About me
Therapy in North London (N5) for anxiety, trauma and overall improvement of confidence and self-esteem.
I'm here to help improve your self confidence & self esteem and begin to reduce anxiety or the weight of past experiences.
You don’t have to carry it alone.
I'm based in N5, North London, I offer a warm, confidential space—either face-to-face or online—where you can explore your feelings at your own pace, without judgement and begin to build more confidence.
Over many years of practice, I’ve seen how early experiences—like emotionally distant/over focused parents, inconsistent care, or taking on too much responsibility too young—can shape the way we see ourselves and relate to others. For some, these experiences sit alongside more overt trauma or PTSD. The impact often shows up as anxiety, depression, low self-confidence, or difficulties in relationships and family issues.
I specialise in helping people work through trauma, PTSD, family issues, relationships; be that at home, with friends or work and improve self-esteem using a combination of approaches:
- EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), including Attachment-Focused EMDR
- Internal Family Systems (IFS)
- Relational psychotherapy
EMDR is a gentle yet powerful way to process traumatic memories and reduce their distressing effects. It’s widely recognised as an effective treatment for trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and long-standing patterns. IFS helps us understand and heal the different parts of yourself, while relational therapy explores how your early experiences shape your relationships today.
Together, we can address:
- Childhood trauma and its lasting effects
- Emotional, physical, or sexual abuse
- Chronic anxiety, panic, or that constant sense of being on edge
- Low self-esteem and that harsh inner critic
- Family issues and relationship difficulties
I’ve been a psychotherapist for nearly twenty years, working in hospitals, GP practices, and private practice in North London (N5). I understand that coming to therapy—especially for anxiety, low self-esteem, or the impact of past experiences—can feel like a big step. That’s why I offer a safe, supportive space where we can work at your pace.
I trained in EMDR in 2015 and later specialised in Attachment-Focused EMDR. More recently, in 2025, I integrated IFS into my work. These approaches allow for safe, structured processing of psychological wounds for better confidence and self esteem.
If you’re ready to explore how therapy could help, I’d be happy to hear from you. Face-to-face sessions in N5, North London, or online.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
