Who this helps

When the past still feels close

For adults in Enfield and north London looking for EMDR or trauma therapy with a counselling psychologist who is local, unhurried, and clear about how the work will go.

  • Flashbacks, nightmares, or intrusive images that keep coming back

  • Childhood or relational trauma that still shapes relationships and self-worth

EMDR and trauma therapy, serving Enfield and north London

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) helps the brain process memories that have stayed stuck, so they can feel more like the past and less like the present. It is a recognised therapy for PTSD and is often helpful for other trauma-related difficulties too.

I am an HCPC Registered Counselling Psychologist, UKCP Accredited Integrative Psychotherapist, and EMDR Europe-accredited practitioner, based in Enfield. Sessions are usually online by secure video; if meeting in person feels important to you, mention it when you enquire and we can talk it through. We settle first, agree how the work will go — including how bilateral stimulation will work on screen — and only move into processing when it feels safe enough.
