Hi, I’m Stacey, my specialisms are working with trauma, and supporting neurodivergent individuals at various stages of their journey. From initial musings about whether you may be Autistic or have ADHD to offering post-diagnostic support assimilating what this may mean for you, and helping you navigate any comorbid mental health difficulties, think about your relationships, education, work, and other holistic needs. I have had the privilege of working as a clinical psychologist with people of all ages, who have experienced a variety of mental health, neurodevelopmental and emotional difficulties, within the NHS, and privately, for over 15 years.
I work integratively using CBT, Trauma-focused CBT, ACT, and EMDR, to tailor the support I offer. I have a particular interest in trauma and helping people to reclaim their lives. I’m also trained to offer support for tics/Tourette’s. I look forward to supporting you.

Hi, I’m Jenny, and my specialism is working with people experiencing distress around eating and body image. I have worked in mental health for over 10 years, and since qualifying as a Clinical Psychologist I have worked in NHS Eating Disorder Services for young people and adults.

I am a chartered forensic psychologist and have over eight years experience working with children and adults in secure and community settings. I specialise in working with people with trauma histories who may be experiencing difficulties with emotional management and struggle to navigate interpersonal relationships.
My primary approach is Schema Therapy, and I adopt a relational approach to therapy where my main goal is to establish an authentic connection with the people I work with. I have experience of working therapeutically with people presenting with different areas of need such as personality difficulties, low mood, post-traumatic stress disorder (including dissociation), hopelessness and suicidal ideation, addiction and self-harm. My experience in forensic settings means I am skilled in understanding risky behaviours and often work with people who may have had violence committed against them or may have been violent towards others. I aim provide a warm, empathic and non-judgemental space for people to collaboratively explore the meaning behind their behaviours, before establishing healthier coping mechanisms that will allow you to move forward with your life.

I have also completed qualifying-level training as a Family and Systemic Psychotherapist. Family Therapy helps individuals, couples and families gain greater understanding of the patterns and dilemmas that can arise in relationships. It also helps connect people with their strengths and resources, which helps individuals, couples and families find solutions that will work for them in their lives.
I have a passion for using creative methods to help people achieve well-being and often combine my expertise in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Systemic Family Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and faith-based psychotherapy, enabling me to bring a range of ideas to my work.
Consultant Clinical psychologist
Dr Naureen Whittinger
My name is Nina, I am a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Therapist. I have worked clinically in the NHS since 2019, making mental health assessments and delivering one-to-one therapy sessions or group therapy sessions to young people and parents for anxiety, low-mood and behavioural difficulties.
My approach is person-centred/humanistic and holistic; being kind and non-judgmental are key for me in exploring problems with clients and I have comprehensive experience of working with diverse populations. I incorporate Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) techniques if appropriate, and an expertise of mine is working with neurodivergent children and young people having had extensive experience and education working with children in education settings previous to my CBT work.
CBT involves understanding how our thoughts, behaviours and feelings play out in our difficulties, and helps us to consider how to make changes. I have worked with teens, children and parents on general anxiety and specific anxiety disorders including OCD, trauma, social anxiety, panic disorder, emetophobia, trichotillomania, and depression, low motivation, self-esteem, body and eating concerns and parenting.
The first session usually helps us to briefly understand the problem and how CBT (and some adaptations) might help. Subsequent sessions involve more learning around the problem and identifying goals for change and how to make the changes. The problem is monitored regularly to see the difference and to help us evaluate what is working.
CBT Therapist
Nina Takk
I’m Jo, I have really enjoyed working across different NHS psychology services over the last 8 years. I have worked with people across age ranges and with varied emotional and physical health difficulties. I am passionate about helping people improve their emotional wellbeing whilst living with chronic physical health conditions.
As a clinical psychologist I integrate a range of therapeutic approaches. I value using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as well as Compassion Focussed Therapy (CFT) in supporting someone to conceptualise their difficulties, so they can learn and develop therapeutic tools that will help them lead the life they want to. I also think these approaches place the person at the center of treatment, allowing space to build a good therapeutic relationship and understand the person, their difficulties and their hopes for treatment.

