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.
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 Griffin
Hi, I’m Kate.
Pleased to meet you.
Life isn’t one size fits all. I’m of the belief that counselling should be a collaborative process that supports you through more difficult stages of life and helps you develop your own clearer outlook and coping skills for the future.
I like to bring warmth, humour and curiosity with me wherever I go. I’m LGBTQIA+ and neurodiverse friendly, not to anyone’s exclusion.
I’m a trainee counsellor learning an integrative approach at level 4, and a student member of the BACP. That is to say, I aim to support our conversations with different areas of psychological theory best suited to your needs.
My studies so far have shown me a Person-Centred approach and various Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques. This means you decide both the topic of conversation and the pace, with gentle nudging from me. As and when appropriate, CBT techniques can be additional tools to help you get to where you want to go.
My background is in massage therapy, and I have long been lending an ear to my clients before taking up formal counselling training.
In my spare time I’m gradually reading up on how we hold physical and mental stress in our bodies. This is with a view to understand why we hold on to things that no longer serve us, be it an old injury or a way of thinking that is holding us back.
I look forward to working with you.
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.
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.
Lucy Elston
What would it mean to feel truly at home in your own life – to move through the world with a clearer sense of who you are and what you value?
Perhaps you’ve been feeling disconnected – from others, from yourself, or from a sense of direction. Perhaps something feels unresolved, but it’s hard to put into words. These are the kinds of questions therapy can help you sit with and explore.
My name is Lucy, and I’m currently completing my doctoral training in Counselling Psychology. I’m registered with the British Psychological Society (BPS) and the Universities Psychotherapy and Counselling Association (UPCA). My approach is integrative, drawing on a range of therapeutic frameworks, with an existential focus. What that means in practice is that our sessions will feel like genuine dialogue – open, active, and collaborative. I’m not here to hand you a formula; I’m here to work alongside you, helping you reconnect with the inner resources you already have.
At the centre of our work is a simple but important question: how do you make sense of the world? I’m less interested in fitting your experience into a category, and more interested in understanding your unique story – the values, the tensions, the things that feel unanswered. My hope is that through our work together, you’ll develop a stronger sense of what truly matters to you, and feel more confident in how you choose to live.
If this feels like the kind of space you’ve been looking for, I’d love to hear from you.
Samuel Lewis
Samuel is a trainee psychotherapist completing an MA in Counselling and Psychotherapy at Regent’s University London, a UKCP-accredited programme. He also holds an MSc in Psychology from Birkbeck University of London.
Samuel works integratively, drawing on psychodynamic, humanistic and relational approaches. This means he tailors how he works to each individual rather than applying a fixed method. He believes the quality of the relationship between therapist and client is central to what makes therapy useful, and he brings genuine curiosity and presence to every session.
He has a particular interest in working with clients experiencing trauma, addiction, anxiety and depression, and questions of identity and belonging, including LGBT+ clients.
Alongside his academic training Samuel has extensive experience in both clinical and residential mental health support, and has completed specialist training in crisis support and intervention through his work with a leading community helpline.
Samuel is a registered student member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and offers a warm, non-judgemental space where clients can explore whatever they are carrying at their own pace.
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.

Jools Scott
Hello, I’m Jools, I am a trainee counsellor registered with the NCPS.
I believe that every person is unique. My way of working is pluralistic, which means we’ll work together to find the approach that feels most helpful for you. I’ll regularly check in with you about what’s working and what’s not, and will adapt our sessions to meet your needs as they change and evolve.
Person-centred values are at the heart of my practice. I aim to offer a warm, compassionate space, free from judgement. It’s important to me that you feel accepted and able to explore whatever is important to you, always at your own pace. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is one of the most important parts of counselling, and I see therapy as something we do together rather than something that is done to you. I am always open to feedback and learning what works for your unique needs and situation.
Alongside this person-centred foundation, I may draw on elements of CBT and psychodynamic approaches where they feel helpful and where they fit with your goals. Together, we’ll explore your experiences and develop greater understanding, finding practical ways to support positive change.
My priority is to work collaboratively with you, respecting your individuality and supporting you in a way that feels right for you.
