Candy Bokungu

I’m a qualified integrative therapist practising since 2018. I work with young people and adults.

I like to create a calm and non-judgmental environment where you are guided to explore freely. You are listened to and helped to have insight into your thoughts and feelings.

Before embarking on a career in counselling, I worked in the fashion industry in Milan. I understand what it feels like to be under pressure in an intensively demanding and challenging environment.

I believe that changing your perspective often enables a passion for life to return and, with it goals accomplished, and aspirations realised.

Hey! I’m Charlotte. I’m a therapist with an interest in helping people in their 20’s and 30’s live with more authenticity, compassion and meaning.

David Campbell

David Campbell

My name is David Campbell and I have been a trained as a Counsellor for over 30 years. I initially trained as a Person Centred Counsellor at Avery Hill Teachers college, however I did not start to formally practice counselling until 15 years ago. 
 
I started my working life as a Youth Worker in London then later moved to Sheffield as a senior manager with Sheffield Youth Service. A few years before leaving the youth service I started to re-engage with counselling by volunteering to work for the Interchange Counselling Service. I later moved onto work for the Elementary Society (youth work Project) and SAYIT a young people’s focused project working with LGBTQ community. 
 
As someone who has come from a youth work background my particular interest is working with young people. I describe my approach to counselling as non Eurocentric. I work with pictures, music and role play where appropriate. My approach does not  follow convention nor is it traditional to counselling, however it is solidly framed within the ethical framework of a person centred model of counselling. 
 
In recent years I have been concerned by the lack of opportunities and take up by the Black and Asian community in engaging with counselling. I and keen to work at redressing this imbalance and demonstrate the positive impact that counselling can have.
 
I have also worked with families and adults as part of my private practice. 
 
I have a keen interest in sport which includes, cycling, running, triathlon, Ironman and Taekwondo.  I also like to read and have a keen interest in politics.
 
In summary, counselling should be flexible, open, creative, and model itself on the needs of each individual client. Not “one shoe fits all”.  It should should be a place to explore ones experiences/thoughts and develop the “tools” to form an integral part of the clients journey. 
 
We should all learn to laugh through the tears.

Delroy Hall Black Therapist

Delroy Hall

I am a counsellor with thirty years experience gained from the NHS, Higher Education, charities and private practice.

I have been told I enable people to relax so they can talk about important matters of the heart.

I offer talking therapy, however, I also use writing as a means of helping people deal with unpleasant emotions.

In some cases, therapy can initially be hard work, but I remain amazed how providing a safe space for someone to talk, and be listened to, can have a significant effect on helping recovery while looking to the future with hope and confidence.

Therapies offered: 

Psychodynamic, solution focussed, therapeutic writing