My name is Gagan and I am the Clinical Lead at Collective Psychology. I have many years of experience in delivering therapy to adults and young people with a variety of mental health difficulties. It is important for me to create a safe environment for people to talk about parts of themselves that may be difficult or feel taboo to talk about in day-to-day life. My approach will enable you to share and explore parts of your identity and difficult or traumatic life experiences. Alongside my expertise in working with common mental health difficulties, I have a special interest in helping people talk about areas such as relationships, sex, sexuality, gender, race, and culture. My style of work aims to help you to understand difficult patterns that may reoccur in your life and how to change them. I adopt an integrative approach, utilising relational approaches such as psychodynamic thinking alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapies (CBT). My highest priority is to hear you and, together, create a sanctuary for exploration and healing.

The focus of my practice is to be creative and collaborative, taking an integrative approach and tailoring therapy to individual interests and values.

I draw on evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and Systemic approaches, particularly Narrative therapy.
My current role in the NHS involves working alongside marginalised groups to improve access to mental health services, centred around the principles of community psychology and co-production.

Counselling Psychologist
Dr Arti Mehan-Patel
I am a Counselling Psychologist and MBT Practitioner. With over 8 years of experience, I have worked in NHS primary and secondary care, as well as community counselling services. My experience involves working with patients dealing with a variety of mental health issues.
Everyone is different, and everyone has a unique life full of challenges and strengths. Thus, the aim of my work is to collaboratively focus on what you may want and need help with. It's important to me that you feel safe and accepted, enabling you to explore your difficult experiences, understand what troubles you, accept what cannot be changed, and change what can be changed. As such, therapeutic process can help you learn how to break the cycle of hopelessness and find helpful ways out of your experiences of feeling stuck.
My approach is rooted in a pluralistic model, integrating elements from psychodynamic, humanistic, existential, and cognitive-behavioural therapeutic modalities. This means that different theories or therapeutic models may be more or less helpful at different points in time, depending on your needs or preferences along your therapeutic journey.
Counselling Psychologist
Dr Egle Meistaite
I am a Clinical Psychologist offering private individual therapy to adults. I also work part-time in the NHS in a Cancer Psychology service. I qualified in 2005 and over the years have worked in a wide range of settings and with a variety of difficulties. These include working with people with severe and enduring mental health problems, inpatient psychiatric units, community mental health teams and with people in mental health crisis.
In recent years I have developed an interest in working with people with various physical health problems and with people who may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety and depression as a result of what might be called a crisis of meaning, or an 'existential crisis'. For some people these symptoms might be understood as being a form of philosophical or existential Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I am also interested in working with people who have a fear of becoming ill or dying.
I use concepts from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in my work, alongside Compassion Focused Therapy and existential ideas. I enjoy working with people to help them develop a different relationship with difficult thoughts and feelings, whilst also supporting them in building a meaningful and fulfilling life.
Clinical psychologist
Dr Joanna Cates
I trained in Psychology after an early career in media, wishing to work closely with people and the difficulties that they are experiencing in their lives. I understand mental health and well-being difficulties as serious challenges that can be changed with the right psychological support. As a Counselling Psychologist, I’ve had therapy and valued it enormously for the experience that I gained.
My professional experience is within NHS primary and secondary services (children and adult), the MOD working with military-service men and women, and the community voluntary sector.
My approach is to personalise therapy for each young person or adult that I am entrusted to work with; we are not all the same. I use contemporary and evidence-based approaches; CBT in many forms including ‘Early Intervention’, Narrative, Person-Centred, and multiple trauma approaches including EMDR. My role as a professional is to support informed therapy choices that people must make for their goals to be realised. I also understand the value of a good therapeutic relationship – a fundamental for any effective therapy experience.
Counselling psychologist
Dr Peter Neil
Different life stages have their own particular challenges whether that’s childhood, adulthood or older. I focus on "life-induced burnout", however that may present; in a diagnosis of some kind, feelings of hopelessness, frustration or even confusion. My intention is to help people understand their place in the world, regardless of age. I help people develop insight into who they are and why they do the things that they do. Understanding yourself is the first step in being able to identify things that you can change, things you can’t change and things that you won’t change about yourself.
I have 14 years of experience as a clinical psychologist working with vastly different clients and settings, including the NHS.
I also offer 90 minute sessions in my equine facilitated psychotherapy clinic in Epsom. I have a therapy herd where I conduct sessions with individual clients. Nature based therapies are becoming increasingly popular as people seek out something different to room-based therapies. Work with horses is incredibly effective and is considered “high impact, slow release”. This means that the experience can be profound in the moment, with the impact lasting long after the therapy is concluded.

