Psychotherapist, MA, MBABCP
Hello, I'm Jon. I've been working as a counsellor and and CBT therapist for 14 years both privately and in partnership with the NHS. I find people come to see me when their usual coping strategies are not working anymore, and are finding themselves increasingly anxious or depressed. I often work with people who have work issues, who are either off sick and want to get back to work, or are unhappy in work. Sometimes I find people have a vague sense of something being wrong, and having no clear goals in particular. I charge £60 per hour.

I understand that starting therapy can feel daunting, especially if you’ve ever felt misunderstood or dismissed in traditional settings, or unsure how to express yourself. Many neurodivergent clients find that previous therapy hasn’t fully understood their experience. That’s why I’m dedicated to creating a warm, safe, and accommodating space where you can feel understood and valued exactly as you are. I work with an integrative approach, placing you at the heart of therapy in a safe, judgment-free space. My approach is flexible and fluid, adapting to your unique needs and preferences.

Sam Calladine-Rose
Counsellor, MA, COSRT Reg.
I am passionate about assisting couples and individuals to deepen emotional and physical intimacy, improve communication, and effectively navigate relationship difficulties. I am a Sex Therapist and experienced Relationship Counsellor enabling clients to address both issues together where necessary. My work helps rebuild trust which may have been damaged by years of feeling unheard, or perhaps due to betrayal as a result of an affair. Common feelings of anger, sadness, shame or guilt can often hinder progress, making it difficult to determine next steps without help. Unresolved emotions can explain why recurring conflicts occur.
