Female Counsellors in East Finchley
We come to therapy for all sorts of different reasons. Perhaps the most important thing to say is that there is no single, “right” reason. You might come to therapy because things have happened to you, such as a death, a divorce or a loss of something else, like a job. Or perhaps you have specific symptoms or feelings of depression, anxiety, stress, anger, low self-esteem or a lack of confidence. Or you may be experiencing issues in relationships, with people or with other things, e.g. food. Or it may be the case that you can’t pinpoint what’s wrong, things just don’t feel right and life simply isn’t going the way you expected.

Sometimes life's challenges, difficult relationships or the pressures of work or home can leave you feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted or like you’ve lost sight of who you are. I support my clients by building a trusting relationship where they feel safe to explore themselves, their experiences and their relationships at a deeper level.
I help clients make sense of what they’re experiencing and begin to move towards greater clarity, self-understanding and self-acceptance. Together, we'll work at a pace that feels right for you, exploring what's keeping you stuck and finding ways to bring greater balance to your life.

If you've ever felt like you think and feel at a slightly different frequency to most people around you, like too much, too sensitive, too in your head this might be the right place.
I work with people who are creative, curious, and often psychologically self-aware. People who feel things deeply. Who've probably already read a lot, thought a lot, and still find themselves stuck in patterns they can't quite shift from the outside. People drawn to understanding themselves - not just managing symptoms, but making genuine sense of who they are and why.

Whether you're facing a major life change, grieving a loss, processing past trauma, or struggling with difficult relationship dynamics, I’m here to walk alongside you. Trauma can leave us feeling disconnected- from ourselves, others and our sense of direction. It can make the world and even our own bodies feel unsafe. Together, we can work to gently rebuild that connection, helping you move toward greater self-understanding, safety and purpose.
I also support couples to navigate conflict, affairs, life transitions and disconnection in order to create more positive patterns in their relationship.

You are not feeling right. Maybe you are going through a difficult loss or a challenging life transition. Maybe you are back in a familiar painful place, repeating unhelpful patterns. You feel stuck, not knowing where to turn. Maybe your every day is a struggle. I offer a safe and confidential space, where you can be heard.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, unseen, or at a crossroad in life. Many of my clients are driven, thoughtful, and deeply committed to what they do, but are quietly navigating exhaustion, self-doubt and loneliness, feeling things need to change.
At times it’s difficult to identify when repeated patterns that don’t seem to be working anymore could be related to difficult experiences from childhood and how they can still quietly shape how you feel about yourself and others.
I work with many people who are in life transitions and needing support to adapt or find different ways with more clarity, including moving to a different country.

Are you high-functioning on the outside but internally exhausted?
You manage work, family and expectations, yet feel constantly on edge, overthinking, emotionally reactive or close to shutting down. You appear capable, but your nervous system rarely feels calm.

Through structured, somatic, evidence-based therapy, I help you regulate your system, reduce overwhelm and build steady, lasting emotional resilience.

I am a chartered psychologist drawing on eastern philosophies, compassion focused practices and evidence based psychology to help clients fully understand experiences, to create dialogue and compassion for all the different emotions, thoughts, behaviours, impulses experienced. Living as a human can be confusing, complex and lonely and through my work I help clients to create more clarity and to develop ways of offering kindness to painful experience. I draw on talking, role plays, meditations, visualisations and other practices that might help get to know experiences in more depth.
