Do you spend a lot of time in your head — analysing, second-guessing yourself, or trying to get things right? This kind of anxiety can be exhausting, even when you appear to be coping well on the outside. Many people experience this in different ways, including those who are neurodivergent. Therapy can offer space to slow things down and feel more at ease in everyday life.

I offer calm, practical counselling for adults in Tottenham (N17) and online across the UK. Sessions are a place to talk things through, make sense of what is happening for you, and understand why certain thoughts or reactions keep showing up — particularly during times of anxiety, stress, pressure, or change.

You may be thoughtful, capable, and used to pushing yourself. You might hold high standards, compare yourself to others, or worry about how you come across. Over time, this can lead to anxiety, low mood, ongoing tension, or difficulties in relationships — such as feeling reactive, withdrawn, or unsure how to say what you need.

In therapy, we focus on what is happening in your day-to-day life. We look at the thoughts that keep looping, the situations that trigger anxiety or self-doubt, and how you tend to respond when things feel overwhelming. Together, we explore practical ways to ease self-pressure, step back from unhelpful thinking, and respond to situations with more clarity and confidence.

I am a qualified Humanistic Integrative Counsellor and a registered member of the BACP, working within their ethical framework to offer safe, confidential support. I also work in a neurodiversity-affirming way and welcome ADHD, autism, and other neurodivergent experiences, as well as people who do not identify as neurodivergent.

If you are unsure whether counselling is right for you, you are welcome to start with a free 15-minute video call. It is a chance to ask questions and see whether working together feels like a good fit.

How therapy with me can help

Understand what gets in the way of living a calmer, happier, and more balanced life — and find more workable ways to handle everyday challenges.

Working together, therapy can help you to:

  • Make sense of why you react the way you do, especially in situations that trigger anxiety, self-doubt, or pressure

  • Handle challenges more calmly, rather than feeling overwhelmed or stuck in your head

  • Feel more at ease in your relationships, with clearer boundaries and less worry about getting things wrong

  • Be less driven by guilt or self-criticism, and more able to speak to yourself with kindness

  • Notice and manage your emotions more easily, without feeling taken over by them

  • Feel clearer about who you are and what you need, so you can make choices that feel right for you
