The Personal Growth and Development Centre provides professional psychotherapy and counselling services in Harley Street London and online worldwide, supporting individuals and high-achieving professionals.
We are PGDC — The Personal Growth and Development Centre — founded in 2012 by psychotherapist, clinical supervisor and author Kate Megase.
From rooms on Harley Street and in Croydon, and through secure online sessions across the UK and worldwide, we help couples and individuals move from feeling stuck to feeling connected again. We’re known for warm, inclusive, culturally sensitive care — the kind of therapy where you feel understood from the first conversation, not assessed.
Most couples don’t come to us in crisis. They come because something has quietly drifted — the conversations have turned into logistics, the same argument keeps circling back, or one of you feels unseen. That’s the work we love most.
We specialise in helping couples rebuild trust, break the conflict cycles that wear a relationship down, and reconnect emotionally — including the high-achieving, busy professionals who give everything to their careers and worry there’s nothing left for each other. Therapy here isn’t an open-ended talking shop. It’s focused, practical work toward a relationship you actually want to come home to.
This is where PGDC is genuinely different. ADHD shapes relationships in ways that are easy to misread — the forgetfulness that feels like not caring, the rejection sensitivity that turns a small comment into a rupture, the nag-and-withdraw cycle that leaves both partners exhausted and alone.
We understand that pattern, and we work with it directly. If you and your partner are navigating ADHD or neurodiversity together, you don’t have to keep explaining yourselves here. We already get it.
Kate’s work — and her book, Dump the Baggage — is built on a simple idea: you can’t change what you don’t know. So much of what strains a relationship begins with how we feel about ourselves. Low self-esteem, old patterns, the baggage we carry without realising it.
We help you put it down — as an individual, and as a couple — so you can grow, heal and build the relationships you want.

Kate Megase, founder of PGDC, is the published author of Dump the Baggage: A Therapist’s Guide to Building Self-Esteem and Positive Relationships. Practical tools and compassionate guidance to help you release what’s holding you back wherever you are in your journey.
We offer specialist, high-quality therapy designed to help individuals and couples create lasting change.

Whether you’re seeking couples therapy, individual support, or specialist help with ADHD, PGDC offers a space to grow, heal and thrive at your pace, on your terms.
Yes counselling helps manage overwhelm, emotional regulation, routines, and self-esteem.
An assessment is a clinical process that leads to a diagnosis. Therapy and coaching, which is what we offer, focus on helping you live well with ADHD emotionally, practically and relationally. We don’t carry out diagnostic assessments, but we can support you alongside one.
Absolutely. Many of our clients came to their ADHD diagnosis as adults, and a large part of our work is helping people make sense of the past through that new lens with self-compassion rather than blame.
Counselling offers a confidential space where you can talk through your problems or difficulties and be heard without judgement.
Counsellors don’t give direct advice, but we help you find your own answers and develop strategies to manage your concerns.
