40 Melton Road, Oakham
Fourteen therapists. Six rooms. One door.
A group practice of qualified counsellors and psychotherapists in the centre of Oakham – with real depth in complex trauma, couples work and neurodiversity, and the range to match you to the right person.
Who runs the Centre
UKCP
Sally Atkinson
UKCP-registered integrative psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, and tutor on the MSc in Integrative Psychotherapy at SPTI.
Sally has built this practice over many years, and she still does the thing she is best at: bringing well-trained therapists into the profession and helping them establish themselves. She works integratively, relationally and developmentally – interested in your relational history from birth, and in what the relationship formed in the room reveals about the unconscious processes still operating in your adult life, often driving the patterns you cannot seem to stop repeating.
Her own clinical work is now with complex presentations: complex trauma, dissociative disorders and attachment. She trains therapists in trauma and relational approaches to trauma with Carolyn Spring at Yellow Frog Psychotherapy Training.

'It's the relationship which heals.' That belief runs through everything here – in the room, in supervision, and in how new therapists are brought on.
Sally's own availability is very limited. She is not taking on new clients other than in exceptional circumstances. If you have found your way here looking for therapy, the people to talk to are the therapists at the Centre – all qualified, between them covering most of what you are likely to need, and with rather more room in their diaries.

Couples therapy
Two of our therapists work with couples, both trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy. Sessions are longer than individual work and are booked directly with the therapist.
Neurodiversity
Therapists here who work specifically with autistic and ADHD adults, and who adapt the work accordingly – pace, sensory environment, communication.
For therapists
Clinical supervision
Several of the therapists at the Centre offer clinical supervision, across a range of modalities and with a good deal of experience between them.
Supervision is an essential part of the work. Each year we have to account to our professional bodies for the supervision we have had – at its heart, it is a matter of ethical practice.
Sally specialises in supervision for complex trauma.
Individual supervision
One-to-one supervision for qualified and trainee psychotherapists, in person at the Centre or online.
Group supervision
Small supervision groups meeting at the Centre.
Supervision training
From September 2027, the Centre will run a training course in clinical supervision.
Training
Training for psychotherapists
Two current offerings of professional training operating from the Centre or nearby, led by Sally.
Co-creation in the therapy room
A closed group for qualified psychotherapists – not trainees – led by Sally, running from September 2026 to July 2027. The current cohort is full, but you can add your name to the waiting list for the next group.
Yellow Frog Psychotherapy Training
Continuing professional development for psychotherapists, run by Sally with Carolyn Spring. Dates, topics and booking are at yellowfrogtraining.com. At the Centre, in nearby Melton Mowbray, and also online.

A note on the landmark. The building was for many years described as 'above Rutland Radio'. Rutland Radio has gone. Look instead for the green door, between the shopfronts, directly across from the station approach.
Make an enquiry
Tell us a little, and we'll point you to the right person.
Enquiries come to the Centre and we route them to the therapist best placed to help – by speciality, by availability and by how you want to work. You are welcome to approach a therapist directly instead if you already know who you want to see.
The more you can tell us, the better the match. It helps to know a brief outline of what is going on for you now, any relevant history you already know about, what kind of therapy you are looking for – short-term, long-term, weekly – and what you are able to commit to.
We aim to reply within 48 hours where possible.
