About Me and My Therapy Practice

Hello, I’m Daphne Pratt, a dedicated therapist based in North London, offering face-to-face, online, and telephone counselling. My practice is rooted in a systemic approach, where I work closely with clients to explore how relationships and past experiences shape their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. I strive to create a supportive space where individuals can uncover the patterns that impact their lives, both past and present. With over 20 years of experience, I have supported individuals, children, and families through various challenges, guiding them towards positive change and personal growth.
