Anxiety Counselling in North London
Maybe it's anxiety, low self-esteem, difficult relationships, or the weight of past experiences that still affect the present.
I am a Chartered Psychologist with over 14 years of clinical experience. I integrate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and I use EMDR for trauma and painful memories. Together we build a plan that fits you, with practical tools you can use between sessions.

You may be struggling with anxiety or low mood, navigating loss or relationship difficulties, or noticing unhelpful long-standing patterns that keep resurfacing.
As an integrative therapist, I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches and tailor the work carefully to each client. This allows us to focus on immediate concerns such as anxiety, panic attacks, depression, stress, physical health issues or sleep difficulties, while also exploring deeper emotional patterns, relational dynamics and self-beliefs.

I work with adults facing a wide range of challenges, from anxiety, depression, low self‑esteem, relationship difficulties, bereavement and loss, life transitions, and experiences that feel confusing or overwhelming.
Life can feel overwhelming at times, and it isn’t always easy to understand why we feel the way we do. My aim is to create a calm and supportive environment where you can explore whatever is troubling you, without judgement.

Everyone can go through a challenging time and we all do it in our own way. You might find it challenging or relieving to talk to a professional and either could work. My sessions offer a safe and non-judgemental space to explore how we both can work together so you can get the most benefit from the therapy. I believe every person deals with their situations differently and therefore I apply an integrative approach to suit your needs. Some of the various approaches I use are Person Centred, EMDR, CBT, Gestalt, Psychodynamic and more.

Circumstances and the people around us can mean we go off track, resulting in anxiety, low mood or other difficult emotions.
Therapy gives you the space to work out or simply remember what you want, what options you have to get it - and what gets in the way. We would work together to identify what you need and what changes are required to get closer to this. I believe clear advice can be helpful, drawing on experience and on psychological theory and research, but however we work it must make sense to you and be your choice. Above all, I see us as an alliance of equals with different insights and strengths. This collaboration is at the heart of successful therapy.

Therapy is a space for you: to feel understood and listened to. Perhaps for the first time. And it is through this fundamental encounter that you can feel more able and alive.

It can support you in these - and more - through creating new awareness, making helpful connections and finding a way forward. Therapy provides a way for you to understand, confront, resolve, heal and grow. I provide a safe, welcoming space for you to explore whatever it is that you need and want.

Anxiety Counsellors
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
What are the most common types of treatment for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioural therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
