During this very difficult time of isolation and uncertainty, I am reducing my fees to £40.00 per 50 minute session so that more people can access the therapeutic help and support they need.  I am also offering only phone or FaceTime sessions as I feel the wearing of face coverings, though necessary for our safety, is not conducive to therapy.  FaceTime is a different platform for me but I am finding it a useful medium to connect with clients.  Should you wish to contact me, please do this by either phone/text or email in the first instance.  In most cases I will contact you within 24 hours to find out from you what your needs are and how I can help you. 

You can contact me anytime from 10.00 until 6.00 Monday to Saturday.

Thank you.

I work with couples, individuals and families and my aim is to help my clients find a way through the issues that are making them unhappy. I work in an integrative way, which means that I use whatever method I feel is most appropriate to the client, and this becomes apparent as our work progresses.  My focus is always to help my clients find their own way through to a more contented place in their lives.

 I believe that the most important relationship any of us have is the relationship we have with ourselves.

How we feel about ourselves  informs decisions and choices we make in our lives, such as the people we choose to be in relationships with; how we expect to be treated and how we treat others.  If we can reach a comfortable honesty with our inner 'self', we can feel happier in our relationships and take some control. Through our work  together, we will look at your unhappiness; and see whether the route of this lies in historical, or more present issues.  Whatever the cause, I can help you find your way through towards a more content life. 

I am also a bereavement counsellor, working with families experiencing loss as well as clients with life limiting conditions at a local hospice.

  My practice continues to help clients on phone and Facetime medium.

Our first session which is free, will be an assessment which is an initial phone call lasting up to 30 minutes.  This gives me the opportunity of explaining how I work as a counsellor, and also to explain my working agreement with you.  The working agreement covers things such as agreeing on a mutually convenient time for our sessions and how my fees are payable.  I ensure this is acceptable to us both before our work begins.

The assessment also offers you the opportunity of sharing your thoughts and worries so that I can tailor my work to your needs, ensuring you receive the most effective work from me as a counsellor.

I offer person centred supervision, incorporating an integrative model as and when required, and I work with clinical and non clinical supervisees.  As a  Supervisor, I offer you the opportunity to share your client work  with me,  within a welcoming and open environment. I will support you as you  check in with your own feelings and emotions, in a confidential and collaborative session with me, encouraging a positive and trusting working relationship between us to form.

My office is located in central Ashford, with good access and nearby parking.
