In 1988, when Andy Travis was 17, his mother began training to be a Lifeline telephone counsellor. She would often talk to him about it. He was fascinated. The following year, Andy had a series of out-of-body experiences. They confirmed what he'd been reading about the parallels between mysticism and quantum physics. He embarked on a life-long journey of meditation. In his early 30s, a mood disorder and addictive patterns led him to 12 Step peer-support groups, where he continues to volunteer today. He established Meeting Point Counselling in 2016.   Andy’s a spoken-word poet and a former community radio host. He has a Diploma of Counselling, an Advanced Diploma of Transpersonal Counselling and a Diploma of Holistic Integrated Creative Arts Therapy. He’s studied/taught meditation for 36 years, practised 12-step addiction recovery for 16 years and has6 years experience as a men's group facilitator. Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy and GESTALT inform his work as a transpersonal counsellor. ‘Transpersonal’ means transcending the ordinary sense of self. If you want, he can facilitate your exploration of ‘non-ordinary states of consciousness’ (without mind-altering substances). This could enable you to access more inner resources than ordinary talk therapy could.   Please feel free to contact him to arrange a free 15 minute phone conversation, so you can see if he’s the right counsellor for you.

Hi, I’m Chandra Zas, I am the health coach who helps humans fall-in-love with healthy. I treat "healthy" as an accumulation of making daily loving decisions that serve our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. The two greatest organs impacting our health, wellness, and performance are our brain and our gut. Our brain and gut are more interconnected than most think. We have more input than we take responsibility for: diet, stress, and lifestyle habits are what create health or lack of. Did you know that our gut sends more signals to our brain than our brain does to our gut? Our bodies have deep wisdom and an incredible ability to heal itself, I call it being your "Own Body Expert." Every day, in practice with my clients, symptoms that they have been tolerating and or medicating for years, will heal. Simply because they’re responding to life's stressors and feeding their bodies differently by applying the process they learn in my Food and Mood Program. Health is not about restriction, guilt, force, or fear of missing out. Health is falling in love with feeling good. It is a lifestyle that is sustainable because it feels truly and deeply good. As a client, I work with you and your relationship with yourSelf, with your mind, and with your body every step of the way, to get you feeling, being, and radiating healthy.

From the outside, Alex Mellor-Brook’s career might look like a collection of accolades: Co-founder of a multi-award-winning matchmaking agency, Vice Chair of the UK’s dating industry governing body, and a regular commentator across television, radio, podcasts and the press. Yet, behind the titles lies a career spanning almost three decades, guided by one mission: helping people find and sustain meaningful relationships.   Alex began his career in dating and relationships over 28 years ago, recognising how complex and often discouraging the search for love could be. This inspired him to co-found Select Personal Introductions, a premium dating and matchmaking agency that supports professionals, entrepreneurs, celebrities, and high-net-worth singles who value privacy, compatibility, and lasting connections. What started as a boutique service has since grown into a global enterprise built on trust, expertise and discretion.   Alongside leading his team, Alex is an Accredited International Matchmaker and Science-based Relationship Coach. His approach combines empathy, strategy, and science, focusing not only on introductions but also on providing clients with the tools to nurture relationships once they have begun.   Widely recognised as an authority on modern relationships, Alex is a trusted media expert whose insights have been featured on ITV, BBC, Fox News, TalkTV and national radio. His expertise has also been featured in leading publications, including The Sunday Times, Cosmopolitan, GQ, and The Independent. Beyond broadcast and press, he is a regular columnist for The Cheshire Magazine, a feature contributor for NationalWorld, and an Executive Contributor for Brainz Magazine, where he uses his platform to demystify dating and promote healthier, lasting relationships. Alex’s expertise has also garnered attention in the public eye, with notable work alongside personalities from The Real Housewives of Cheshire and appearances on At Home with The Nolans.   In his role as Vice Chair of the UK’s dating industry governing body, he champions excellence in standards, helping to shape a transparent, ethical and professional future for the industry.   Today, Alex Mellor-Brook is recognised as one of the country’s most trusted voices on love, relationships, and human connection. Whether he’s guiding a private client, writing for a national publication, or speaking on air, his philosophy remains constant: genuine relationships are built on trust, shared values, and the willingness to grow together.

Alex Mellor-Brook Co-Founder of Select Personal Introductions From the outside, Alex Mellor-Brook’s career might look like a collection of accolades: Co-founder of a multi-award-winning matchmaking agency, Vice Chair of the UK’s dating industry governing body, and a regular commentator across television, radio, podcasts and the press. Yet, behind the titles lies a career spanning almost three decades, guided by one mission: helping people find and sustain meaningful relationships. Alex began his career in dating and relationships over 28 years ago, recognising how complex and often discouraging the search for love could be. This inspired him to co-found Select Personal Introductions, a premium dating and matchmaking agency that supports professionals, entrepreneurs, celebrities, and high-net-worth singles who value privacy, compatibility, and lasting connections. What started as a boutique service has since grown into a global enterprise built on trust, expertise and discretion. Alongside leading his team, Alex is an Accredited International Matchmaker and Science-based Relationship Coach. His approach combines empathy, strategy, and science, focusing not only on introductions but also on providing clients with the tools to nurture relationships once they have begun. Widely recognised as an authority on modern relationships, Alex is a trusted media expert whose insights have been featured on ITV, BBC, Fox News, TalkTV and national radio. His expertise has also been featured in leading publications, including The Sunday Times, Cosmopolitan, GQ, and The Independent. Beyond broadcast and press, he is a regular columnist for The Cheshire Magazine, a feature contributor for NationalWorld, and an Executive Contributor for Brainz Magazine, where he uses his platform to demystify dating and promote healthier, lasting relationships. Alex’s expertise has also garnered attention in the public eye, with notable work alongside personalities from The Real Housewives of Cheshire and appearances on At Home with The Nolans. In his role as Vice Chair of the UK’s dating industry governing body, he champions excellence in standards, helping to shape a transparent, ethical and professional future for the industry. Today, Alex Mellor-Brook is recognised as one of the country’s most trusted voices on love, relationships, and human connection. Whether he’s guiding a private client, writing for a national publication, or speaking on air, his philosophy remains constant: genuine relationships are built on trust, shared values, and the willingness to grow together.

Rae-Anne Cohen is a future-focused changemaker, emotional intelligence coach, and international speaker who helps people reconnect with their inner strength and lead from emotional honesty. During her academic journey, she faced trauma, self-doubt, and the weight of PTSD, depression and anxiety. Through that period, she learned to listen to her emotions rather than resist them, transforming feelings she once viewed as “negative” into fuel for growth, clarity, and purpose.   Now completing her PhD in Education at King’s College London, Rae-Anne explores the power of emotions and how they shape the way we connect, communicate, and show up in the world. Blending research with lived wisdom, she empowers others to embrace their emotional world as a source of insight, resilience, and self-trust.   Rae-Anne is guided by a simple truth: we are all masterpieces in progress. Through her coaching, speaking, and writing, she supports people in breaking internal narratives, building emotional confidence, and seeing themselves through a lens of possibility rather than limitation. She invites individuals and communities to view their inner challenges as catalysts for growth, self-honesty, and leadership. As a multilingual speaker passionate about human connection, Rae-Anne shares her voice across cultures and sectors, encouraging people to reclaim their emotional stories and move toward lives aligned with purpose and self-acceptance. Her work carries the message she learned firsthand: your emotions are not obstacles, they’re signals inviting you to grow, heal, and pay attention.
