about working alongside neurodivergent individuals. As the evidence in our field has evolved, I have shifted away from the medical model and embraced the social model of disability. This means validating the experiences of neurodivergent people and working systemically to change the stigma surrounding neurodivergence, as well as advocating for the adaptations needed to achieve equal access to education, work and services. I am excited to prioritise and listen to the voices of neurodivergent people, allowing them to guide my practice and create a safer space for them. To make sure I deliver the best support, I receive supervision from an experienced, published, autistic professional, as well as attending reflective spaces delivered by the autistic community.
I’m committed to providing supportive care, understanding your unique individual needs, and helping others understand how to best support you.

Wren Lou
Integrative Psychotherapist
From £80 per session
Hi, I'm Wren. I understand that therapy can feel daunting to start, especially when you’re not sure where to begin or what you “should” be talking about. That’s okay. As an integrative psychotherapist, I draw on different approaches and shape them around you, rather than asking you to fit a method. Together we can explore what feels most pressing and make room for this, whether that’s something big and tangled or something you can’t quite name yet. Many of the people I see have been affected by anxiety, trauma, family expectations, cultural pressure, or painful experiences from earlier in life. We can delve into how these experiences have shaped the way you see yourself, relate to others and navigate the world, and whether the patterns you've developed still feel right for you.
My approach is gentle and collaborative and I am influenced by relational and humanistic approaches, which focus on our relationship as well as those you have outside of therapy. I believe that trust and honesty is the foundation of a strong therapeutic relationship. I am grounded in psychodynamic approaches as I understand that our past experiences and relationships can often shape and impact who we are as adults.
I welcome clients of all backgrounds, including neurodivergent people, such as those with ADHD or autism, and trans, non-binary, queer and polyamorous clients. I recognise that our identities, backgrounds, relationships and experiences don't exist in isolation; they can shape and influence one another in complex ways. I want to understand what these experiences mean for you, on your own terms, rather than make assumptions about who you are or what you need.

Sophie Yates
MBACP Integrative Therapist
From £75 per session
An integrative therapist and authentic relating facilitator, I offer a reflective space for you to meet yourself, in a way that's uncommon in day-to-day life and has the potential to open up more choice and aliveness in how you experience the world.
Together, we turn towards what is happening for you—whether that is a particular event or relationship on your mind or heart, a tiredness, emptiness or disconnection, a stuckness or questioning where you’re going in life, or something else—with the intention of welcoming and being with it all. From there, we can explore and experiment with different ways of being that work for you, on your terms.
No matter how large or small your issue may feel, this is a non-judgemental space and all parts of you are welcome.
My practice is grounded in relational, humanistic, psychodynamic, and body-based modalities.

Laura Smart MBACP MNCPS.Accred
From £125 per session
I’m Laura Smart, a qualified Trauma-Informed Practitioner and experienced therapist offering evidence-based support through counselling and therapy.
My therapeutic approach is integrative, meaning I tailor therapy to your unique needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. I draw on a range of evidence-based therapeutic models, including Gestalt therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, inner child therapy and Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy, alongside other approaches and methods where appropriate. By tailoring therapy and my therapeutic and psychoeducational programmes to you, we can work in a way that best supports your goals and experiences in a safe, non-judgmental space for healing and personal growth.
I work transparently and do not believe that counselling is about ‘fixing’ something; rather, it is a collaborative process to explore and find a way forward in life. The therapeutic relationship has transformative power.
I am trained in and influenced by several approaches to therapy such as Gestalt (working with the whole- body, mind and spirit), CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy), REBT (Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy), Inner Child Therapy, Release Therapy, Mindfulness and Hypnotherapy. I am familiar with and use the 12 Steps and SMART Recovery models where appropriate when working with addictions.
The areas I work with include:
addictions (substance abuse and alcoholism, food, behaviour, internet, social media, gambling, shopping, relationships, sex, porn, hoarding, work).
aftercare sessions for groups, individuals, couples and families leaving rehab and treatment.
stress, anxiety and general mental health and well-being
anger management
trauma and abuse (sexual, emotional, psychological, physical, spiritual/religious)
couples counselling, codependency, trauma bonding, and relationship difficulties
inner child therapy
emotional energy release
I work with a diverse range of clients, long and short-term, to explore and identify unresolved childhood experiences now resulting in unhealthy behaviours and patterns that are painful, destructive and impacting the present.
In a non-judgmental approach, I will work with you to explore what is troubling you and how you can work through the things you may be experiencing as challenging. My approach is caring and effective and I enjoy helping you get your desired results. I will support you in reaching your goal in the shortest time possible to produce long-lasting change that gets to the root of the issues you’re experiencing. Together we will explore how your thinking, attitudes, beliefs, opinions and behaviours were formed, how they affect your emotions, actions, lives and happiness and how changing them can help you feel better and achieve more.
