Counselling in Tottenham (N17) and Online
for anxiety, overthinking, and self-pressure
Do you spend a lot of time in your head — analysing, second-guessing yourself, or worrying about what others might think of you? It can take up a lot of energy, even when you are getting on with things day to day. Over time, life can start to feel a bit flat or disconnected, as though you are functioning on the outside but not fully present in yourself or with other people.
Therapy can offer space to slow things down and feel more at ease in everyday life.
Single-session counselling
Not everyone wants or needs long-term therapy. Sometimes life just feels a bit flat, stuck, or hard to make sense of — and it helps to talk things through with someone neutral and supportive.
I offer one-off 50-minute sessions for £65, with no commitment to ongoing work. Many people come for a single session; others decide to book more later. You can take it one step at a time.
If you would prefer ongoing support, we can also meet weekly or fortnightly.
Do you hold yourself to high standards, compare yourself to others, or feel responsible for other people’s feelings? You might be thoughtful and capable, yet still feel anxious, low in confidence, or unsure how to say what you need. Over time, this can lead to tension, self-doubt, or difficulties in relationships.
In therapy, we focus on what is happening in your day-to-day life. We look at the thoughts that keep looping, the situations that trigger anxiety or self-pressure, and how you tend to respond when things feel overwhelming. Together, we explore practical ways to ease that pressure, step back from unhelpful patterns, and respond with more clarity and confidence.
I am a qualified Humanistic Integrative Counsellor and a registered member of the BACP, working within their ethical framework to offer safe, confidential support. I also work in a neurodiversity-affirming way and welcome ADHD, autism, and other neurodivergent experiences, as well as people who do not identify as neurodivergent.
If you are unsure where to start, you are welcome to book a free 15-minute video call. It is simply a chance to ask questions and see whether working together feels like a good fit.
How therapy with me can help
Understand what gets in the way of living a calmer, happier, and more balanced life — and find more workable ways to handle everyday challenges.
Working together, therapy can help you to:
Make sense of why you react the way you do, especially in situations that trigger anxiety, self-doubt, or pressure
Handle challenges more calmly, rather than feeling overwhelmed or stuck in your head
Feel more at ease in your relationships, with clearer boundaries and less worry about getting things wrong
Be less driven by guilt or self-criticism, and more able to speak to yourself with kindness
Notice and manage your emotions more easily, without feeling taken over by them
Feel clearer about who you are and what you need, so you can make choices that feel right for you

Get in touch
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, so I offer a free 15-minute video call. It is a chance to ask questions, outline what you are looking for, and get a sense of how I work.
If you would prefer to begin more quickly, you are also welcome to book a one-off online session (£65) with no commitment to ongoing therapy.
There is no obligation either way — it is simply about finding a starting point that feels comfortable for you.
