Hannah Parsons

Integrative Therapist

Sometimes it can be helpful to look to the past to understand the blue prints that were laid down in our childhood and how this affects our current way of experiencing the world and our relationships. Defensive strategies learnt in childhood can easily be played out in present situations. Creating your own timeline can help you understand your story. Other elements I like to work with are the drama triangle, developing self compassion and body awareness, as well as the occasional Cognitive Behavioral Therapy technique! I am also trained in Rewind, a technique which helps to file away traumatic memories.

Muby Oztabay

Ex-Boarder Psychotherapist and Adult Children of Narcissistic Parents Specialist

I am a BACP accredited integrative psychotherapist and clinical supervisor with 20 years’ experience. Throughout my career, I have provided over 9000 hours of psychotherapy sessions, working with children, adolescents and adults in higher education, the third Sector/NGOs and tier 3 services across United Kingdom.

I specialise in working with ex-boarders and adult children of narcissistic parents. Having attended a private school myself as a day pupil, I bring both professional expertise and lived experience of private school systems and culture. This helps me understand the long-lasting impact of boarding school dynamics, separation, privilege, loss and institutional adaptation. I also support clients exploring how narcissistic family patterns impact their self-esteem, relationships and identity in adulthood.

My trauma-informed, integrative approach draws on Gestalt, Transactional Analysis, Psychodynamic theory, alongside creative and solution-focused methods. I aim to provide a calm, grounded and compassionate space where you can process difficult experiences, increase self-understanding and work towards meaningful change. Psychoeducation is central to my practice, empowering clients with insight, language and agency.

Chris Foster

Humanistic Counsellor

Hello, and welcome. I’m Chris and I’m a qualified humanistic psychotherapeutic counsellor with specialist training in bereavement, identity and working within the ASD & LGBTQ+ community. (I am an LGBTQ+ affirmative counsellor) Whatever life’s throwing your way, be it anxiety or an overwhelming feeling, I believe in treating the individual, and my approach focuses on exploring concepts such as growth, choice, understanding and meaning making.

Typically, you can expect a gentle beginning as we start to find your therapeutic needs via a person-centred approach which can then be built upon depending on those needs. I also draw from other schools within the humanistic tradition such as Transactional Analysis, Gestalt, and Existential therapies to aid and support you in the here-and-now.

Together, we can help you on a journey to find meaning behind what life is like for you with empathy, non-judgement, and warmth to find your true potential.

Martin Conway

Humanistic and Integrative Counsellor

I am an experienced Humanistic and Integrative Counsellor. I work with a range of clients with a variety of needs but have a great deal of experience in particular working with addiction, stress, anxiety, depression, relationships and long-term illnesses, particularly inflammatory bowel conditions.
I myself was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease 9 years ago and found counselling to have been tremendously important in my recovery. I draw on my lived experience and have gone on to specialise in providing a program of sessions that are specifically designed to address the common issues linked with IBD and I would love to share them with you. I also have a great deal of experience working with addiction and trauma having worked for 2 years at an addiction clinic.
I provide a genuine, empathic and confidential space without judgement. I am a direct and holding therapist and care deeply about getting to the heart of your challenges and helping you to process, understand and grow as a result of this work.

Adriana Dorsett

Individual and Couples Therapist

Regarding my approach, this varies. I trained and continue to work for Relate Relationship Counselling which is based on Psychodynamic and Systemic modalities; exploring the multitude of internal perspectives; and the ways our environment impacts us through culture, gender, class and education etc. I have Level 1 and 2 (IFIO) in Internal Family Systems (IFS), which is a modality that embraces our different contradictions.  I have qualified as a Focusing Practitioner, delving into our Felt Senses; a Writing for Wellbeing facilitator; and a Mediator. I also spent 3 years on helplines and facilitating crisis mental health groups speaking with women and men affected by Self-harm and sexual assault. And this is because I’m committed to working with people in an empathetic and supportive way to promote self-compassion and wellbeing. I work with neurodivergent individuals and couples, I recognise that therapy needs to be approached with care, clarity and flexibility. Neurodivergent clients often have different ways of processing information, communicating needs and experiencing relationships, and I take these differences seriously. I aim to respond thoughtfully and adapt my approach so that the work feels safe, collaborative and respectful of each person’s neurotype.

