Jonny Lindsay
Counsellor / Psychotherapist
You might be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or quietly struggling while appearing to cope on the outside. Many people come to therapy when they’re tired of going round in circles, overthinking, or carrying things on their own.I work with adults who want a space that is calm, honest, and grounded, where they can slow things down, make sense of what’s happening, and begin to feel more like themselves again.Therapy with me is relational and thoughtful. I will listen carefully, but I will also gently challenge patterns that keep you stuck.I often work with people experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, feeling stuck, shame, and life transitions. This includes people who appear to function well outwardly but feel disconnected or overwhelmed internally.ExperienceAlongside my private practice, I work as a qualified supervisor, offering reflective supervision to counsellors and trainees. I have also worked as a mentor for young people through the YMCA and as both a counsellor and assessor for a well-established low-cost counselling charity in West Sussex.This experience has involved working with adults and young people from diverse backgrounds and with a wide range of presenting concerns.I also bring a depth of life experience into my work, which helps me offer grounded, compassionate, and thoughtful support tailored to each individual.

Cerrie Lantrua
Counsellor
Clients often tell me how much they value having a space where they feel understood, where they don’t have to explain their neurodivergence or justify their experiences.I am neurodivergent myself, and I’m open about that. It’s not something I see as a limitation, but as something that shapes how I understand, relate, and connect. Alongside my training and experience, this gives me a way of seeing things that often helps clients feel recognised in ways they may not have experienced before.I’m naturally creative and tend to think outside the box, which allows me to consider different perspectives and gently step into what it might be like to be you, not from a place of judgement, but from a genuine willingness to understand.At the same time, I don’t assume your experience is the same as anyone else’s. No two people are the same. A big part of what I offer is taking the time to learn what you need, how you experience things, and what support feels right for you.You are the expert on yourself. My role isn’t to tell you what to do or who to be, but to walk alongside you as you begin to understand yourself more fully.I aim to create a space where you feel safe enough to be real. Where you don’t have to mask, filter, or find the “right” way to say things. A space where you can feel seen, heard, and genuinely understood.

Tony Austin
Integrative psychotherapist
Common feelings such as anxiety, a lack of self-worth or sadness colour our experience and often leave us feeling we have lost our way. Sometimes we can feel like our own worst enemy, giving ourselves a hard time because others can manage, so why can’t I?I chose to train as a psychotherapist after being in therapy myself. Through the process of talking with a skilled therapist I was able to reflect on how my past had shaped my present, understand myself better, value myself more and create a happier, more fulfilled life and I want to help others do the same. Nothing gives me greater satisfaction than having a client say they feel “unburdened” at the end of a session or, at their final session, seeing them leave with greater confidence ready to make the changes necessary to create the life they want.After completing my training as a counsellor at Lambeth College, I worked for an NHS counselling service in West London. I helped many clients dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship breakdown and many other common issues and seeing so many people find positive solutions fuelled my passion for therapy and I would like to help you. I believe everyone deserves to be heard and with the right support can create positive, lasting change. Through our work together, I can help you reduce anxiety, rebuild your confidence, learn how to recognise unhelpful habits such as “people pleasing”, or “self-sabotage” and create better relationships with yourself and others.If you want to learn more about how counselling can help you, get in touch through the link at the bottom of this page and take the first step to happier, more fulfilling life.

Rosie Dee
Psychotherapist
I'm a humanistic psychotherapist working with individuals and couples, and I bring empathy, hope and creativity to my work. I am interested and curious about what it means and feels like to be you, and I really believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship as a vessel for growth and change. It is a privilege to do this work, and to be a part of the exploration of your life story, who you are and what matters to you.

Andy Wolage
Therapeutic Counsellor
Sometimes life is really hard. Everything feels like too much. We can get overwhelmed with guilt for not coping, shame for having failed in the past and sometimes we can end up not really liking ourselves very much. We might self medicate with substances or other behaviours which we know don't really help, but they seem better than nothing. But they just perpetuate the cycle. I can offer you a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space to organise and reframe those overwhelming feelings and see the wood for the trees. I can help you understand yourself better and to begin to look in the mirror and like what you see.
