People often come to see me when they are:

• feeling emotionally overwhelmed or constantly on edge

• carrying grief or loss that still feels painful

• struggling with the impact of childhood experiences or trauma

• feeling stuck in patterns that are difficult to change

• facing a life transition and feeling uncertain about the future

I have over 18 years’ experience working as a therapist, supporting adults through a wide range of emotional difficulties.

I am a Registered Member of the

British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy

and work within their Ethical Framework for safe and ethical practice.

I hold a Higher Professional Diploma (Distinction) in Person-Centred Counselling (BACP accredited).graduating 2008.

Until recently, I spent over 10 years working within a counselling charity, supporting people through grief, loss and bereavement, offering structured programmes, focused on the individual's experience of loss.

Earlier in my career I worked within a counselling service in a children's centre, supporting parents with a wide range of issues including postnatal depression, domestic violence, childhood sexual abuse, relationship difficulties, relocation and migration, terminal illness, job loss and bereavement.

If you’re struggling with something in your life that’s causing emotional pain or leaving you feeling stuck, talking with someone outside of your everyday life can help.

In an ideal world we might turn to friends or family, but sometimes that doesn’t feel possible. You may worry about being judged, misunderstood, or feel that others have their own agenda.

I offer a safe, confidential and compassionate space where you can talk openly about what is happening for you. Many people experience great relief simply in sharing their thoughts and feelings with someone who will listen carefully and without judgement.

Together we can explore the experiences that are troubling you, helping you gain insight, process difficult emotions and begin to find your own way forward. 

I offer:

• Online therapy across the UK

• Face-to-face sessions in Tonbridge

• Walk-and-talk therapy, outside in a local park

This flexibility allows you to choose the format that feels most comfortable for you

Autogenic Training (AT)

I hold a Diploma in Autogenic Training, accredited by the British Autogenic Society {https://britishautogenicsociety.uk).  I have been teaching this well-researched relaxation method for stress and stress-related difficulties since 2001

Our first session is an opportunity for us to meet and talk about what has brought you to therapy. You can share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with, and we can explore what you would like support with.

It is also a chance for you to get a sense of how it feels to work with me and decide whether you feel comfortable continuing.  There is no obligation to continue after this session.

The fee for this initial session is £30.
