Who this helps
For adults in Enfield and London, and online by video across the UK, who want careful, paced trauma therapy when the past still presses into everyday life.
Many people arrive feeling stuck with memories, a body that will not settle, or patterns that keep repeating long after the danger has passed. Trauma therapy with me is collaborative and unhurried: we make sense of what has happened, reduce the hold of distressing experiences, and build steadier ways of relating to yourself and others.

Where we meet →Approaches
For many people seeking PTSD therapy online in the UK, EMDR is an evidence-based option when traumatic memories keep looping — supporting paced, effective trauma work when that approach fits. Others need a broader integrative frame — relational, paced psychotherapy that also draws on DIT, CFT or DBT skills where helpful. We choose together after getting to know what you hope for.
A first session is a gentle getting-to-know-you. There is no pressure to tell everything at once. Settling and safety come before deeper processing, and you are never rushed into material you are not ready for.
