I’m also a musician and specialise in working with people in music and creative industries. I understand the unique pressures that come with those worlds, because I've experienced them myself - so you won't have to explain or justify that side of your life. Many of my clients find they develop a deeper, more grounded sense of who they are. With greater self-awareness often comes growing confidence.

I am an Accredited Psychotherapist with significant specialist experience working with LGBTQ+ clients around issues of self, sex and relationships, gender identity, family, trauma, physical and mental health, substance use, neurodiversity, education/employment, sociality and loneliness, and multimorbidity.

I work with a range of experiences including anxiety, depression, low self-worth, grief and loss, trauma, identity questions, family and relationship difficulties.
Starting therapy can feel like a big and sometimes overwhelming step. I offer a gentle, compassionate space where you can bring whatever you’re carrying—without fear of judgment. You’re welcome just as you are. I believe that healing and change unfold through the relationships we build—with ourselves, with others, and in the space between. My approach is rooted in deep curiosity, respect, and care for each person’s unique story.

Family dysfunction, estrangement and intergenerational trauma are other areas I work in.
Welcome, my name is Jo. If you're needing a objective space in your life, where your wellbeing is the focus, you may consider working with me. You can start at the beginning, middle or end, there is no set way and there's no pressure either. Life, relationships, the past, present or the future can bring many forms of anxiety, worry, stress and impacts. This can show up and manifest in a multitude of ways; maybe leaving you feeling out of sorts. If we are a good fit, you'll feel a genuineness and acceptance that will be the foundation for your sessions.

Having a background in mental health charities, I have worked within the diverse group of people with wide ranging issues some of which include anxiety, depression, family problems, attachment, trauma, abuse, anger, struggles with sexuality/identity, carrying an immigrant identity, bereavement&grief
You might be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Perhaps you’re carrying wounds from past trauma—whether from childhood or adult experiences—or struggling to find security in your relationships. You may feel disconnected from your sense of self, unsure of how to express your needs or navigate life’s challenges. Maybe you’ve tried therapy before and didn’t quite find what you were looking for. Still, something within you is seeking healing, clarity, and connection. You want to feel more confident, more grounded, and more in tune with who you truly are.

I have 30 years experience of working with relationship issues - first as a family lawyer, then as a family mediator.
You might be thinking of having therapy. But what is it? Can it help me? If you are going through a challenging time, or perhaps reached a transitional phase in your life, undergoing a change in your relationship or looking to make a change in your life, perhaps long forgotten things are making an appearance and you'd like to understand why, or simply looking for growth and change, looking for a roadmap to your life - then therapy can help.

I love to spend time with my family and friends, particularly my two little nephews(!), watch comedy and travel.
Hi, I’m Ilan! I’m a Clinical Psychologist and Director of The Oak Tree Practice. I want to tell you a bit more about myself, as I realise selecting a psychologist can be a tough task! I feel very privileged to be able to say I love what I do and always have, ever since I started volunteering for ChildLine in 2007. Following this, I’ve had experience working with a wide variety of clients including children, young people, adults, older adults, military personnel, individuals with learning disabilities, neurodevelopmental disorders and neurological conditions. I have also furthered my studies through the completion of undergraduate, masters and doctoral degrees. All this aside, one of the most important parts of my work is building relationships with those sitting opposite me. I have always believed that you can have all the training and knowledge in the world, but if the client doesn’t return, none of this can be put into action. Therefore, my first aim is always to provide a warm, compassionate and non-judgmental space where we can work on the clients’ difficulties together.
