Hi, my name’s Stephen and I work as an integrative counsellor that uses psychodynamic, cognitive behaviour and humanistic approaches. My aim is to develop insight and confidence to understand aspects of yourself by helping you explore aspects of the past, thoughts and emotions in the present. My philosophy is person centred so sessions are tailored to accommodate what you want and need from counselling.

Hello, I'm Murray. What do you want or need from therapy? Some people know, most people don’t. These are your sessions, so my role is to work with you to understand, to manage or to overcome your psychological concerns in way that is useful way for you. I am trained pluralistically, which means there is no one correct way to do therapy, because everybody is their own person, and different people need different things at different times.

Hello, I'm Eva. I don't aim to ‘solve your problems’. What I offer is the presence of someone who listens and genuinely tries to understand what it's like to be you - without judging. I have received extensive training in various skills and methods to explore with you the issues you want to address and to support you in seeking better understanding and solutions. Together, we will decide how we work and explore what your counselling goals are. I have a warm, friendly demeanour and in my practice, I rely on my own life experience and a long-standing mindfulness meditation practice.
Sessions also available in Polish.

school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
