Dr Zeny Melissourgaki (DclinPsych, HCPC reg)
Clinical Psychologist
Dr Zeny is an HCPC accredited Clinical Psychologist, with a special interest in supporting people cope with important changes in their lives, early-life trauma and the healing power of human relationships, and the connection between mental health and social inequalities. In her NHS role, Dr Zeny splits her time between a psychological service for expectant and new parents and children’s social services, where she supports young people (16-25) leaving the care system. Dr Zeni has thus developed an in-depth understanding of the challenges that arise in the context of major life transitions, particularly in adolescence or young adulthood (e.g., identity formation), and in the perinatal period (e.g., postnatal depression).
At the same time, Dr Zeny has worked, both directly and indirectly, with children, young people, adults and families and with a range of mental health difficulties, from anxiety and depression to more enduring presentations (e.g., psychosis) and addiction (e.g., substance use, gambling). In her different professional roles, she has maintained a warm and compassionate approach to therapy. Dr Zeny appreciates how our early history and circumstances shape our relational patterns and how we see the world. She also considers how various aspects of our social identity (e.g., gender, race) and systems of power around us affect how we feel about ourselves and how we understand our experiences.
Drawing on several treatment models (cognitive behavioural therapy – CBT, acceptance and commitment therapy – ACT, dialectical behaviour therapy – DBT, systemic and narrative models, psychodynamic therapy) allows Dr Zeny to bring a range of ideas and tools to the therapeutic process. However, she is most interested in your story and in helping you tap into your unique strengths, aspirations and your own expertise in your life.
Dr Zeny’s fee is £120 per session.
Dr Davina Ledermann (HCPC, BPS, BABCP)
Health Psychologist and CBT therapist
Dr Davina is double qualified as a Health psychologist and a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist. She has an interest in supporting those who would like help coping with chronic health conditions as well as mental health challenges. Dr Davina places special attention to both mind and body, which allows her to have a holistic approach to her therapy. She is well-placed to help you adjust to conditions that you cannot change as well as challenge yourself to change for the better, when possible. Dr Davina will work collaboratively with you to help you decide how to tackle each matter.
Dr Davina’s compassionate and collaborative approach is a reflection of her personality and past experience. Dr Davina has worked in the field of health psychology for the last 10 years. In her current NHS role, Dr Davina focuses more on helping those struggling with mental health difficulties, including low mood, anxiety, trauma, perinatal difficulties, as well as long-term conditions. Dr Davina has previously worked as a university lecturer teaching students in health psychology.
Dr Davina’s fee is £120.
Dr Panagiotis Bouzianis (DPsych, HCPC, BPS, NSA)
Counselling Psychologist
Dr Panagiotis is a Chartered Counselling Psychologist with over 10 years’ experience across the NHS and private practice. He brings together a strong background in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with a deep interest and long experience in psychoanalytic therapy. In sessions, Dr Panagiotis can offer space to identify and work through patterns of concern — repeating themes, longstanding feelings, conflicting values, and ideals that can weigh heavily on you. Dr Bouzianis often combines the two approaches and works integratively.
Dr Bouzianis is particularly interested in helping people shift long-standing patterns in their relationships, develop greater self-acceptance, and move beyond cycles of self-criticism. His expertise includes working with trauma, PTSD, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, stress, and low self-esteem, supported by his experience as a former Head of Clinical Services for a counselling organisation.
Dr Panagiotis supports people seeking both short-term therapy for immediate concerns and long-term psychotherapy for deeper personal growth. His approach is collaborative and non-judgmental, providing a safe space to explore challenges and work toward lasting change.
Dr Panagiotis’s fee is £120- £130 per session.
Dr Colm Gallagher (DClinPsych, HCPC Reg)
Consultant Clinical Psychologst
I am a Consultant Clinical Psychologist passionate about helping people boost their resilience and wellbeing. I have worked in the NHS for almost 15 years, offering therapeutic interventions to individuals from a great range of social and professional backgrounds. In fact, I have supported individuals experiencing multiple disadvantages, such as homeless people, all the way to directors and senior NHS professionals facing a range of mental health difficulties.
I have had therapy with individuals affected by depression, anxiety, addiction, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), complex trauma, bereavement, eating disorders, physical health issues, and psychosis. Further, I have developed an expertise in helping those facing challenges in their workplace and suffering burnout. I have also offered them support with career development, coaching or mentoring about professional issues. My therapeutic work is both with individuals and couples.
In my therapeutic approach, I offer evidence-based therapy. I draw on a number of models including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), compassion-focused therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and narrative therapy. In addition to my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, I have a Diploma in Narrative Therapy (systemic practice) and I am eligible for the accreditation at the Institute of Narrative Therapy. My post-graduate degree in Primary Care Mental Health focused on the use of CBT in working with clients with anxiety and depression.
In addition, I have developed and led services and supported organisations and staff teams. I have served on national committees, including on the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) committee contributing to the publication of the integrated health and social care for people experiencing homelessness. Further, I have presented at national and international conferences; lectured for undergraduate and postgraduate university courses; and published in peer-reviewed academic journals.
Throughout my career in mental health and psychotherapy I have strived, and continued to develop in providing high quality, compassionate, culturally sensitive psychological services to individuals of all ages, abilities and presenting complexities.
My fee is £140 – £160 per session.
