I have some availability for new clients.

Do you feel unheard? Maybe you’re experiencing anxiety or depression. Perhaps you are living with past or present trauma, bereavement?

Reaching out for counselling can feel scary and my role as your therapist is to really listen and guide you through this process with care, compassion and courage.  You can expect a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space to share whatever you are experiencing. We can explore at a pace that you are comfortable with.

I practice humanistic integrative counselling. I am a registered member of the Â鶹ԭ´´ and I am ICO registered. I hold an up-to-date DBS certificate.

I use Gestalt and Existential models within a person-centred approach (happy to explain what this means if you want to understand this a bit more) and sometimes I may introduce creative skills to help us identify personal values/motivations and ideas.

My Experience

I run my successful practice here in the heart of Tunbridge Wells full time after having spent this past year dividing my time between my home town and Golders Green in London.  I have worked counselling people living with terminal illness and coping with bereavement and loss. In addition, I have helped many clients internationally with a wide variety of mental health needs on the Betterhelp platform. I have to date received many highly positive reviews. 

I have also spent time as a volunteer, giving over 100 hours of counselling, supporting unpaid carers. I have seen first-hand the many levels of trauma often caused by these big life events. I have spent time working with people who are struggling in areas such as the Arts giving low-cost counselling to people living with mental ill health in the creative industries. To date. Even with extensive experience in counselling I am forever learning about people, and it keeps me challenged and excited to go to work every day.
