I offer kind, professional psychotherapy based upon our relationship and respecting your unique value. People seek therapy for many significant reasons, and I see the courage it takes to face issues that are causing suffering or asking you to adapt, heal and evolve. I offer a warm, confidential and compassionate space so that as far as possible you feel secure, encouraged and ready to work through your challenges. I’m led by what you feel open to working with as you are the expert on your own experience. Therapy is short or long term. Sessions are held in purpose built rooms within easy reach of Canterbury, with good accessibility.

Life can often present us with some difficult and painful challenges. How we respond to these challenges, will vary according to our life experiences, especially our early childhood experiences. Having the time and space to untangle and make sense of our past and it’s impact on our present, will help us move out of unhelpful thinking styles, help us move, from being stuck in negative relationships and also help find ways to make the changes necessary in our lives. However, on occasion when the source of a persons difficulty is linked with traumatic experiences, then a more specialised trauma focused approach is required.

You may feel constantly on edge or low, or worn down by chronic illness in a body or mind that no longer feels yours. Perhaps everyday tasks take more energy than you have, or long-term stress has left you anxious. Or maybe your days are shaped by external forces you can't control. You might be looking for the release of finally putting down the heavy load you've been carrying. Or you might want an active push towards a new direction. Meeting in the therapy room can create the right conditions for personal growth and positive change.

Great, you have already taken the first steps for you. I am not the expert on you, you are. I am here to support and explore with you what you maybe finding difficult or just not feeling Ok. This may be in your relationships, in your physical body or you are finding both these things are overwhelming sometimes. Together we can wonder, ponder and educate ourselves and understand, why? Then we can make a strategy and build on your already available resilience (you are here remember), and improve this together. This maybe just a few sessions, sometimes just one or a little longer if you need this.

With 25 years experience as a Counsellor & 10 years as an Art Psychotherapist within various NHS, Education and Community-based services, I've since specialised in EMDR therapy and am an Accredited Practitioner with the EMDR Association UK. Although EMDR is widely recognised as a trauma-focused therapy, it can also be effective in treating a broad range of issues, often in a relatively short-term time-frame. EMDR helps process intense emotions, self-limiting beliefs & behavioural patterns in the present which seem stuck on repeat, as they often track back to distressing or overwhelming relational-issues or life events in the past.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or experiencing trauma. You may come from service or high‑pressure roles, be a young person, or family members to any of the aforementioned and carrying stress quietly. You may often feel isolated, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself, unsure how to switch off or share what you’re holding. You may want clarity, steadiness, and a place where you can finally stop performing, acknowledge the weight you carry, and begin to understand what you truly need.

Hello and welcome. Finding the right therapist can feel a bit challenging and I would encourage always to try a few different ones before you decide. You are welcome to contact me to ask any questions that you may have by email or text is the best way to do this and from there we can arrange to speak on the phone at a time that suits you. I have been coaching clients for the last 16 years. My clients have described me as easy to talk to and relaxed, though I do offer a free assessment which is a two-way meeting to see how we get along, so you can dip your toe in the counselling/therapy water with no obligation.

Counselling can be really helpful when you're dealing with tough emotions like stress, anxiety, sadness, confusion, or anger. It’s also useful when something just feels off, but you're not quite sure what it is. I offer a warm, kind, and compassionate space where you can talk through your thoughts and feelings, helping you make sense of them. Whether we're looking at big challenges or small worries, there's always something valuable you can discover about yourself.
