About Dr. Esther Cole
I am HCPC registered, BPS accredited and a professionally insured Clinical Psychologist working in the NHS and private practice. I have worked in multi-disciplinary teams with clients with a range of mental and physical health, neurological conditions, challenging behaviour and cognitive problems, with very positive results since 2008 (qualifying as a Clinical Psychologist in 2013).
I tailor make all therapies to the person, child, young person or organisation’s needs and draw on the best available evidence. This could mean offering a combination of different therapies such as CBT, systemic and narrative approaches or integrating several therapeutic methods until we feel we are making progress.

Dr Marta Wahnon
Counselling Psychologist (she/her)
I am a chartered lifespan Psychologist with 16 years of experience in the field of complex trauma. I have extensive experience of treating adults and children with both mild and complex difficulties relating to mental health.
As the lead for crisis services in the NHS, I specialise in acute mental health crisis in an outreach capacity. I offer psychological assessment and treatment, promoting reflection and compassion in trauma-informed approach. That is, bringing a critical perspective to practice that reframes psychopathology. Instead of “What is wrong with you?”, I am interested in “What has happened to you?”
As an eclectic practitioner, I draw on various therapeutic approaches in my work. Primarily grounded in psychodynamic psychotherapy and cognitive-behavioural-therapy, my work is also influenced by compassion-focused therapy, solution-focused-therapy, CAT and systemic approaches. I take a holistic view of healing, recognising the importance of sleep, nutrition and exercise.
Ultimately I believe that the client/therapist relationship is the single most important factor in predicting therapeutic outcomes, rather than specific therapeutic models. So I encourage attention to this dyad with all my clients.
Alongside my clinical work, I offer supervision, consultation and training for staff working in community services.