Vicki Bowker

Psychodynamic Counsellor

Hello, I’m Vicki. I’m a pluralistic psychodynamic counsellor, which means I draw on a range of approaches to tailor our sessions around your individual needs – some days you may want structure, others you may want to just talk. We’ll work together to gently explore and untangle what’s happening, finding ways which empower you to move forward and make the changes you want.
I specialise in period health issues, supporting women who struggle with conditions
such as endometriosis and fibroids. I support them through the drawn-out diagnosis journey and unknowns of their conditions, helping them process and make sense of what they’re living with and the way forward. I also have a strong interest in working with people exploring attachment styles and relationship, dating dynamics, and addiction, particularly gambling, alcohol and substance misuse. I have experience in supporting people through many other challenges such as anxiety, grief and work-related stress.

Milly Orde

Children and Young People Counsellor

I am a Person-Centered Integrative counsellor. It’s such a brave step coming to counselling, and I aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore anything you feel comfortable sharing. I believe that this space is for you and there is no ‘one size fits all’, but everyone is unique and therefore I aim to tailor the therapy towards your needs. I may use different approaches such as Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) or Solution Focused Therapy to support you. Unfortunately, I’m not able to fix, however, in attending therapy I hope to provide some time where you can focus on what you need. I am UK trained, I offer support for young people and adults from the age of 11 onwards, I have no age limit. I have worked with addiction, depression, anxiety, menopause, and low self-worth. Additionally, I have worked in the NHS as a health coach specialising in the psychology of weight loss and habit change. I regularly attend CPD training to ensure my knowledge is kept up to date. I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). I firmly believe that counselling can have such a positive impact on a person’s life, and I feel privileged to be able to support you.

Beatriz Colomer

Integrative Counsellor

Spanish and English Counsellor

Hello and welcome. My name is Beatriz, and I’m a fully qualified Integrative Counsellor. My own journey of self-discovery and healing is what first led me to counselling, showing me how powerful it can be to have a space where you feel truly heard and understood. 

Before qualifying as a counsellor, I spent many years supporting people with mental health difficulties, learning disabilities, and complex needs. I have also worked alongside women who have experienced abuse and trauma, and these experiences have deepened my respect for the resilience people carry, even in the hardest of times. This background has given me a strong foundation in empathy, patience, and the belief that healing becomes possible when we don’t have to face things alone.

My role is not to give you answers, but to walk beside you, helping you make sense of your experiences and discover what feels right for you. 

At the heart of my practice is the belief that every person has the capacity to heal, grow, and reconnect with their true self. I will meet you where you are, offering warmth, understanding, and space to find your way forward.

Francesca Leon

I am a (Level 6) integrative child & adolescent psychotherapeutic counsellor  specifically trained to work with children & young people aged 2-19 years alongside  offering support for parents. I have completed extensive BACP & UKCP training since  2014 at the leading Centre for Child Mental Health, I.A.T.E. in London, where training  follows the latest neuroscientific & neurobiological research & science-based evidence  from in-utero through to young adulthood. My integrative background means I can call  upon a wealth of different theoretical modalities & the latest neuroscience to tailor the  best approach for the individual, with attachment-led evidence at the foundation of my  work. 

I have worked with clients seeking support covering a range of concerns, from family  breakdown to attachment issues, self-harm, dysregulation, neurodivergence & developmental delay, body dysmorphia, depression, grief & loss, addiction, school  refusal & behavioural concerns within the school setting, stress & anxiety during  exams, bullying, isolation, families juggling busy & stressful lives or dealing with  trauma, violence & abuse – so much can happen in a young person’s life & talking with  a trained professional is key to making sense of what is happening, enabling repair,  especially with the abundance of misinformation & misleading diagnostics that can  nowadays be accessed online. 

