Hello, I’m Joe. I am a trainee integrative therapist currently studying an MSc in Counselling and Coaching. Outside of counselling, I am a creative at heart. My background as an actor, facilitator, and director led to creative producing, eventually becoming deputy of an arts charity and theatre. I've also partnered with CAMHS and Oxleas NHS, supporting young people (16-25) with complex mental health needs and adults with learning differences. My arts background sparked a deep interest in the human experience, leading me to train as a counsellor and coach. Through my leadership role, I also have a deep understanding of the stresses of modern working life.

Hi there, I'm Minzi. I've always been curious about how people make sense of themselves. My background spans Psychology, Neuroscience, and Digital Anthropology, exploring how culture, identity and behaviour intersect. My own history, and navigating questions of belonging as a minority, led me to therapy - and ultimately to training at the Minster Centre, where I am currently completing my clinical training and working with clients within the NHS.

Hi, I’m Mathieu. I am a trainee integrative therapist currently completing my Advanced Diploma at CPPD. Originally from France, I have lived and worked in several European countries. Before training as a therapist, I worked in the corporate world and later made a significant career change into acting. These different experiences have given me a deep interest in understanding the different aspects of self, change, relationships, and the many transitions that shape our lives. Alongside therapy, I also facilitate leadership and personal development training for professionals. I work in both English and French.

Hi, I’m Annia. I am a trainee counsellor currently studying at the University of Salford and a student member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), working within their ethical framework. Alongside my training, I work as a primary school teacher, and my experience in education has shaped my understanding of relationships and the lasting impact of early experiences. I bring a trauma and attachment-informed perspective to my work. As a British Indian woman, I am aware of the complexities of navigating multiple cultural identities and how this can shape how we see ourselves and relate to others. I aim to offer a supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace.

Hello, I’m Molly - a trainee counsellor at Inside Talk. I am currently working towards my professional qualification in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy at the University of East London.

My name is Nola, and I am an integrative trainee psychotherapist at the University of East London. I offer a thoughtful, compassionate space for those who may be feeling overwhelmed, unheard, or uncertain about where to turn.

I believe therapy should feel like a collaborative and empowering process where you can explore your experiences with curiosity and care.

Hi, I’m Drew (he/him), an autistic, queer trainee therapist at the Minster Centre in London, currently based in Staffordshire. Before coming into therapy work, I trained as a dancer. This experience gave me an appreciation for the ways our bodies hold emotion, experience and identity, and continues to shape how I think about the connection between our physical and emotional lives. Alongside my professional training, I have an interest in contemplative practices that explore living with greater awareness, compassion and connection. I am curious about what gives life meaning and how we might relate to ourselves more gently.

Hi, I’m Julia, a Trainee Counselling Psychologist completing my Professional Doctorate in Counselling Psychology at the University of Roehampton. I also hold a Master of Science in Psychology. Before training in psychology, I worked in the visual arts, public sector, and charity management in Australia and England. These roles taught me the value of listening deeply, understanding diverse perspectives, and supporting people through change and challenge—skills that naturally feed into my counselling practice. They also gave me insight into how people create meaning, adapt, and find resilience, which continues to inform how I support clients today. I have clinical experience working in community settings, including supporting adults experiencing cancer-related emotional distress, as well as carers and families affected by bereavement and anticipated loss.
