Dr. Heather Sequeira

Consultant Psychologist | Specialist in Trauma, OCD & Affective Intelligence

Dr Heather Sequeira is a Chartered Consultant Psychologist with a distinctive focus on trauma, OCD, and the affective intelligence that often lies beneath psychological distress. With over two decades of clinical and academic experience, she integrates lived insight with evidence-based practice to challenge narrow diagnostic thinking and expand how we support complex mental health. She has a special interest in helping men.

Heather is the founder of PTSDTraumaWorkshops, a BPS-approved training platform for psychologists and CBT therapists, and an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Birmingham. She also works clinically within the NHS and contributes widely to national media, including BBC Radio 4, The Guardian, Sky News, and the World Service.

A former Senior Research Fellow at the University of London, Heather’s work bridges neurobiological, relational, and experiential understandings of trauma and OCD. She advocates for treatment models that not only reduce symptoms but attend to the meaning, sensitivity, and deep emotional processing many individuals bring to therapy.

Dr. Matthew Ireland

Do you feel like you’re performing your life instead of living it? Maybe everything looks fine on the outside, but inside you feel anxious or uncertain – without knowing exactly what you want to change, or why. You’re not alone in feeling this way.

I help men explore the deeper questions behind their identity, relationships or life struggles – not just what’s happening, but what it means to them – so they can reconnect with themselves, make clearer choices and move from acting in life to authoring their future. My approach is warm and respectful, so you can be honest without fear of judgment. You’re welcome to book a free intro call – no pressure, just a chat.

Dr. Daniela Bloom

I am a chartered Counselling Psychologist and EMDR therapist, registered with HCPC and accredited by the British Psychological Society. In my therapeutic practice I work predominantly with issues around relationships, intimacy, anxiety, depression, loneliness and isolation, self-esteem, body image and eating disorders, gender identity, and a more general unease around existence.

My therapeutic approach is existentially/phenomenologically based, meaning that in therapy, we will focus on your unique, personal experience and how you have come to find yourself where you are, and then examine the possibility that you are in a constant process of becoming, ever-changing, but always in relation.

I offer an open, honest and laid back relationship for you to explore whatever is troubling you. Talking about and exploring your emotions and feelings can help you come to your own conclusions and empower you to take the next steps in life.

Counselling can help you make sense of your emotions bringing about positive change in your life. I am down to earth and easy going and will put you at ease, enabling you to open up without feeling under pressure.