Over the years I have worked within schools in London & Bristol, using age-relevant  art & play therapeutic techniques to explore feelings & life developments, when direct  conversations are less possible. I see great value in working in a creative way to help  bring subconscious or unmet, difficult feelings to the foreground whilst creating a safe  space in which these feelings can be explored. 

I honour the importance of working with the key adults around the young person,  through parent & teacher consultations & have built up trusting therapeutic  relationships with clients & their parents over the years, with the child/young person  always held at heart. With adolescents I focus on their core interests to bring about  conversations regarding more painful & difficult feelings that may have been bottled  up since early childhood. I can also offer support to new parents during pregnancy or  with their pre-school children to explore a range of day to day worries or concerns.  

I am in regular supervision as required & regulated by the BACP & UKCP code of  ethics.

I believe therapy is fundamental at these uncertain times in our lives. Therapy allows us to dig deep and really look at our lives in a whole different approach and perspective. It allows us to completely put every mask we wear and every role we play in our life down and be just who we are without judgement or advice. I am an Eating Disorder Specialist who works with all types of Eating Disorders. I work with many different things in my practice from Trauma, Addiction, Attachment Styles, Relationship Issues, Self Sabotage, Low Self Esteem, Perfectionism, The Inner Critic, Grief,  The Mother Wound, The Father Wound, Inner Child Healing, or anything thing else you feel you may want to explore within a therapeutic environment.

Claire Bosanquet

Integrative Counsellor & Psychotherapist

Hi, I’m Claire – an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist offering compassionate, collaborative therapy for adults navigating emotional overwhelm, anxiety, burnout, low mood, self-doubt, and relationship difficulties. Therapy with me offers a space to slow down, be heard, and reconnect with yourself, so that life feels less overwhelming and more yours.

My approach is rooted in relational depth and psychological flexibility. I tailor the therapeutic process to each person’s unique experience, blending insight with practical guidance to support meaningful change.

I have a particular interest in working with individuals living with chronic and long-term health conditions. As a therapist specialising in physical health, I offer a safe space to explore the emotional and psychological impact of illness, whether it’s navigating the overwhelm of daily demands, adjusting to limitations, challenging unhelpful beliefs, or processing grief for the life you imagined.

My practice is inclusive, trauma-informed, and grounded in respect for each person’s story. Together, we can begin to untangle what’s been weighing you down, at your pace, in a space where you’re met with compassion.

Katie Green

Humanistic Integrative Counsellor

My name is Katie, I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and a qualified Humanistic and Integrative counsellor. 

We all experience times in life when things can feel overwhelming, you may be feeling anxious, depressed, lost, or struggling with grief. Perhaps you’re caught in patterns that feel difficult to break, or carrying painful experiences from the past that continue to affect your life today. 

I offer a warm, empathic, and non-judgmental space where we can explore your thoughts, feelings, and the challenges within your life at a pace that feels right for you. I believe that meaningful change can happen when we feel safe enough to sit with our experiences honestly, allowing space to develop greater understanding, self-compassion and confidence to move forward.

I have particular experience in bereavement, addiction, and relationship difficulties and currently work as a Sessional Addictions Therapist at Priory.

Doğa Kılınç

Psychodynamic Psychotherapist

Trauma does not only live in memory; it can shape the emotional world we come to recognise as home. What is first learned may later become familiar, and what is familiar may be repeated, even when it wounds.

When reliable connection has not been familiar, closeness and consistency can be deeply longed for, yet feel exposing, unsafe, or unreal when they arrive. A person may reach toward connection while also finding themselves in patterns that keep them distant from the closeness they most need but struggle to feel. This can show itself in social life, intimate relationships, work, and even in the process of beginning therapy.

In my open-ended psychodynamic work, I aim to create a safe and reliable space where emerging relational patterns can be observed and understood as they arise in the therapeutic process. I prioritise boldness, openness, transparency, and genuine presence. Where dreams emerge, I welcome them as meaningful expressions of the unconscious, drawing on my postgraduate research in dream work.
