About me
You may feel stuck in repeating relationship patterns, find it hard to set boundaries, or notice anxiety, self-criticism, or emotional overwhelm that feels hard to shift. Often, these patterns have roots in earlier relational experiences.
I am a trauma-informed psychotherapeutic counsellor (based in Enfield, EN1), specialising in childhood trauma, relational trauma, family issues, narcissistic abuse recovery, and Complex PTSD (CPTSD). I offer trauma counselling for adults who feel stuck in repeating relationship patterns, struggle with boundaries, or experience anxiety, self-criticism, or emotional overwhelm linked to earlier experiences.
I particularly support clients experiencing:
- Childhood trauma and attachment wounds
- Narcissistic or emotionally abusive relationships
- Relational trauma and repeating patterns
- Complex PTSD (CPTSD) and emotional regulation difficulties
I have a particular interest in working with relational trauma and narcissistic abuse recovery.
Many of my clients experience:
- Anxiety or feeling 'on edge' and like they are 'walking on eggshells in relationships'
- People-pleasing or over-functioning
- Emotional overwhelm
- Perfectionism
- Difficulty trusting others
- Persistent self-criticism
You may notice patterns such as overthinking, self-abandonment, difficulty setting boundaries, or feeling stuck in relationships that echo earlier experiences. At times, you may feel unsure of your own needs or question your reactions, even when something doesn’t feel right.
Clients often describe me as warm, grounded, and intuitive. At the heart of my work is a relational approach, grounded in the belief that meaningful change develops within a safe, trusting, and supportive therapeutic relationship. My practice is trauma-informed and draws on humanistic, psychodynamic, and relational models, allowing therapy to be tailored to your individual needs and goals.
Therapy with me is a collaborative process. Together, we gently identify core issues and make sense of repeating relational or behavioural patterns, exploring how past experiences may be influencing the present. The aim is to develop greater clarity, emotional awareness, and self-understanding, supporting lasting change and healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.
I also offer Single-Session Therapy — a focused, one-off 90-minute session designed to help you gain clarity, explore patterns, and identify meaningful next steps. You do not need to commit to ongoing therapy to benefit; sometimes a single, focused conversation can create meaningful clarity or movement forward. This can be particularly helpful if you are feeling stuck, facing a specific challenge, or want space to explore something important right now.
I work with clients across North London and Hertfordshire, both online and in person. My consulting room is based in Bush Hill Park, Enfield (EN1).
Beginning therapy can feel like a significant step, particularly if reaching out for support feels unfamiliar. I offer a complimentary 30-minute consultation to gently explore what brings you to therapy and whether working together feels like the right fit.
If you are looking for trauma-informed counselling or a focused single-session therapy consultation, you are welcome to get in touch to arrange a complimentary 30-minute consultation and see whether working together feels like the right fit.

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.
