About us
I'm Marteka, a qualified therapist with over 20 years of experience helping individuals navigate their mental health journeys.
I began my career in 2001, working in drug rehabilitation and prisons, where I delivered Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) relapse prevention programmes for 10 years. Following that, I spent 7 years in a community mental health team within one of the UK's busiest NHS settings, providing support to patients dealing with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, hoarding, PTSD, and complex trauma across Central & North West London.
In 2016, I started my private practice with a focus on eating disorders, primarily conducting assessments and reports for a private bariatric clinic. Over the last 7 years, my focus has expanded to working with individuals dealing with complex trauma, particularly within corporate settings.
Many of my clients are neurodiverse or women of colour, and I provide a safe, supportive space tailored to their unique experiences.
If you are experiencing persistent or ongoing trauma, reliving traumatic events as if they are happening again, or facing severe emotional distress—including intense anxiety or panic attacks—I am here to help.
I believe in a collaborative approach to therapy and work closely with a network of other skilled therapists. If I’m not the right fit for your needs, I can provide a thorough assessment and connect you with someone who might be a better match for your specific needs.
If you think we could work well together, or if you’re simply looking for guidance on the next steps in your healing journey, I would love to hear from you.
