What we can help with
"A thing which has not been understood inevitably reappears;
like an unlaid ghost, it cannot rest until the mystery has been solved and the spell broken"
Sigmund Freud
Who Provides the Counselling?

All counsellors on placement work under regular clinical supervision from Jacqui Vaughan, a qualified Clinical Supervisor (Dip.C.Sup), ensuring you receive safe, ethical, and effective support.

Bronwyn Steenekamp
Trainee Integrative Counsellor & Psychotherapist
Bronwyn holds an MSc in Clinical Psychology and is currently completing a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy at the University of East London. Before training as a counsellor, Bronwyn spent several years working directly with young people and adults in challenging frontline settings, including NHS community care, youth mental health transition services, and homelessness support. These experiences have given her a genuine understanding of vulnerability, resilience, and the courage it takes to ask for help. Bronwyn believes that every person carries the capacity for growth and change, and that the therapeutic relationship is the foundation from which that becomes possible. Her role is to offer a warm, non-judgmental space where clients feel genuinely heard and safe enough to explore what is troubling them, at their own pace and in their own way. Her approach is grounded in person-centred values such as empathy, authenticity, and deep respect for each client’s unique experience. She works collaboratively, helping clients make sense of their thoughts and feelings, reconnect with their own strengths, and develop a greater sense of self-worth and agency. Bronwyn's research on compassion fatigue in homelessness services was published in the Community Mental Health Journal.
