Stepping Stones Psychotherapy
Trauma-informed therapy for stress, anxiety and recovery
Welcome to Stepping Stones
Psychotherapy, EMDR and hypnotherapy for anxiety, stress and trauma
I help busy professionals regain a sense of calm, confidence and control in their lives.
Taking the step to seek therapy can feel daunting, especially if you are used to coping, managing and pushing through.
Maybe you look like you are functioning well on the outside, but inside you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious or exhausted.
At Stepping Stones Psychotherapy, I offer a calm, supportive and professional space where you can slow things down, make sense of what is happening for you, and begin to feel more settled and in control again.
You might be here because…
You may recognise yourself in some of the following:
-
Anxiety, stress or panic feel like a constant presence in your life
-
You struggle to switch off, relax or sleep well
-
You feel on edge, irritable or easily overwhelmed
-
Past experiences continue to affect how you feel, think or respond
-
Your confidence or self‑esteem has been affected
-
You are coping, but it takes a huge amount of energy
These experiences are more common than many people realise, particularly when life has involved prolonged stress, pressure or difficult experiences.
Therapy can help you understand what is happening and find more effective, compassionate ways to support yourself.
What can I help with?
I commonly support people with
-
Sleep difficulties and insomnia
-
Work‑related stress and pressure
-
Phobias and persistent fears
If you are unsure whether therapy is right for you or your situation, a brief consultation can help you decide.
Support for anxiety and panic attacks
If anxiety, overthinking or panic is beginning to affect your work, sleep, relationships or everyday life, therapy can help you understand what is happening and find ways to feel calmer and more in control.
I offer an integrative approach to anxiety, which may include psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, EMDR and practical techniques, depending on your individual needs.
How I work
When we first meet, we will spend some time talking about what is causing you difficulties, how this is affecting you and what you would like to change.
Together, we can then decide what approach may be most helpful for you.
I use an integrative approach, incorporating EMDR, psychotherapeutic counselling, hypnotherapy, and mindfulness.
This allows me to tailor therapy to your individual needs, rather than following a one‑size‑fits‑all model.
Sessions are available:
-
Online via Zoom, allowing you to attend from the comfort of your own home
-
Face‑to‑face at my comfortable Finchley Central location
-
Evening appointments are available to fit around your work and family commitments
Online therapy is just as effective as in‑person sessions and offers flexibility for busy professionals.
Taking the next step
Reaching out for support can feel like a big step.
I offer a free 15‑minute telephone consultation to give you the opportunity to ask questions, talk briefly about what you are experiencing, and see whether working together feels right for you.
