I am an CBT, EMDR and Schema Therapist with over 16 years of experience. My approach focuses on helping you to understand why particular ways of coping or parts have developed for you by understanding how they relate to your childhood experiences. We can then work together on gaining an understanding of their function and how you can move forwards by exploring what you want to change or let go of. I use EMDR both as a stand-alone treatment for trauma events but also blend EMDR with parts work and CBT to allow processing of the early experiences which have led to the development of these parts and negative self beliefs.

Hi, I’m Sade. I'm a registered Psychologist, accredited Cognitive Analytic Therapist, and EMDR therapist.
I work with adults who feel trapped in repeating emotional or relationship patterns, particularly where the lasting effects of trauma, shame, anxiety, neurodivergence and self-criticism may be playing a role.
My background as a senior clinician in specialist mental health and secure services means I'm comfortable helping people with experiences that feel complex, longstanding, or difficult to make sense of.

I am a psychoanalyst in training and an accredited counsellor.
I offer a safe space in which you can speak and be listened to without judgement or expectation. I encourage you to speak about whatever comes to mind and to follow your thoughts wherever they lead. You may have a diagnosis or have your own words for how you are suffering - that's often the place to start. Often, issues of identity and relationships follow - how you see yourself in relation to those around you now or in the past and possibly how you would like relationships to change in the future.

Hello there - I can help if you're feeling low, lonely and/or are recovering from a mental health crisis. You might not be feeling quite yourself lately; are more irritable than usual, waking up with a heavy feeling, or finding that life feels flat and lacking in joy. When the things you usually rely on to lift your mood no longer seem to help, that's often a sign that something deeper needs attention. Talking through what’s going on in your life, along with the past experiences that have shaped you, helps free you up to make changes now that get you back on track.

My particular areas of interest are addiction, stress/burn-out, trauma, and experiences within high-control or cult environments. I understand that what we see on the surface is often only part of the story. Sometimes behaviours, beliefs or substances become ways of coping with deeper pain.
I offer a person-centred, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can explore your experiences without fear of being judged or told who you should be.
Whether you're struggling with addiction, questioning your identity, recovering from trauma, or simply finding life difficult, we can start wherever you are

Pay-what-you-can counselling for men of all kinds. Whatever being a man has meant to you, cost you, or never quite fit for you – this is a space to talk about it, and money shouldn't be what stops you.
I'm Gregg, an integrative counsellor. Much of my work sits where neurodiversity and early experience meet: men who've spent years with thoughts and feelings they struggle to understand or put into words – often because they learned young that certain feelings weren't safe to have. I also work with anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, anger, relationships, sex, and questions of identity.

Not all difficulties are visible from the outside, nor fully resolved by competence, success, or endurance. Many people who come to my practice are highly capable, carrying responsibility, pressure, and often more than others realise. Others feel privately stuck despite outward stability. Difficulties may relate to trauma, dissociation, compulsive coping, childhood neglect, abuse, military service, or demanding professional or home environments. Having worked in the Square Mile, and been a stay at home Mum, I understand pressured cultures and help clients address what remains unresolved so life can move forward more freely.

What’s the most effective treatment for psychosis?
The most effective treatment for psychosis is coordinated specialty care. In this model, a team of professionals works with a patient to address all aspects of the underlying disorder. This approach incorporates individual or group therapy, employment and education support, family support and education, medication management (which often involves low doses of antipsychotics), and case management to facilitate problem-solving as needed.
When should people seek treatment for psychosis?
People should seek immediate treatment at the earliest indication of psychosis. Symptoms include delusions, hallucinations, disorganized or blocked speech, and agitated body movements. Early signs that a person may be developing a disorder that will lead to psychosis include suspiciousness of others, memory problems and distractibility, an inability to think clearly, rapid or nonsensical speech, withdrawal from friends or family, aggression toward others, and sensitivity to bright lights or noises.
What if psychosis is left untreated?
Without treatment, psychosis can have significant repercussions, including injuries, job loss, homelessness, financial or legal trouble, ruptured relationships, and suffering for the person and their family. While early treatment for psychosis often yields the best results, there is no point past which it becomes useless to seek treatment. At any point, treatment can make a difference.
How do I get someone else to seek treatment for psychosis?
It’s extremely difficult to watch a loved one suffer from hallucinations, delusions, and other elements of psychosis—sometimes exacerbated by their fears of treatment. Have a conversation with them in a quiet space and maintain a calm, supportive tone. Share your concerns about behaviors you’ve observed, suggest treatment, and explain the potential benefits. Listen carefully to their responses. The person may not be ready after one conversation, but with time, they may come around.
