Individuals: I help clients make significant changes. You will work through issues and events that are keeping them stuck and discover more about yourself. Mostly we will engage in weekly talk therapy; but you might draw, write, or do exercises that explore different parts of you, your family, or specific life events. For couples, it could be broken trust, poor communication, or chronic arguing that brings you here. I create a setting where you can truly hear each other, not just to the words but what is underneath. I offer insights so the two of you can reach across the divide and move forward as a couple, or separately.

I offer face to face and zoom sessions.
I understand that we all come from different backgrounds, we are all individuals and sometimes we need some help. I do a lot of work with clients with ADHD , anxiety, attachment issues and OCD. I work closely with clients who have gone through trauma, abuse and who have relationship difficulties. I try to offer a free 20 minute chat, so you can get to see if I am the type of counsellor you would like to work with. I would like to add I have had lived experience as a client in counselling. I had suffered with anxiety, low self esteem, relationships issues and more. I enjoy helping others become the best version of themselves.

I offer therapy sessions in person/online (Zoom/Skype/Teams).
Hi, my name is Mary and I am a registered Music Psychotherapist and qualified Neurologic Music Therapist working across London. Therapy shouldn’t feel like a one-size-fits-all lecture. That’s why I blend psychotherapy with creative, neuroscience-backed tools like Neurologic Music Therapy (NMT)—a powerful way to engage the brain’s natural capacity for healing, especially when words aren’t enough. Whether you’re seeking traditional talk therapy or a more experiential approach, we’ll work together to untangle the roots of your challenges and build a path forward. You don’t have to do this alone. Let’s start the conversation.

Are you feeling anxious, low in confidence, or simply stuck—like something in life just isn’t quite right? Perhaps you’re caught in the same patterns of thinking or behaviour, even though you long for change. Maybe you’re struggling with low self-esteem, persistent negative thoughts, or a sense of overwhelm that’s hard to shift. I can help. Counselling offers a unique opportunity to explore your inner world in a space that’s safe & confidential. Being truly heard by someone who is present, empathic, and impartial can be deeply transformative—offering new perspectives, greater clarity, and a connection to our inner strengths

Stuck, confused, overwhelmed, anxious or depressed? Struggling with a relationship, bereavement, job loss, parenthood, or parents? Perhaps you don’t know your exact problem, only that something isn’t right. My role is to help clients explore their issues, gain insight, clarity and understanding, then support them as they move towards change. Working together, we explore where they are now, how they got there, where they’d prefer to be, and how they might do things differently.

Every client is unique, so my work with you involves an exploration and understanding of your life and experience from birth to present, including unconscious processes and dreams. I seek to understand thought patterns, fears, obstacles and unhelpful perceptions that stand in the way of love and success. You are encouraged to talk about and understand your feelings, and to learn to distinguish between truth and fear.

I offer therapy sessions in-person in comfortable armchairs, online using Zoom or by phone to suit you.
Life, work, relationships - they weren't meant to feel this hard! Are you constantly overthinking, 'Sunday dread' but EVERYday, on edge, 'people pleasing', procrastinating or just not feeling 'good enough'...? Social anxiety makes relationships feel hard. You want to stop feeling like this. You have a hunch your childhood was complicated and your relationships with family members need boundaries, but you feel anxious and guilty too! Therapy with EMDR can help. You'll feel better about yourself, your relationships, less stuck in your head and freer to move on from difficult experiences. I work with clients who have ADHD too.

I am offering face-to-face sessions on Thursdays and Fridays in North London.
I offer a safe and non-judgemental space for you to explore difficult and even traumatic events in your life. A place to process sudden changes in your life, or a place to grieve. A place to discover the patterns that you might have developed over time as a way to try protect yourself, and a place that facilitates change to get you closer to your true self, where you will be able to find harmony between what you think, feel and do. A place to explore your feelings and find a way of being that works for you, which might help to relieve symptoms of depression, anxiety, and feelings of anger and fear.

I offer face to face therapy in Highgate and Tuffnel Park, North London and online.
It can be daunting to approach a therapist about personal problems in your relationships or the fact that you aren't in one or find it hard to sustain one.    Speaking about your concerns with an experienced and empathetic listener can disempower the anxiety so the work of recovery can begin.  I specialise in relationship and sexual problems and have enjoyed working in the NHS and privately over many years. I work with communication problems, disability, chronic illness, cultural and religious differences, infertility, depression, bereavement, sexual dysfunction, perimenopause among many other concerns that affect relationships.

I offer in-person and remote sessions - working most weekday afternoon/evenings.
I’m a trauma-trained integrative therapist specialising in individual & couples therapy. I foster a therapeutic relationship characterised by honesty, empathy, compassion & candor. My focus is to help you understand how you fit into your environment. The connections I build with clients are essential for creating a safe space where you can openly discuss your concerns. I understand that building this trust can take time, and that’s perfectly okay. You determine the pace of therapy and the goals we work towards. This is an opportunity for you to explore and reflect on your experiences and identify the changes you wish to achieve.

Everyone has times when things aren't going the way we might like. We can find ourselves anywhere from, a bit grey and unhappy, to, extremely dark and depressed, overwhelmed, stressed and spun out. Talking to someone can help. I work with individuals and couples and have a comfortable, safe and confidential practice in Dartmouth Park, North West London in between Tufnell Park and Archway N19 and work online from home in NW6. I take genuine interest in my clients, like to engage openly and talk in a straightforward way, developing a strong working relationship, showing empathy and building trust. I am also a counsellor at UCL.

I am an experienced Psychotherapist offering individual, couples and family therapy, in Highgate Barnet & Finchley.Alongside my private practice,I have been working for Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation as a senior clinician and lecturer. I see psychotherapy is an opportunity to build understanding of the experiences we have had throughout our lives that contributed to the current narratives we hold about ourselves. These narratives not only can get in the way of personal growth and relationships, it can also impact our mental health in various ways and in turn lead to unhelpful patterns of behaviours and a sense of being stuck.

I offer therapy online via Zoom and in person from my home, I have recently started to offer sessions on Saturdays and Sundays
Choosing the right therapist can feel like a daunting task. You may be wondering, "How do I choose a therapist?" or "How will I know if you’re the right fit for me?" These are important questions, and I understand how challenging it can be to find the right support. That’s why I aim to ensure we’re a good match before moving forward. I begin with a complimentary initial phone conversation, which allows us to get acquainted and break the ice. If the connection feels right for both of us, we can then schedule an initial session.
