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.
Georgina Fiddian
You may be looking for therapy because you feel stuck, overwhelmed or in need of a
safe place to process what you are going through. I’m Georgie and my approach is
rooted in meeting you as you are, rather than focusing on fixing. I offer a
compassionate, non-judgemental space where you can be completely yourself as we
explore what is going on for you.
While struggle is a part of being human, I believe it is possible to reconnect with your
natural sense of wellbeing. My approach weaves together modern therapeutic
insights with mindfulness-based practices, paying attention to your whole
experience including thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations and relational dynamics.
By slowing down and tuning in to the mind and body, we can gently explore past
experiences, notice recurring patterns and reconnect with your inner wisdom at a
pace that feels right for you. My aim is for you to feel genuinely seen, heard and
accepted in whatever you choose to bring.
I am in the later stages of UKCP-accredited training in Mindfulness-Based Core
Process Psychotherapy at the Karuna Institute, bringing with me over 15 years of
experience in social work and psychological wellbeing. Drawing inspiration from
nature, I bring a grounded presence to my work, providing a respectful, neuro-
affirming environment where all of you is welcome.
Ester Caddy
Hi, I’m Ester and I’m in my last year of my MSc in Therapeutic Counselling, training to become an integrative psychotherapist. This means that I draw from different therapeutic approaches, including psychodynamic, humanistic/person-centred and CBT. I will work with you in a collaborative, warm and approachable way, aiming to find an approach that works best for you and your individual situation in the most flexible and open-minded way. Together we can explore your present difficulties, past experiences, recurring patterns, thoughts, feelings and behaviours, or anything else that you would like to understand, have support with or change. I’m curious about all parts of you, even the ones that might be hard to share. Whatever you bring will be received with non-judgemental interest and a genuine, empathic wish to understand your individual, subjective experience and inner world.
I find it important to approach our work together seriously and ethically, but there can also be room for laughter. Sometimes approaching something lightly, playfully or creatively can help us reach deeper, unconscious material and experiences that are difficult to put into words.
I have experience working with people of different ages, backgrounds and personalities on challenges including anxiety, depression and low mood, anger, grief and loss, low self-esteem, body-image difficulties, experiences of trauma or abuse, relationship difficulties, loneliness and identity or existential struggles.
I am a student member of the BACP and work within its Ethical Framework. I’m originally from the Netherlands and a native Dutch speaker; sessions are available in both English and Dutch.
Megan Binding
Megan is a trainee counsellor working towards her BSc (Hons) in Person-Centred Pluralistic
Counselling and is a registered student member of the BACP. She offers a warm,
non-judgemental space where clients can explore whatever is present for them, at their own
pace.
Megan’s practice is rooted in Carl Rogers’ person-centred approach, built on the belief that
every person holds the capacity for growth and self-understanding (the actualising tendency)
when met with genuine empathy, unconditional positive regard, and congruence. Working
pluralistically, Megan also draws on a range of therapeutic ideas and tools where helpful,
tailoring the work to what each client needs rather than applying a fixed model.
Before training as a counsellor, Megan spent several years working with young people with
complex needs in a school setting, giving her a strong grounding in supporting people through
difficult transitions, communication differences, and emotional distress. This background
continues to inform her practice, particularly her attentiveness to how people express
themselves in ways that go beyond words.
Megan is particularly interested in supporting clients navigating grief and loss, life transitions,
and questions of identity and self-worth. She believes therapy works best as a collaborative
relationship, one where the client is the expert on their own life, and the counsellor’s role is to
walk alongside them with care, honesty, and patience.
Megan is currently building her client hours through supervised placement work as part of her training.

Helen Szpila
Helen provides a warm, empathic and non-judgemental space where clients can explore their feelings and experiences safely. As a trainee Transactional Analysis psychotherapist, she works within a framework that looks at the patterns we learn early on — in how we relate to others, how we talk to ourselves, and the roles we fall into without realising it. Her practice is grounded in a collaborative therapeutic relationship, helping clients notice these patterns as they show up, understand where they came from, and choose something different going forward.
Helen has a particular interest in relationship difficulties, those experiencing grief, anxiety and depression, and works with adults carrying the quieter kind of pain that doesn’t always have a name — just a sense of not feeling like yourself. She believes therapy should be an honest, non-judgemental space, where clients difficult feelings are met with curiosity rather than judgement. As a trained yoga teacher her psychotherapy practice is grounded in the somatic experience of the body and the mind connection.
Helen is a trainee psychotherapist completing an MSc in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy and is a registered member of the UKCP. She works under regular clinical supervision, in line with the UKCP’s ethical framework for good practice.

I believe that each person is the expert of their own life, and I am here to support you on your journey of self-exploration and growth.
A fun fact about me is: “I am everything, but I fit into nothing.” As a first-generation immigrant, leaving part of my identity behind and building a new one as a child came with its own challenges.

Waheeda Rahman
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’re not sure where to begin or what to expect. I aim to offer a calm and supportive space where you can talk openly about what is going on for you and explore things at a pace that feels comfortable.
I work in a collaborative way and see therapy as something we think about together. I am interested in how life pressures, responsibilities, relationships and expectations can affect how we feel about ourselves, and I support clients in making sense of these experiences in a way that feels manageable and meaningful. I try to stay alongside clients as they explore what feels most important to them, rather than assuming there is a single right direction to take.
I am currently completing a Postgraduate Diploma in Integrative Counselling. Integrative counselling means I draw on different therapeutic ideas depending on what feels most helpful for each person. I work in line with the BACP Ethical Framework and attend regular supervision to support safe and reflective practice.
