I’m a clinical psychologist offering private therapy alongside my role as a senior psychologist in the NHS. I draw on personal and professional experience to offer guidance within a warm, non-judgemental space. I like to work together with my client, exploring their needs and preferences and then offering ideas informed by a range of psychological models. The models I draw on most are Schema Therapy and third-wave CBT therapies such as ACT and CFT. Often our work involves uncovering and strengthening resources that people already have or getting in touch with lost values.

I understand that seeking therapy and opening up to someone can feel overwhelming. With this in mind, I offer a highly confidential, safe and non-judgemental space in which you will be listened to carefully. Together we can start to explore what may be going on for you, both at a conscious and unconscious level, so that you can gain greater understanding of your experiences and feelings and move away from your current pain or confusion.

I am a qualified counsellor and trainee integrative psychotherapist working with adults, children and adolescents. As part of my training, I am completing adult clinical hours and offer a limited number of adult sessions at a concessionary rate.

Sometimes life can be overwhelming. We get anxious or depressed, struggle with low self-esteem or find ourselves repeating the same self-defeating patterns in our relationships. Therapy can help. Whether you're seeking relief from a specific problem or struggling with the vague sense that something in your life just isn't right, I offer a safe and non-judgemental space where we can work through these issues. I have a professional and specialist interest in working with attachment issues, complex trauma, and chronic health conditions often neglected by the healthcare system, such as ME/CFS.

The ways we think, relate, and cope are often developed for good reason earlier in life; the difficulty is that they don’t always translate well into adulthood. Strategies that once helped now get in the way. We often find ourselves repeating the same patterns that adversely impact our relationships, leaving us feeling disconnected from others and ourselves. Therapy is about making sense of that. Not just insight for its own sake, but awareness that leads to change. I can help you understand yourself and your relationship with the world around you, so you can be better equipped to face life’s challenges and gain emotional resilience

Hi, I'm Mary (she/her), I'm passionate about supporting people with anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and relationship issues. Is your mind constantly racing, worrying whether you said or did the right thing? Wondering if people like you? Did you make the right decision? Do you find yourself beating yourself up when you feel like you've got something wrong and find it hard to let go of things. Maybe you find it hard to stand up for yourself. Life can be so overwhelming sometimes we can feel like we don't want to be here. It's exhausting isn't it! I'm guessing you're here because you're fed up and want something to change. I can help you.

People often feel unsure about starting therapy and it can feel like a big decision to make. I would suggest a one-off consultation to meet. This will allow us time to think together about whether you would consider working with me and how I might be able to support you in making changes to improve your situation.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to shift, caught between feeling constantly “on edge” or emotionally shut down. Even if you understand your thoughts, things still don’t feel settled. Often, this isn’t just “in your mind”, it’s connected to how your nervous system has adapted to stress, trauma, and relationships over time. I’m a London-based therapist specialising in nervous system regulation and trauma-informed therapy, supporting people who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in recurring emotional patterns.

As an attachment-based psychoanalytic psychotherapist, I understand that taking the first step towards therapy is a significant step. Everyone needs a secure environment to express thoughts and feelings they might hesitate to share. I work to create a welcoming environment where you can explore past and present issues, become aware of unhelpful patterns that hold you back, and support your growth and change. I offer confidential therapy sessions both in-person at my conveniently located Highbury, Islington practice and online. Being bilingual, I offer sessions in both English and French.

Hello and welcome, I believe that it's vital to get the right support when life isn't going so well. I also believe that all of us carry pain within and occasionally find ourselves in dark woods. Therefore, we shouldn’t feel any shame or judgment in discussing our life experiences. My journey to becoming a therapist began as a direct result of my personal therapy and how beneficial and life-changing it was for me. I am convinced that the most important factor in therapy is the trusting therapeutic relationship. Therefore I offer compassion and a non-judgemental attitude as a starting point to meet each other.

Many of the issues we face in life can be hard to deal with alone. With help, thinking about who we are, what we want and what is wanted from us we can identify and address problematic areas in our relationships with ourselves, with others and with the world of work and love, overcoming obstacles and reducing our suffering. I offer a safe and secure space in which to articulate whatever may be playing on your mind. The way I practice is non-directive, meaning that you decide what you want to talk about and when so can explore what may be troubling you at your own pace, either in person in east London or remote.

I work with clients facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, OCD, phobias, eating difficulties, body dysmorphia, trauma, health-related concerns, bereavement, relationship difficulties and more.
When we first meet, I want it to feel like a space where we can genuinely get to know each other. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is a priority for me, as I believe this foundation is key to creating a safe, trusting environment where you feel heard and understood. My goal is for you to feel comfortable and supported from the outset, knowing that you can express yourself openly without judgement. Together, we’ll set clear, achievable therapeutic goals, and we’ll revisit them as we move forward, adjusting along the way to ensure that we’re always working towards what matters most to you.
