Therapy 

Support that is tailored to you

People come to therapy for many different reasons.

​

You may be struggling with anxiety or panic, feeling overwhelmed by stress, finding it difficult to recover from a traumatic experience, or simply feeling that something in your life needs to change.

​

Sometimes you know exactly what is causing the difficulty. At other times, you may just know that you don't feel like yourself and aren't quite sure why.

​

Whatever has brought you here, therapy offers a confidential space to understand what is happening and begin to find a way forward.

Anxiety & Panic Attacks

Anxiety can show up in many ways, from persistent worry and overthinking to physical symptoms, avoidance or panic attacks.

​

Therapy can help you understand what is driving your anxiety, learn ways to manage the response when it happens and begin to feel calmer and more in control.

Stress & Burnout

When pressure continues without enough opportunity to recover, it can begin to affect your mood, sleep, concentration, relationships and physical wellbeing.

 

I work with busy professionals who are managing significant demands and responsibilities, helping them understand their stress and develop practical ways to create lasting change.

Trauma and EMDR

Experiences from the past can continue to affect how we think, feel and respond in the present.

​

I offer trauma-informed therapy, including EMDR where appropriate, to help you safely explore and process difficult experiences and reduce the impact they are having on your life now.

Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy can help with a range of difficulties, including anxiety, fears and phobias, unwanted habits and some stress-related problems.

During hypnosis, you remain aware and in control.

Therapy in Finchley and online

I offer face-to-face therapy from my practice in Finchley, North London, as well as online sessions.

​

Whether you are looking for psychotherapy, counselling, EMDR or hypnotherapy, we can talk about what you are experiencing and consider which approach may be most appropriate for you.

Taking the next step

​

Finding the right therapist is important, and it is completely reasonable to have questions before deciding whether you would like to begin.

If you would like to find out more, you are welcome to get in touch. We can have an initial conversation about what has brought you to therapy, what you are hoping to change and whether working together feels right for you.
