Do you spend a lot of time in your head — analysing, second-guessing yourself, or worrying about what others think?

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 flat or disconnected — as though you are functioning on the outside but not fully present in yourself.

Therapy offers space to slow things down, make sense of your experiences, and understand where certain reactions may have developed. From there, we can begin to find a steadier sense of balance.

I work in a neurodiversity-affirming way and welcome ADHD, autism and other neurodivergent experiences, as well as those who do not identify as neurodivergent.

Single-Session Counselling

Not everyone wants long-term therapy. Sometimes you just need space to think clearly about something specific.

I offer single 50-minute online sessions (£65). Some people find one session is enough; others choose to continue if they feel they would benefit from further support. You can take it at your own pace.

If you would like more sessions, we can meet weekly or fortnightly in Tottenham (N17) or online.

Ongoing Therapy

If you would like to work more deeply, ongoing sessions give us the space to explore things over time.

You might notice the same worries coming up again and again. You might struggle to switch off, feel pulled between what you need and what others expect, or find certain situations trigger a familiar rush of self-doubt.

In ongoing therapy, we take time to understand where these reactions come from and how they have developed. We notice what happens in your relationships, how you speak to yourself, and what tends to knock you off balance.

With space and consistency, it often becomes easier to respond differently — with more clarity, steadiness and self-trust.

We can meet weekly or fortnightly in Tottenham (N17) or online.

I am a qualified Humanistic Integrative Counsellor and registered member of the BACP, working within their ethical framework to provide safe, confidential support.

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.