Clinical Psychologist
Dr Natasha Sharma
I am a Clinical Psychologist with over 10 years experience, having worked in a wide variety of child and family settings within community and specialist NHS teams and schools, predominantly with children, parents and younger adults.
The breadth of experiences gained across different teams/services organisations has highlighted the huge variability across presentations and the importance of maintaining a focus on the individual alongside their understanding of their own unique situation.
This approach has proved invaluable when working with clients who have neurodevelopmental conditions or neurodiversity (diagnosed or otherwise). Working also with individuals with learning disabilities has further reinforced the benefit of considering each person’s own multi-faceted profile and adapting therapy where and whenever relevant to suit the individual’s needs. Using their strengths to help navigate and accommodate for “one size” that quite often does not fit all!
I have gone on to gain more specialist qualifications in parenting and further training in other therapeutic modalities Amongst which I am EMDR trained to work with children (as well as with adults), integrating other evidence-based modalities where needed and of most help. Having worked with a full range of presentations and mental health difficulties, I am able to adopt the best approach to help ameliorate distress caused by trauma, anxieties or any adverse life event that presents itself in such a a way as to impact negatively on mental health and well-being.
Sharing an understanding together of what has happened which has led people to seek support and what might help - we can discuss along the way when obstacles present themselves, and when modifications might be needed and why. By using individual hopes and goals for therapy, it will also be possible to recognise how and when things become more manageable, drawing on existing strengths and identifying new ones, and finding more helpful ways to go forward
Clinical Psychologist
Dr Emma Trustam
I am a BAPT-accredited play therapist with over ten-years of experience as a teacher and Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCo). Throughout my career, I have developed a deep interest in children’s mental health, attachment, and the ways in which trauma manifests in children’s behaviours and experiences.
Play therapy is an evidence-based therapeutic approach where children use play, creative activities, and symbolic expression to communicate their feelings, process difficult experiences, and work through emotional challenges. For many children, play is a natural language - one they can use to express things that may be too difficult or complex to articulate with words. In my practice, I provide a safe, supportive space where children can engage in play as a way to explore their emotions and experiences without feeling the pressure to verbalise them. I also work closely with the family surrounding the child to ensure that everyone feels supported and understood throughout the therapy process. This holistic approach helps create a sense of continuity and understanding, allowing children to feel safe in their home and school environments while they work through their emotions.
Play therapist
Sarah Rogers

My aim is to provide you with a safe and confidential space to manage your feelings in a non-judgmental environment.
Therapy is offered according to what you need which may include a trauma-focused approach, talking therapy or using creative methods. My work is client-led, whether that is individual, couples or families.
I have 9 years experience working in CAMHS specialist services, NSPCC, primary and secondary schools. Trained in: CATT - Creative Accelerated Trauma Therapy, Trauma Focused CBT, Autism and suicide prevention, Safeguarding children level 3, The Oliver McGowan Training on Learning Disability and Autism.
Psychotherapist and Drama Therapist
Alexandra Butler
I have been working therapeutically for nearly a decade within clinics, hospitals and the private sector. Having qualified as an Occupational Therapist at the University of Cape Town, I have undertaken further training over the course of my career to enrich my clinical work including training in Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Enhanced Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Interpersonal Neurobiology, a Foundation Course in Dance Movement Psychotherapy and Positive Psychology and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). Over the years my passion for working with women has evolved, and just prior to becoming a mother myself, I stumbled across the theory of Matrescence (a word used to describe the transition and evolution of a woman becoming a mother). I have since undertaken additional training in perinatal mental health, matrescence and motherhood sociology to better support mother's through postpartum and beyond.
I strive to create a safe, caring and containing space. My warm, empathetic nature has helped me in supporting individuals to explore their distress and challenges so as to alleviate this and feel a deep sense of agency, purpose and contentment in their lives.

