Sara Ingarfield
Hello, my name is Sara. I’m a counsellor who believes that therapy should be as unique as the person sitting in front of me. That’s why I take an integrative approach, combining both person-centred and psychodynamic methods to support you in the way that feels most meaningful.
In our sessions, I create a warm, non-judgmental space where you can truly be yourself. With a person-centred approach, the focus is entirely on you—your feelings, experiences, and goals. Together, we’ll explore what’s happening in your life, empowering you to find clarity and confidence at your own pace.
At the same time, the psychodynamic side of my work invites us to gently uncover how past experiences or patterns might be shaping your present. By understanding these deeper influences, we can create lasting change and help you move forward in a way that feels authentic and freeing.
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply in need of a space to process, I’m here to walk alongside you. If this sounds like the kind of support you’re looking for, I’d love to connect and help you take that next step.
Gemma Turner
I am a Pluralistic Psychotherapist in training, registered with the NCPS. My approach is relational, placing a trusted, non-judgemental therapeutic relationship at the heart of my work. I draw from psychodynamic, humanistic, and CBT approaches, and we work collaboratively to shape a counselling process that is tailored to you—exploring both the “how” and the “why” of your experiences.
Alongside my psychotherapy training, I hold a BA in Education and I am a qualified hypnotherapist and creative therapeutic practitioner, which I integrate where helpful.
I bring over 25 years’ experience in senior leadership and client-facing roles across education, health, and the charity sector, including work in women’s centres and trauma-informed services. I have extensive experience supporting adults and children with disabilities, as well as their families, with a focus on individual needs and lived experience.
I work with clients navigating trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, relationship and communication difficulties, and significant life transitions—including parenthood, fertility, leaving home, and university. I also support birth trauma, attachment difficulties, and the emotional complexities of family life.
I understand that feelings such as anxiety, sadness, anger, loneliness, or shame can feel overwhelming. I offer a warm, down-to-earth, and non-judgemental space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace, develop self-understanding, and find a way forward that feels meaningful and manageable.
I support:
• Anxiety and stress
• Attachment issues
• Depression, grief, and loss
• Trauma (past and present)
• Emotional regulation and anger
• Relationship difficulties
• Chronic and acute health conditions
• Life transitions (including parenthood, menopause, ageing, and mortality)
• Birth trauma
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.

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.
Catherine McDonald
Sometimes we need a space where we don’t have to hold everything together, when life doesn’t go the way we hoped it would.
You may find yourself feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure of what to do next. You may be struggling with relationships, coping with a loss, facing a difficult life change, or carrying worries that feel hard to share with others. Whatever has brought you here, you don’t have to face it alone.
Hello, I’m Catherine, a counsellor in training. I offer a warm, supportive and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about what’s going on for you. Together, we can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences at a pace that feels right for you, helping you make sense of what is happening and what you need.
My approach is integrative, which means I draw on different counselling theories to support each person as an individual. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy, and I will work alongside you to find what feels most helpful.
Before training as a counsellor, I spent many years working in professional environments and understand the pressures that can come from balancing work, relationships, responsibilities and expectations. This awareness has helped shape my work as a counsellor, enabling me to support you in making sense of your experiences.
I am currently completing a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and am a student member of the BACP, working within its Ethical Framework and supported by regular supervision.
Jass Hylton
I m Jass and I am here to listen. I am a BACP registered member and integrative counsellor in training with over 20 years’ experience working in social housing, supporting people through life’s challenges. I have worked alongside people experiencing poverty, homelessness, domestic abuse, addiction, discrimination, and mental and physical health difficulties. These experiences have shaped my values and approach to counselling. Everyone deserves dignity, compassion, and respect.
I am passionate about creating a space where you can be yourself and feel accepted for who you are. I believe a trusting therapeutic relationship is at the heart of counselling. By working together, at your pace, we can build a relationship where you feel safe enough to explore what is important to you.
My approach is integrative, grounded in person centred values. Therapy is collaborative and client led. I will work alongside you in a warm, confidential, and non-judgemental space, taking time to understand your world from your perspective.
As a woman with ADHD who has experienced the benefits of therapy, I understand that life can sometimes feel overwhelming. I believe therapy can help you make sense of your experiences and support the changes you want to make.
I welcome people of all backgrounds, cultures, faiths, sexual orientations, and gender identities. I work in an inclusive, culturally aware and LGBTQ+ affirming way. I have a particular interest in cultural competence, intersectionality, generational trauma, religious trauma, fertility and reproductive trauma, and neuro affirming practice, all of which help to shape the way I work. I recognise the impact of oppression, discrimination and lived experience on emotional wellbeing, and my aim is to create a space where you feel safe to be yourself.

Sally Megee
I am a warm, empathic Humanistic Counsellor who believes that being genuinely heard and accepted can create the conditions for meaningful growth and change. I aim to offer a safe, non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace.
My background is in music, the arts, and education, which has given me a creative and flexible approach to working with people. Through my work supporting children, young people, and families, particularly those with special educational needs and those living in underprivileged communities, I have developed a strong commitment to equality, inclusion, and social justice. These experiences have deepened my appreciation of the unique challenges people face and the importance of feeling understood and valued.
I have a particular interest in autism and ADHD and am passionate about creating an affirming space where difference is recognised and respected. My approach is influenced by phenomenology, which encourages us to pay attention to our lived experience, including the messages and emotions held within the body. I am also drawn to existential ideas, supporting exploration of identity, meaning, relationships, and what it means to live authentically.
I am currently completing my counselling training and am a student member of the BACP.
