Trauma Therapy in London and across the UK

For those looking to move from insight to integration.

This is therapy for those ready to stop performing strength - and start coming home to themselves.

No ‘quick fixes’. No pretending.
Just real, grounded, embodied healing.

If you’re ready for therapy that honours both your resilience and your pain-

You’re in the right place.

Hello, I’m Raisa.

I support the quiet, high-achieving, emotionally burdened ones - in healing the deep, unseen wounds of childhood trauma, attachment ruptures, and cultural silence.

My approach is grounded in trauma-informed care, cultural nuance, and embodied presence.

It’s not about fixing you - it’s about creating the conditions where you can return to yourself, soften survival strategies, and move toward a life that’s not just functional, but free.

Offerings

I offer trauma-informed, culturally sensitive therapy for individuals who are navigating the impact of:

  • Early relational or childhood trauma

  • Identity loss

  • Perfectionism

  • Inherited family dynamics

Whether you're struggling with anxiety, emotional disconnection, or relationship patterns that no longer serve you, this is a space for the deeper work.

  • A personalised one-on-one session designed to help you navigate anxiety, depression, and everyday stress.

    Learn more about trauma therapy here.

  • Ideal for relationships experiencing communication breakdowns, emotional disconnection, repeating conflict loops or rebuilding after rupture.

    Learn more about couples and relationship therapy here.

  • If you’ve felt stuck in talk therapy, overwhelmed by emotion, or unsure how to explain your pain—EMDR may offer a different path. One that honours what you’ve survived without making you relive it. Learn more about EMDR therapy here.

  • Attachment trauma refers to emotional wounds that develop when your need for connection, safety, or attunement wasn't consistently met as a child. Sometimes the trauma is subtle - chronic emotional neglect, feeling invisible, being parentified, or always walking on eggshells. Learn more about therapy for attachment wounds here.

  • I bring a depth of understanding in ADHD, Autism, and neurodivergence in women, with a strong foundation in trauma-informed, attachment-focused therapy. Learn more about support for neurodivergence here.

  • Ideal for clients feeling stuck in weekly therapy and those wanting deeper progress in a condensed time frame.

Specialisations

  • Depression and Self Esteem

    You appear to have it all together - managing work, family, and daily responsibilities. But inside, you feel drained, disconnected, or stuck in autopilot. If you're struggling to find joy or ease, you're not alone. Support is available, and change is possible.

  • High-functioning Anxiety

    You’re high-functioning, yet anxiety follows you everywhere - racing thoughts, constant tension, and a sense of being on edge. On the outside, you’re managing well; inside, it’s a different story. Anxiety is treatable. With the right support, you can regain calm, clarity, and control.

  • OCD and Perfectionism

    You may find yourself stuck in repetitive thoughts or rituals, trying to feel “just right” or avoid imagined threats. On the outside, you’re functioning - but inside, OCD is exhausting. You don’t have to stay trapped in these cycles. Effective treatment can help you find freedom and peace of mind.

  • Relational/Attachment Trauma

    If early relationships left you feeling unsafe, unseen, or unworthy, that pain can show up as trust issues, emotional disconnection, or fear of intimacy. You may long for closeness but feel overwhelmed. With the right support, you can build safer, healthier connections - starting with yourself.

  • Addiction and Codependency

    Addiction is not simply about substance use or compulsive behaviour. It is a multi-layered coping response, often rooted in pain, trauma, shame, and unmet emotional needs. I help clients understand the real function of addiction and create sustainable pathways toward recovery and relational repair.

  • Intergenerational Trauma

    You may carry pain that didn’t start with you - patterns of fear, disconnection, or emotional struggle passed down through generations. Even if your life looks stable, that inherited weight can feel overwhelming. With the right support, you can break the cycle and create a new path forward.

Testimonals

  • "After years of battling with anxiety, depression, and relationship troubles, I decided to seek professional therapy. I’m so glad I did since my sessions with Raisa have changed my life. She has been important in my personal growth and recovery as I take control of my life and become the person I always wanted to be. I heartily suggest her services to anyone looking for high-quality therapeutic care".

  • "From the outset, Raisa's warmth and empathy created a safe and welcoming space, allowing me to comfortably share personal thoughts and concerns. I left each session feeling not only heard but also equipped with practical tools to implement positive changes in my life. 
I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a compassionate and skilled therapist."

  • "I consulted with Raisa for issues around low confidence, social anxiety, and depression. Throughout the process, Raisa was empathetic towards my issues, while also providing clear and direct feedback on the changes I should make in my life to achieve my therapy goals. I have benefitted considerably from my sessions, and would definitely recommend seeking therapy from her.”

  • "I began therapy during a time when my life felt like it was falling apart. After nearly a year of therapy with Raisa, I’ve seen remarkable improvements in myself. Overall, I can’t recommend therapy enough. It has been the single most valuable investment in my mental health, and I’m incredibly grateful for the growth and understanding I’ve gained through these sessions."

  • "In mid-2022, I found myself at rock bottom, barely hanging onto life. A friend recommended Raisa, and her therapy sessions became a major turning point for me. I never expected to process and accept grief, rediscover myself, and realize my untapped potential. I'm profoundly thankful to Raisa for guiding me through what may have been the worst period of my life."

  • “Her unique combination of empathy, patience, and practical guidance sets her apart, making a meaningful difference in the lives of those fortunate enough to work with her. I am truly grateful to have had the opportunity to benefit from her expertise, and I want others to experience the same transformation and growth that she has facilitated in my life.”

You're done with the performative wellness game - you're ready for something real. A better relationship with yourself is closer than you think, and I'm here to help you step into it.
