Psychotherapeutic Counsellor – specialising in PTSD and anxiety management.
Hello and welcome. If you are looking for a modern take on therapy, with the emphasis on finding solutions, then you have come to the right place. I have been in private practice since 2011 and helped hundreds of people with a variety of issues to feel better more quickly with my training in counselling, hypnotherapy, NLP, life coaching, and Human Givens psychotherapy.
If you want to identify and meet your missing emotional needs so that you can heal and stay mentally balanced; moving on from states such as stress, anxiety, OCD, depression, anger or addiction, and in as few sessions as possible, then give me a call for a free telephone consultation, or if you prefer you can send me a text message or email and I will reply as soon as I can.
Testimonials
PreviousI just wanted to email and say thank you again for our latest session. I had a full blown panic attack today in Covent Garden, but I was able to quell it in under 5 minutes by using the safe space technique we’ve worked on. It got my breathing under control almost immediately and I was able to wipe my eyes and carry on pretty much straight away. Your sessions have honestly improved my quality of life and I’ll be forever grateful for that!

For many years I have lived with depression and anxiety. I went to see Rita to see if she could help with the lack of confidence and self esteem I had. Plus the negative feelings I had towards myself. She listened and taught me techniques to recognise when I was doing this and accepting myself for who I am with no fear. I wish I’d done this years ago. Rita is very supportive, listens and tailors the session to my needs depending on the week I’ve had. I can’t thank Rita enough.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
OCD is a highly upsetting condition in which a sufferer experiences powerful, intrusive and distressing thoughts or images, usually connected with an imagined disastrous event (perhaps that one’s son will die in a car crash), and devises one …
