Charlotte Gutu
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.
Being human is hard and life today comes with it’s own set of challenges. A lot of us feel burned out, overwhelmed, not good enough or are desperately lonely.
I work with people who want to heal and find a way to move forward in their lives with more ease and understanding.
Therapy with me is non judgemental, compassionate and dynamic. It’s a space where we can take a look at the difficult stuff together and where i’ll support you in growing towards where you want to go – drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches and practices to help you get there.

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.
