Hi, thank you so much for looking at my profile. I am based in Canterbury and I offer counselling to individuals on a short or long term basis. I am happy to work face to face or provide online sessions. I am also offering clinical supervision to counselling professionals.

I am mainly humanistic in approach. I currently work for East Kent College as a team leader, coordinator and clinical supervisor and I have extensive experience and a passion for working with young people as well as adults of all ages and backgrounds.  

I can offer a safe and non - judgemental place for you to explore your thoughts and feelings and support you with any life changes you might wish to make. I will work at your pace and my main aim is to improve your happiness, self acceptance and overall wellbeing.

I have a passion for building self esteem and confidence. I can work with anyone who might need support with a range of issues including anxiety, depression, anger, low mood, loss, relationship issues, bereavement or just those who need to talk and might feel a bit stuck in their life's journey. I can also help with panic attacks, trauma, sexual abuse, gender identity and dysphoria and any pregnancy related issues.

I understand it can be scary to take the step into counselling and you might be feeling anxious. I will do my best to offer a confidential place in which you can feel comfortable and relaxed and able to freely talk and explore your emotional responses and thoughts. I will listen and be with you every step of the way.

I have 2 practice settings -

• Room 321, Lombard House, Health, Wellbeing & Business Centre, 12-17 Upper Bridge Street, Canterbury, Kent, CT1 2NF

• Clinic 124, 124 Middle Wall, Whitstable, Kent, CT5 1BW

I am available Wednesday and Thursdays from 9.30 til 8pm but can often offer a different evening if required.

I am trained and qualified to Level 6 in clinical supervision. I have been providing supervision for individual qualified counsellors and groups with approximately 4 years of experience. More recently I have been offering group sessions for trainee counsellors through my position at East Kent College Group. I also provide supervision for other professions including line managers and progression mentors. I trained at C.C.T Canterbury and although I am mainly humanistic in approach, my supervision training was integrative and I am happy to work with any orientation. My training covered the theories of Hawkins & Shohet, Bridgid Proctor, Francesca Inskipp, Page & Wosket etc. I am happy to work face to face in my room in Canterbury or to offer online supervision via Google Meet or Zoom. Please feel free to get in touch with enquiries and to have an informal chat to see if you would like to work with me. I offer individual supervision and group sessions. 

I have a private room in Lombard House Health & Wellbeing centre, in Canterbury Kent. My room is fully accessible.
