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.
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.
Katherine Malugin
Sometimes life changes in ways we never expected.
Whether you are facing grief, anxiety, depression, the emotional impact of illness, relationship difficulties, stress, burnout or another significant life challenge, therapy can offer an opportunity to make sense of your experiences, better understand yourself, and find a way forward that feels right for you.
I offer a space where you can explore what you are experiencing and what matters most to you. My approach is integrative and informed by existential psychology, recognising that emotional difficulties can affect not only how we feel, but also our identity, relationships, choices and sense of direction. Together, we can strengthen resilience, deepen self-understanding, and find a way forward that feels right for you.
I have a particular interest in supporting people through significant life changes and unexpected challenges, helping them strengthen resilience, make sense of difficult experiences and move forward with hope. My clinical experience includes working with Cruse Bereavement Support, Rethink Mental Illness, and the Stroke Association, where I supported stroke survivors and their families.
I am a Doctoral Trainee in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy (DCPsych), a UKCP Student Member, a BACP Student Member, and a Graduate Member of the British Psychological Society (BPS).
Sessions are available in English and Russian.

She understands that every client is different and works collaboratively, adapting her approach to individual needs, circumstances and goals.
Alongside her psychotherapy training, Sabine brings many years of professional experience supporting sensitive conversations with people from a wide range of backgrounds and nationalities.

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.
Maria Vida
Hi, I’m Maria. I am a trainee counsellor working within the Person Centred and Gestalt modalities. I hold CPCAB Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications in Person Centred Counselling and am currently completing my Professional Diploma in Gestalt Counselling. My approach is warm, compassionate and non judgemental, with a strong belief that every person has the capacity for growth when they feel heard, accepted and understood. I aim to create a safe and supportive space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings and experiences at their own pace.
My practice combines the Person Centred values of empathy, congruence and unconditional positive regard with the Gestalt focus on present moment awareness, bodily experience and a holistic understanding of each
person. Together, these approaches help clients notice how their thoughts, emotions and physical sensations are connected, recognise their needs more clearly, and move towards choices that feel authentic and meaningful.
I work with clients facing a range of personal and emotional difficulties, helping them develop coping strategies, build resilience, and draw on their own strengths and inner resources.
Before training as a counsellor, I spent many years working in retail and bespoke jewellery, where behind every piece was a person’s story. I built trust with clients from diverse backgrounds through careful listening and a genuine desire to understand what mattered most to each individual. This showed me the importance of approaching every person with curiosity rather than assumption.
I am a student member of the BACP.

Helen Szpila
Helen provides a warm, empathic and non-judgemental space where clients can explore their feelings and experiences safely.

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.
