The North London Counselling & Psychotherapy Centre
FACE-TO-FACE APPOINTMENTS IN PALMERS GREEN OR ONLINE
*PLEASE NOTE THAT WE WILL SOON BE ABLE TO OFFER LOW-COST THERAPY APPOINTMENTS ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON
Anxiety and panic attacks, depression, relationship issues, trauma, low self-esteem, life transitions or a feeling of being 'stuck'...
We offer counselling and therapy online and in Palmers Green to give you a confidential, safe and non-judgmental space in which you can explore the challenges you face.
We work with you to make sense of your feelings, your thoughts and your situation. Better understanding opens up choices and the possibilities for change.
We know how difficult it can be to make the first move but we welcome the opportunity to discuss how we can support you. Please feel free to call or email Lisa Daitz without obligation.
Lisa Daitz
Founder and Lead Psychotherapist
The North London Counselling and Psychotherapy Centre was set up by Lisa Daitz in 2010. Lisa is an Accredited Member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP), and has extensive clinical experience offering counselling and psychotherapy to adults and adolescents across a range of issues, including stress, anxiety and depression, bereavement, relationships and trauma. She holds a Masters Degree and PG Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy and an Honours Degree in Psychology. Before establishing the Centre, Lisa worked within an NHS setting. As well as private practice, she works with clients of a national women's aid charity affected by domestic violence, and with the Victim Support Homicide Team. Lisa Daitz practises existential-phenomenological psychotherapy, whilst integrating humanistic, Freudian and Jungian concepts into her work. She also holds qualifications in CBT, Coaching and Mentoring. Before beginning her professional training, Lisa spent twenty-five years in the marketing sector, latterly as the Managing Director of a Communications Company.
Lisa Daitz - Lead Psychotherapist
Existential Psychotherapy is a philosophically-based, yet down-to-earth approach. Its emphasis is on working together to understand your own philosophy and how you make sense of your life and its meaning. Within this are the values, assumptions and attitudes, all of which inform the way that difficulties and issues are understood. As we become more aware of the way we live our lives, we open up choices and the potential for the future. Through greater self awareness we have the ability to make the changes necessary to manage life in a more fulfilling way.
Speak in Confidence
Counselling and psychotherapy offers a safe, non-judgmental space where you can be heard with sensitivity and empathy. Thoughts and feelings can be expressed freely, in confidence and without judgement. A strong therapeutic relationship allows you to explore the issues that are preventing you from living the best life you can live.
Make sense of difficult feelings
Anxiety and panic attacks; depression or trauma, loss and bereavement; relationship issues and life transitions - we can all face difficulties in our lives.
We offer short-term or long-term therapy with an approach that challenges attitudes and assumptions, yet through the process we always recognise and respect the uniqueness of our clients. We offer a safe, warm and accepting environment in which to make better sense of problems and explore difficult feelings.
Bring changes through better understanding
Therapy enables insight into the difficulties you are facing and your responses to them. Better understanding allows you to see choices and with choice comes the opportunity to bring about changes.

“Thank you for all of the support and guidance you have given me over the last year. The journey we have travelled in our sessions has been genuinely transformative and I feel so much better connected to myself and the world. You have helped me understand the causes of my anxiety and shone a light on how to overcome them. I am truly grateful."
Client, face-to-face and online therapy
“You literally saved my life and I don't know how to thank you. You helped me to understand why I was in an abusive relationship for so long and how I could move forward. You helped me to gain a sense of self and self-esteem and you allowed me to forgive myself."
Client, long term face-to-face therapy
“When we began you asked me how I would want my life to be in an ideal world. My answer was that I didn't want to wake up. Now I look forward to every day. I understand why I found it difficult to form relationships and I hid by being busy all the time. I also understand how I used alcohol to fill the time and avoid feelings All that has changed because of therapy and the work we have done together."
