Holly Roberts
Holly Roberts MBACP
Holly is a Relate-trained couples counsellor with extensive experience in helping people in all types of relationships navigate relational issues. For example, these problems could be communication difficulties, where she helps clients learn how to actively listen to their partners and understand what it means to feel heard.
She offers a space where you can work practically to help improve communication quickly, which eases the tension and reduces arguments. This then enables more emotional conversations to be possible, tackling issues together that haven’t been possible on your own.
Common issues that Holly works with are: communication breakdowns, affairs, excessive arguing, becoming new parents, long term relationship apathy, consensual non-monogamy, relationship breakdowns and endings. Holly sees both couples and individuals with relationship issues.

David Futter
David Futter MBACP
David is an integrative therapist who values the importance of building a respectful and empathic relationship with his clients. He believes that this strong therapeutic relationship is key to the client feeling understood and safe enough to explore the issues that have brought them to therapy.
David has a particular interest in attachment theory and how early relationships can set up enduring and often problematic beliefs about the self. His approach is to invite a compassionate awareness and understanding of these patterns, especially if they are no longer helpful or positive. This insight then paves the way for the client to experiment with new ways of being both inside and outside of the therapy room.
In his career as a therapist, David has worked with a variety of presenting issues including: anxiety, depression, sexual abuse, childhood trauma, issues around identity, low self-esteem, relational problems and addiction.

Tom believes that establishing a relationship based on mutual trust and respect can enable his clients to explore the origins of what troubles them and consider new ways of thinking and feeling about the obstacles they face.

Vivian Leong
Vivian Leong COSRT
Vivian is a psychosexual and relationship therapist who sees individuals and couples. She works with relationship issues such as arguments, communication problems, infidelity, separation and navigating non-monogamous relationships. She also specialises in sexual issues such as problems with penetration or consummation, erectile and ejaculation difficulties, low libido and differences in desire, and sexually addictive behaviours. These issues are often seen alongside struggles with anxiety, depression and trauma, which Vivian is experienced in working with.
She is passionate about working with couples and it can be valuable for these clients to have an experienced third person in the room to mediate and guide conversations that are too difficult to have alone or that have become charged over time.
In the therapy room, Vivian supports couples and individuals to gain a better understanding of themselves and each other, and helps clients develop the intrinsic skills that can enable them to navigate their relationships and lives more fluidly.
