Therapy Services

An integrative, evidence-based approach tailored entirely to you

I work one-to-one with individuals to offer a deeply personalised form of therapy. I will formulate a treatment plan that draws on the most appropriate methods for your unique needs — there is no one-size-fits-all approach here.

01 EMDR Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing is a highly effective, evidence-based approach to treating anxiety, PTSD, and trauma. Using bilateral stimulation — typically side-to-side eye movements — EMDR helps the brain reprocess distressing memories so they no longer feel emotionally overwhelming. It is thought to mimic the brain’s natural processing during REM sleep. Unhelpful beliefs such as “I am not safe” or “It was my fault” can begin to shift, and your relationship with those memories becomes less distressing over time. EMDR does not erase what happened; it helps you relate to it in a more adaptive way.

02 Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

DBT involves the development of mindfulness, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and emotion regulation by identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns. It is particularly well-suited for those experiencing emotional dysregulation, self-destructive behaviours, or difficulties in relationships. DBT skills can support greater self-esteem, improved mood, and stronger connection to others.

03 Psychodynamic Therapy

Drawing on an understanding of how past experiences — particularly early relational patterns — shape present-day thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Psychodynamic work helps you gain insight into unconscious processes and the ways in which your history may be influencing your current struggles, relationships, and sense of self.

04 Gestalt Therapy

Gestalt focuses on present-moment awareness and the connection between thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations. It encourages greater self-awareness, personal responsibility, and authentic engagement with your experience. This approach is particularly useful for those who feel disconnected from themselves or who want to develop a more grounded sense of identity.

05 Addiction & Substance Use

With over two decades of specialist experience across NHS, forensic, and rehabilitation settings, I offer deeply compassionate and non-judgmental support for those struggling with behavioural and substance addictions. Treatment is tailored to your individual circumstances and may draw on a combination of the therapeutic approaches listed here.

06 Corporate & Executive Mental Health

I have extensive experience supporting highly functioning individuals in the corporate sector — including those experiencing burnout, interpersonal conflict, performance anxiety, and leadership pressures. Sessions can be held in-person at my North London practice or online, offering flexibility around demanding schedules.

07 Online Therapy

Online sessions are available via a secure, confidential platform and are as effective as in-person therapy for most presenting issues. This option is particularly suitable for those with busy schedules, those who travel frequently, or those who simply prefer the comfort and privacy of their own space.
