SARAH COSWAY | ACCREDITED PSYCHOTHERAPIST - CBT & ACT
Sarah is a BABCP accredited Therapist and has been supporting people with their mental health for over ten years, both within the NHS and in her own practice. Although her core training was in traditional CBT, she very much lean towards Acceptance and Commitment therapy, which fits well with her drive to create a compassionate, warm and engaging therapy experience with the people she is supporting.
Prior to training to become a therapist, Sarah was a European Patent Attorney working in the large corporate legal division of a multi-national organisation and experienced first-hand, the challenges of juggling the role of professional working woman with the role of being mama to young children. So, it’s probably not a surprise that some of her most rewarding work has been with women in similar shoes. Sarah wants you to feel supported and empowered in a way that she wishes she could have been!
When Sarah isn't working, she enjoys teaching herself to sew, reading her way through her ever growing book mountain, spending time with girlfriends and providing 'mama's taxi service' for her two mancubs.
PAUL LEDGER | ACCREDITED PSYCHOTHERAPIST - CBT & EMDR
Paul, our Paternal Mental Health specialist, has been working within Mental Health for 17 years. After completing his BSc in Clinical Psychology, he worked with the Red Cross Children’s Hospital in South Africa, supporting children who had been affected by trauma. His UK experience includes acute psychiatric inpatient wards, community mental health teams, and delivering evidence-based psychological treatment for common mental health struggles within the NHS.
Paul's qualifications include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Virtual Reality Enhanced CBT (VR-CBT), and working with additional Long-Term Health Conditions and Medically Unexplained Symptoms. His particular interest areas are post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), breaking intergenerational cycles of traumas, children and young people (CYP), and working with other cultures.
Last year he became a parent for the first time and says it has been a privilege to become a Dad, even if it is by far the most difficult thing that he has ever done. Entering patrescence certainly has been an eye-opening experience; the role change, the sacrifices you make, how your life is not your own anymore, and how your values become recalibrated in an instant. Paul wants to help as many people as he can through this sometimes-maddening time.
In his free time (which he says he doesn’t get too much of anymore), he likes playing tennis, running, trekking up mountains, photography, watching movies, listening to audiobooks, walking their dog, Poppy, and spending time with the family.

Sam Murrell is an ICF-accredited coach, Matrescence Guide, and Mama Rising™ Facilitator, specialising in supporting mothers as they return to work after maternity leave.

She loves to travel with her husband and daughter, sampling local food wherever they go, and is convinced she was meant to live somewhere warm and sunny. A passionate fitness fan, Sam can often be found throwing weights around the gym, running through the forest near her home, or skiing when she gets the chance. True to her Essex roots, she’s a big fan of old skool garage and R&B — best enjoyed with a good pisco sour. And while she doesn’t drink tea or coffee, she’ll make an exception for an espresso martini.

RACHEL CIRCUIT | CLINIC MANAGER & PERSONAL ASSISTANT TO LAURA GREENWOOD
Rachel is a dual‑trained Nurse with a BSc (Hons) in Adult Nursing and a Master’s in Mental Health Nursing. She spent years as Nurse in Charge in a Major Trauma ICU, holding space for people on some of the hardest days of their lives. After her second child arrived, she chose to step back from clinical nursing to create a gentler rhythm for her family and her military husband.
Before nursing, Rachel worked in administration for Lockheed Martin, an American defence and aerospace manufacturer, and now she brings together that calm, organised way of working with her clinical understanding to support the smooth running of the clinic. She looks after the day‑to‑day operations, keeps everything flowing quietly in the background, and is usually the first warm voice you’ll hear when you reach out.
Rachel knows that sometimes life feels heavy or tangled, even when you can’t quite explain why. She brings her nursing compassion into every part of her work, offering steadiness, kindness, and a sense of being genuinely looked after from the moment you get in touch, the kind of support that feels a bit like someone handing you a cup of tea and saying, “You’re safe here.”
Outside of work, Rachel likes to play with her children at the beach, as they live near the coast and visit all over the Highlands of Scotland where they live.