It is important for me to create a safe environment for people to talk about parts of themselves that may be difficult or feel taboo to talk about in day-to-day life. My approach will enable you to share and explore parts of your identity and difficult or traumatic life experiences. Alongside my expertise in working with common mental health difficulties, I have a special interest in helping people talk about areas such as relationships, sex, sexuality, gender, race, and culture. My style of work aims to help you to understand difficult patterns that may reoccur in your life and how to change them. I adopt an integrative approach, utilising relational approaches such as psychodynamic thinking alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapies (CBT). My highest priority is to hear you and, together, create a sanctuary for exploration and healing.
Clinical Lead & Clinical Psychologist
Dr Gagan Bangar
As a dual qualified clinical and counselling psychologist , I strive to foster a non-judgemental, warm, and collaborative space for you to feel comfortable. I strongly believe there is no “one size fits all” approach, so although skilled in a number of evidence based therapy models such as CBT, my approach is individually tailored to your unique problems and circumstances.
I worked for a number of years in Canada in adult mental health in leadership roles before moving to the UK in 2015. The areas I specialise in are anxiety such as panic, social anxiety, phobias, OCD, PTSD, and the psychological and emotional aspects of managing long term health conditions.
I am passionate about culturally inclusive therapy and have published research in this area. I have been interviewed by the BBC several times as an expert in culturally inclusive practice. In my clinical work, this means that I embrace talking about your religious faith, cultural background, spiritual beliefs, or any experiences of racism or discrimination, and will tailor the approach and techniques to fit with this.
Clinical & counselling Psychologist
Dr Aneesa Shariff
I work therapeutically with individuals of all ages to support those struggling with mental health difficulties such as; anxiety, depression, trauma, end-of-life issues, loss and bereavement, stress, identity issues, and relationship difficulties. I draw upon various therapeutic approaches in my work, including Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Mentalisation-Based Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Mindfulness.
I offer a warm and safe space for clients to talk about their experiences and develop a deeper understanding of their difficulties, their emotions, and their relationships. I support clients towards achieving their therapy goals by offering insights, skills, and techniques that can contribute to long lasting change. I also pay close attention to factors which may be negatively impacting clients unconsciously (without awareness), and support them to work through and resolve difficulties in order to live the life that they want to live.

Hi, my name is Carlos and I'm an ADHD and Executive Function coach. I specialise in working with adults and older teenagers who are struggling with ADHD or ADHD-like symptoms. In this context, coaching is a collaborative process in which I help my clients to get a clearer picture of what they want and how to get there. Some clients enjoy learning about what current research says about ADHD and other executive function challenges, but the most important part is to learn about your experiences and particular traits. We will explore your strengths and use them to create the momentum needed to work through current and future challenges and to bring long term motivation and enjoyment to your life. I trained as a coach with the ADD Coaching Academy and I'm a member of ICF (International Coaching Federation). I hold a MPhil in Cognitive Science and I have published several papers in the field.

They all have similarities and differences, and their own strengths and weaknesses, hence why I like to use these models flexibly to think about what can help you best. I understand how daunting it can be to see a therapist. I like to work in a way where we build trust over time so we can acknowledge your strengths and values. I'm a firm believer that you have all you need within you to create change, but therapy can help to cultivate it.

Counselling Psychologist
Dr Andrew Geddes
Different life stages have their own particular challenges whether that’s childhood, adulthood or older. I focus on "life-induced burnout", however that may present; in a diagnosis of some kind, feelings of hopelessness, frustration or even confusion. My intention is to help people understand their place in the world, regardless of age. I help people develop insight into who they are and why they do the things that they do. Understanding yourself is the first step in being able to identify things that you can change, things you can’t change and things that you won’t change about yourself.
I have 14 years of experience as a clinical psychologist working with vastly different clients and settings, including the NHS.
I also offer 90 minute sessions in my equine facilitated psychotherapy clinic in Epsom. I have a therapy herd where I conduct sessions with individual clients. Nature based therapies are becoming increasingly popular as people seek out something different to room-based therapies. Work with horses is incredibly effective and is considered “high impact, slow release”. This means that the experience can be profound in the moment, with the impact lasting long after the therapy is concluded.

Casey Bradford
I am a certified ADHD coach offering coaching to teenagers and adults. I moved into ADHD coaching when, as a learning support teacher, I discovered there was very little understanding and support for children and teenagers with ADHD. I enrolled on an ADHD coach training course with ADDCA and began coaching teenagers in the school where I worked. This is how I discovered the power of strengths-based coaching for people with ADHD.
ADHD coaching may include helping the client and family members become more self-aware, learning about his/her unique brain wiring and understanding how ADHD manifests in different situations. During coaching, the client is helped to uncover his/her strengths, processing styles, past successes and accomplishments, and environments for success to support them in reaching their goals and developing self-awareness and confidence. Coaching empowers the ADHD client to learn specific strategies and systems that will successfully help him/her navigate life in environments that may not be ADHD friendly. Coaching may also assist family members to understand, support and provide an ADHD supportive environment in which the client can thrive.
