Dr. Olena Edwards-Skadowska

I have been going to Olena for several years now - on and off when I need support. I initially went to her to work through difficult things and she has helped immensely. Olena's approach is grounded in theory and is very focussed on supporting you to support yourself, for example she has been a key support in helping me to manage my extremely intense working environment, manage complex family dynamics, explore my queerness and my relationships, all while supporting me to come off my medication. I now see Olena on an ad hoc basis when something comes up e.g. going through a breakup. Olena is also incredibly articulate, compassionate, intelligent, and challenges you to challenge yourself. I cannot recommend Olena enough!

My experience with Dr. Olena Edwards has been a five‑star experience from start to finish. She brings a rare combination of deep clinical expertise and genuine human warmth that immediately puts you at ease. Throughout each session, she listens with full presence and offers insights that are both clear and transformative. What stands out most is her ability to explain emotional patterns in a way that feels empowering rather than overwhelming, giving you practical tools you can apply right away. Dr. Olena’s approach is open, compassionate, and deeply committed to helping you understand your challenges at their core. She creates a space where you feel safe exploring difficult topics without judgment, and her passion for her work is evident in every interaction. Over time, my experience with her has remained consistently outstanding. Her genuine kindness, deep sympathy, and unwavering compassion create a therapeutic environment unlike any other. Her exceptional skills set her apart in her field — she is truly one of the best in her craft. Each session reflects her rare ability to combine clinical expertise with heartfelt humanity, and that combination is what keeps me returning. She is not only highly skilled but also sincerely dedicated to helping you gain clarity and move forward with confidence. For anyone considering therapy, a few things can help you make the most of your time with her: arrive with a sense of what you’d like to explore, remain open to her guidance, and feel free to ask questions — she welcomes them and responds with clarity and care.

I had a very positive experience. The doctor was kind, attentive, and made me feel comfortable from the first minute. They listened carefully and explained everything clearly. I felt understood and supported during the whole session. After the visit, I felt calmer and more confident about my next steps.

An outstanding therapist who makes you feel heard and supported without ever pushing the conversation. The approach really encourages self-reflection and personal responsibility, and I’ve found the work deeply effective.

Finally Free from Years of Pressure Growing up in an Asian family with intense expectations left me struggling with anxiety and feeling I was never good enough. In my 40s, I finally sought help and began working with Karima El Haddad at London Trusted Therapy. Karima's approach, using Transactional Analysis and psychoanalysis, helped me understand the patterns I'd been trapped in since childhood. The results have been fantastic—I've gained confidence and the anxiety that once consumed me has significantly reduced. I also want to mention Jonathan and the admin team, who made everything so smooth. Jonathan was always polite, helpful, and genuinely went the extra mile to ensure I felt supported. I'm so grateful for the care I received here.

After carrying childhood trauma for decades, I finally found the courage to seek help in my mid-50s. I'm incredibly grateful that I was connected with Tina Foley at London Trusted Therapy for an intensive EMDR programme. Over 10 sessions, Tina guided me through EMDR therapy with such kindness and gentleness that I felt safe exploring deeply painful memories I'd avoided for years. Her extensive knowledge and experience were evident throughout, yet she never made me feel rushed or pressured. She understood exactly how to pace the work to match what I could handle. The changes have been remarkable. The symptoms that once dominated my daily life have significantly improved. I feel lighter, more present, and finally able to move forward rather than being held back by my past. If you're considering EMDR therapy and wondering whether it's worth trying, I can only say that working with Olena has genuinely transformed my life. Her skill, compassion, and expertise created exactly the healing environment I needed.

Dr Olena is an amazing specialist. I strongly recommend London Trusted Therapy

I understood her professionalism from the first sentence. She helped me go through the toughest time of my life with only several therapies. Her approaches are modern, down to earth and super helpful

Dr Orlena deeply helped me transition through the painful experience of realising quite how unhealthy my family is and continue to be. To find new ways to be happy and expand my world.
