Toulla is an integrative relational therapist using a combination of therapeutic approaches to help her clients. She provides a safe and supportive environment for individuals to explore their difficulties in life, relationships and childhood and to share and resolve confusing and overwhelming feelings.
Toulla believes that, though challenging, therapy can help clients navigate their life struggles and bring unconscious patterns of behaviour and relational difficulties to light, enabling more self-awareness and connection with the world around them and in relationships. She believes that with reflection and expression clients can get to know themselves better, giving them a stronger sense of meaning, purpose, belonging and fulfilment.
Toulla has worked in different psychotherapy environments, working with clients who have suffered acute loss, grief, loneliness, fear, shame, anger, suicidal thoughts and other traumas and emotional difficulties. She has much experience in working with people from a wide range of social and cultural backgrounds.

Nicola is a psychodynamic psychotherapist and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) therapist.
Nicola believes in giving clients time and space to approach therapy in the way they need to approach it. She finds this is the best way to develop a therapeutic relationship that allows feelings to be truly explored and evaluated.
As a psychodynamic psychotherapist, Nicola knows that no two people experience the world or relationships in the same way, and her sessions look at how clients’ current emotions and thoughts are impacted by their early experiences, relationships, and cultural and social backgrounds.
She can integrate EMDR therapy into any work on traumatic memories and experiences.

Marta is a psychologist and an integrative psychotherapist: she has been working in the field of mental health for over 12 years in both private and public sectors. She provides psychotherapeutic support to individuals and families.
Marta provides individual therapy for those who struggle to manage life's challenges, want to improve their relationships, discard thoughts and behaviours that no longer work for them, face a difficult period and want to find purpose in life. She provides her clients with a safe and creative space in which they can explore their thoughts, feelings and behaviour, and together, Mart and her clients can think about a useful way forward.
In her approach, Marta integrates psychodynamic therapy, attachment theory, systemic approach as well as CBT and gestalt techniques. Integrative therapy is a progressive form of psychotherapy that combines different therapeutic tools and approaches to fit the needs of the individual client. By combining elements drawn from different schools of psychological theory and research, integrative psychotherapy becomes a more flexible and inclusive approach to treatment than more traditional, singular forms of psychotherapy.
Marta believes that therapy is a personal journey that should focus on the individual needs and personality; therapy is a non-judgemental process based on trust and partnership from both parties, the client and the therapist. The focus of her approach is to understand the person's emotional sufferance and difficulties in order to promote inner wellbeing and growth. Marta uses a holistic approach where she looks at past and present experiences to gather a sense of each client and find the best way to help them. The main aim of Marta's job is to help individuals who are experiencing emotional and psychological distress and difficulties to understand their problems and make appropriate changes to their lives.

Ava is a qualified psychodynamic psychotherapist and counsellor. She works with the NHS both as an adult psychotherapist at a complex trauma unit, and as a perinatal psychotherapist working with mothers and their infants and toddlers. Before that, she worked as a psychotherapist in secondary care at the NHS, treating clients who experienced early relational/sexual trauma or were diagnosed with PTSD, complex PTSD, or personality disorders.
Ava views therapy as a safe, non-judgmental space in which clients can explore their sense of self, their relationship with others and all the painful aspects of life that might be difficult to put into words. It is important to Ava to co-create a confidential relationship with her clients in a non-directive way, where her clients don’t need to censor themselves and can say whatever comes to mind. Therapy then can become a kind of refuge: anything that is happening in the client’s life can feel safer with someone accompanying them through the process.
Being psychodynamic means that Ava explores with clients the interplay between what they are aware of, and what parts of themselves they are not aware of, how early coping strategies that have helped clients survive in the past might be impacting their current lives and how relationships in the present are often influenced by past relationships. Although trained in the psychodynamic approach to therapy, Ava's practice is informed by many theoretical approaches: attachment theory, developmental neuroscience, somatic experiencing, and humanistic psychology.

Ben works with individuals to make sense of who they are and how they respond to the world today, and to explore new ways of being.

Relationship Psychotherapist
Tatjana uses an integrative approach to support individuals and couples through personal, professional and relationship difficulties, in a collaborative and relaxed environment in which they can safely explore their past and present experiences. Tatjana aims to understand your needs and explore possible solutions by identifying the thinking, behaviour and emotional patterns that may hold you back, while also drawing on your strengths and encouraging your personal growth.
Tatjana has experience working with a wide range of issues, such as mood disorders, loss of meaning and direction in life, self-esteem and communication issues, sex and intimacy, gender identity, career change, fertility, relationships and family dynamics. In her work with couples, Tatjana focuses on how they communicate and what may block the path towards better mutual understanding and deeper intimacy.
Tatjana has a special interest in health and psycho-somatic conditions, including chronic fatigue and insomnia; also, in gender dysphoria and transitioning, life developmental phases, mid-life crisis and aging. Tatjana particularly draws from the Psychosynthesis model, which is effective in addressing difficult life transitions that may result in an identity, existential, spiritual or health crisis, viewing them as a call for personal action and a potential for growth and transformation. To this end, Tatjana is trained to offer guided breathing, visualisation, guided imagery and drawing, as a way of accessing the client’s own capacity to know and heal themselves.
Tatjana has worked in diverse professional settings including university counseling service; at the Metropolitan police - as Independent Domestic Violence Advisor; and in a rehabilitation centre for substance misuse. She is a member of BACP.

He works with a range emotional and behavioural issues including difficulties in communication and being understood; relationship, sex and intimacy issues; career and work-related issues and finding purpose and meaning in life.

Over the years that I’ve worked as a therapist, I’ve been asked numerous times by prospective clients, “How does counselling help?” And I’ve yet to come up with a satisfactory answer. Not because I’m in any doubt that it helps, but because the ‘how’ bit is so hard to articulate concisely…
