Your history is yours. We ask for the least we need and guard it like it's our own.
About the practice
It started on one street, with one stubborn idea.
That nobody should have to fix their feelings in one building and fight for their rights in another. Wexford Commons keeps both under the same roof - and treats them as one piece of work.
Our story
Named for the lane we opened on.
In 2015, a counsellor and a benefits advocate rented two adjoining rooms at 14 Wexford Lane. They kept sending each other the same people - clients who were anxious because the system was hostile, and worn down by the system because they were anxious. The wall between the rooms started to feel absurd.
So they took it down. Wexford Commons is what grew in that combined room: a practice where emotional resilience, practical access, and the training of new practitioners aren't three departments - they're one continuous thread. We stayed small on purpose. You will always know the name of the person you're working with.
What we hold to
Four commitments we won't trade away.
Plain language
No clinical fog, no bureaucratic riddles. If we can't explain it simply, we keep working until we can.
Your pace
We never rush a decision that's yours to make. Steady beats fast, every time.
Whole picture
Feelings and forms, inner and outer. We refuse to treat half a person.
The people
A small team you'll actually get to know.
Esme Caldicott
Founder · Resilience lead
A counsellor of two decades, Esme built the resilience side of the practice around one belief: emotion is a skill, and skills can be taught at any age.
Nikhil Varma
Co-founder · Access & benefits
Nikhil spent years inside the benefits system before deciding it was easier to help people through it from the outside. He maps the maze so you don't have to.
Talia Brennan
Head of practitioner training
Talia runs our accredited courses as apprenticeships, not lectures - small cohorts, real supervision, and feedback that actually lands.
