Ian Skinner
Hi, My name is Ian. Are you wondering what it would feel like to have a weekly space where the focus is entirely on you? I believe that many people could benefit from having a space that is non-judgemental, safe and empathetic, where they are able to share and explore life’s challenges. I provide such a space for my clients, where you will be able to talk without being judged, so that I can support you in exploring and identifying ways forward that are more in line with your needs.
I appreciate that taking the first step to seek support from a counsellor can seem daunting. I felt the same way. However, my own counselling journey has been life changing. Counsellors have supported me in overcoming challenges in a stressful work environment, dealing with a divorce and helping me to reconnect with myself and with others after my divorce. I look forward to supporting you in your journey.
I am a trainee integrative counsellor, which means that I use tools from different counselling approaches to support my clients. I work with Gestalt, which focuses on how you are in the present moment, and transactional analysis that explores the ways in which we relate to others and the personal narratives that shape these relationships.
I am a student member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and work in line with their Ethical Framework.
Oscar Lamont
Oscar offers a warm, non-judgmental space where clients can talk openly about what is happening in their lives and explore difficult thoughts, feelings and patterns at their own pace. He places a lot of importance on being real and present, listening deeply, and building a relationship in which clients feel safe enough to say things they may not feel able to say elsewhere.
He has a particular interest in addiction and recovery, trauma, shame, anxiety, depression, grief, difficult family relationships, loneliness, and major life changes. But he is keen to work with a wide range of clients and issues, and approaches each person as an individual rather than making assumptions about what they need.
Alongside his psychotherapy training, Oscar is a certified coach and has several hundred hours of experience providing structured one-to-one support through coaching and recovery sponsorship, as well as substantial experience facilitating groups. His own experience of therapy and recovery has shaped his interest in how people change, heal and build more meaningful lives.
Before retraining in psychotherapy, Oscar spent more than ten years working across operations, investor relations, law and communications in the UK and abroad. He has lived and worked in Brazil, the US, Mexico and Spain, and speaks fluent English and Portuguese as well as conversational Spanish.
Oscar is currently completing a Master’s program in Psychotherapy at Regent’s University London. His training is integrative and draws on person-centered, psychoanalytic, Gestalt and experiential approaches. He is a student member of the BACP.
Daniel Moore
Emotions are made up of many different colours and flavours, and I seek to see the world as you see it, to be there alongside you as you explore the rich possibilities of experiences, especially the ones that are most difficult to accept in ourselves. I know that, often, day-to-day life doesn’t afford us the time to sit with who we are instead of who we ‘should’ be. I feel privileged to be able to offer people the space to be who they are.
My approach is rooted in person-centered and experiential theory, which means that clients are accepted as whole, complex and multi-faceted people. Our counselling relationship is the place where you can experience yourself fully without fear of judgement, perhaps for the first time. I work with bringing your attention back into the body and connect with your felt senses in a safe and warm environment. I seek to be an active part of the therapeutic relationship by listening to your experiences and letting you feel understood. You’ll also see me bring my genuine self and my personality to the time we share together.
I have lived experience of the struggles that many people face, as an equal person within the world we inhabit. I’ve been involved in many different professional fields, such as financial services, retail and house removals. This has brought me into contact with all sorts of people, from all sorts of backgrounds. I have particular interest in social anxiety, personal identity and different types of relationship configurations, traditional and non-traditional alike. I’m a registered student member of the BACP and am currently working on a level 4 diploma in person-centered and experiential counselling.
Ciaran Ball
I offer a calm, steady and collaborative space where clients can explore what feels difficult, confusing or overwhelming. My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing on cognitivebehavioural, existential, systemic and psychodynamic models. I aim to help clients make sense of, process, and find new ways of living with their experiences. This allows me to work flexibly, meeting clients where they are and helping them make sense of, process, and find new ways of living with their experiences. I am particularly interested in how people relate to their inner world, how patterns form over time, and how therapy can support a more compassionate and sustainable relationship with oneself.
My background includes over a decade in mental-health, safeguarding, and leadership within a leading child protection and safeguarding charity where I developed strong skills in person-centred counselling, risk assessment, and traumainformed practice. I currently work as a CBT therapist in primary care, supporting clients with trauma, anxiety, and depression that exists alongside their physical health conditions. These experiences have shaped my ability to hold complexity with care and to support clients who may feel uncertain, overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward.
I am in my final year of the Doctorate in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy and I am committed to antioppressive and clientcentred work. I am known for a grounded presence, clear boundaries, thoughtful communication and an ability to help clients feel safe enough to explore what matters to them. I hope to contribute to a service where clients feel understood, supported and empowered in their therapeutic journey.

Michael Bacon
I am a neurodivergent practitioner and world traveller who has lived nearly half his life outside the UK. If my experiences have taught me anything, it is that everyone comes from their own unique context and the best results come from meeting each as an individual, with their own unique need, concerns, and ways of encountering the world
I am passionate about the therapeutic space. I think of it as a space of calm, warmth and safety, one where we can explore our feelings without fear of judgement or pressure to conform. When the right conditions are created, the effect can be transformative, helping us connect with ourselves and grow stronger, even in the face of adversity. My goal is to create those conditions for my clients.
To that end, I use a person-centred approach to counselling. This means my approach is focused on listening, understanding and empathising. Person-centred counsellors believe it is essential clients feel they have the counsellor’s unconditional support, with no judgement. We believe that you are the expert in your life. As a counsellor, my role is not to impose my ideas on you, but to facilitate healing and growth by helping you work through your emotions.
I am a member of the BACP and am currently working towards the SEG Awards Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. My twelve year background in education and teaching gives me experience in fostering positive relationships based on respect and personal growth.
