EXPLAINING THE DIFFERENCE
THERAPY OR COACHING
When to engage a Therapist?
Therapy aims to address psychological issues, emotional distress, and mental health concerns. It often involves exploring past experiences, traumas, and deep-rooted emotions to promote healing and personal growth. Therapy sessions can also be future focussed, helping you identify personal aims and provide support on the way to reaching them.
Therapy is provided by licensed therapists or counsellors and utilises evidence-based techniques to help people better manage their mental health and emotions.
When to engage a Coach?
Coaching, on the other hand, is a goal-oriented approach focused on enhancing performance, developing skills, and achieving specific objectives. Coaches provide support, guidance, and accountability to help individuals identify strengths, set actionable goals, create strategies, and overcome obstacles.
Coaching is commonly sought by individuals who desire improvement in specific areas of their lives.

OUR THERAPISTS & COACHES
THERAPISTS
Betul
Integrative Therapist
I am a BACP registered Therapist with a BA(Hons) Counselling Psychology degree and I have 12 years and 5000+ hours of clinical experience.
Many of us are fiercely independent and also overworked, exhausted, resentful and isolated. But you don’t have to wait until you’re at your breaking point before you ask for help or support.
The thought of sharing our personal feelings & experiences with a stranger is scary. But -with the right therapist- it can be the most rewarding thing you ever do. It creates room for growth, room for you to release built up emotion and more. Therapy works when you feel safe, supported and are given the tools to create a life you want to live. As a therapist, I create a safe space for you to express yourself. Simply, listening without judgment helps individuals feel heard & seen.

Danielle

I am passionate about supporting individuals with their psychological health and wellbeing.
As an MBACP Integrative Counsellor & Therapist, I offer a bespoke service and engage with individuals in a client-led way whether they are undergoing life-changing events, have experienced trauma, encounter challenges with anxiety, or wish to explore their thoughts and feelings.
I provide a safe and confidential space for self-discovery and growth so that clients can reconnect with themselves, family members and society.

Diana
Integrative Therapist
For many years I have worked in the City of London in a corporate and high-pressured environment, I have an understanding of how the challenges of working in the city or just managing everyday modern life like the pressures of social media and a polarised and at times toxic culture can sometimes trigger addictive behaviours, anxiety or depression.
My experience of seeing people get better when they learn to see themselves and their world differently gives me great joy and satisfaction, I see how shifts happens in the lives of my clients. This is a gradual process which I give full attention and dedication by providing a warm, non-judgmental, and supportive environment where work can then begin by looking in depth at the needs of my client’s life difficulties and take the necessary steps towards the healing of emotional, mental, and existential disease.

Elaine
Integrative Therapist
I work sensitively and collaboratively to help you to reconnect with your emotions, relationships, body and intuition and manage the challenges that life throws at us.
As a therapist I offer a safe, open-minded, non-judgemental space to explore what is going on for you, and to move towards understanding and healing. Being integrative means that my practice is influenced by a variety of widely recognised approaches, shaped to the uniqueness of each client. I am guided by how the client experiences the world and relates socio-culturally and to myself as a therapist.
I trained at the Minster Centre in London and gained a Diploma and an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy. I volunteered as a befriender for the Samaritans for six years and draw on clinical experience as a therapist with Mind. From experience as a strategic director at a highly ranked creative agency I understand how the challenges of working in competitive fields can trigger anxiety, addictive behaviour and overwhelm.

Jerome
Humanistic Therapist
Do you feel overwhelmed by your thoughts? Are there circumstances or experiences that have impacted on your wellbeing? Struggling with your feelings, what they are and how to work through them? I may be able to help you.
My therapeutic approach is humanistic and is led by you; my aim is to develop and provide a safe space for you with which to explore your feelings with the hope for a better understanding of your own self and process.
I find the person-centred (sometimes called humanistic) approach fits in with my own philosophy because it has at its very core, an unshakable belief that all people are good. Person centred counselling believes that each and every person can, and will, become a more fully functioning person if given the correct conditions.

Prior to my work as a therapist, I have worked in education for over twenty years and have vast experience of working with young people and adolescents. I also have experience of working with adults with various neurodevelopmental differences.

We will collaborate to identify the areas of your life that are affecting your wellbeing and explore and reflect on these challenges together. The aim is to work towards increased self-awareness and self-acceptance, which in turn helps develop confidence and trust in oneself so that future challenges are easier to manage.

I’m Paul. It’s good to meet you. When you decide to start therapy with me, we’ll spend the first session exploring what’s brought you to look for therapy right now and what we can do together about this issue. I have a warm, approachable and compassionate style.
I’ll ask some questions about your life right now and some about what it has been like in the past. From there we’ll explore the issues you’re currently experiencing and I will often try to integrate some helpful tools or tips that can help make life feel a little bit easier.
Over the following sessions we’ll build on this work and aim to increase your understanding of your issues and also build your ability to manage in difficult and overwhelming situations.

Vanessa
Nutrition & Performance Coach
Nutrition is a fundamental pillar of our health and performance, but it is often misunderstood. Furthermore, what works for one person, might not be right or enjoyable for the next. To get results, we don’t have to avoid foods, diet or overhaul our whole way of eating.
Performance, Nutrition and Health Coach, Vanessa Sturman is available for bespoke 1-to-1 nutrition coaching, and the process always begins with a 'Power Hour' session.
This session is all about making simple, impactful changes to your eating habits. This includes:
- - Pre-analysis of your food - you send Vanessa images of your food and fill out a questionnaire in advance so she can start planning (this is not about judging your food or cutting anything out, but about finding bespoke changes that have a big impact for YOU)
- Clarity on some of your biggest barriers - and how to overcome them - to get the health, performance and weight management you want and need
- A bespoke action plan that’s truly sustainable and works within your life, for lasting results
- Vanessa’s years of experience, expertise and ability to get people excellent results
The Power Hour session costs 2 credits and needs to be booked at least one week in advance. Once you have booked, you will receive an email with additional information to help you prepare to get the most out of your Power Hour session with Vanessa.
Regularly featured on Sky News and BBC Radio, Vanessa empowers individuals to achieve peak performance through healthy, delicious, sustainable nutrition tailored for even the busiest lifestyles. She is totally bespoke in her approach, and her clients get results such as increased energy, better gut health, weight management without ever dieting again, reduced body pain and recovery time, reduced cravings and better focus – even after just one session.
Power Hour - 60 minute session - 2 credits.

What happens IF I CANCEL A SESSION?
You have to provide 48 hours notice if you want to cancel or rearrange your session, or your session will be deducted from your allowance.
