About me and my therapy practice

I am an experienced and skilled accredited counsellor offering professional counselling in a confidential and comfortable setting within my private practice at my home in Pembury (near Tunbridge Wells, Kent). I work integratively to offer a bespoke therapy to meet your individual needs. The models of therapy I use are Humanistic (Person-centred, Gestalt and Transactional Analysis) and CBT. People seek counselling for various reasons and issues, all of which will be met by me with acceptance and empathy. I believe in a trusting relationship between a counsellor and client to support you in what you would like to achieve through counselling. I will endeavor to provide a safe, non-judgemental space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours, enabling you to gain a greater sense of awareness about your past and present circumstances. Alongside my private practice, I also work in a GP's clinic and have had experience working in schools through 'Place 2 Be', CRUSE (a bereavement agency) and a trauma clinic specialising in adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse and domestic abuse.
