As an Accredited Integrative Counsellor & EMDR Therapist I understand that you are unique and I will adapt my professional skills to your needs. I have extensive experience working with Trauma, PTSD, Anxiety, Phobias, Depression, Bereavement, Stress, Low Self Esteem and much more.

Welcome to my profile page. I appreciate that taking those first steps to see a therapist can be scary. We may have fears of being judged, concerns that it might not work out, and with so many therapists out there how do we pick the right one?! These are all perfectly normal thoughts and feelings to have. I will provide a non judgmental, safe space to help you explore the relationship between your thoughts, feelings and behaviours, to help you reach your goals. I have over 15 years experience working in mental health and substance misuse services and am fully accredited with the BABCP.

Anxiety, stress, confusion, grief, and anger are just a few of the feelings that I have seen clients finding relief from, during our work together. I support you in addressing difficult or painful issues from your past and present. By listening to what's going on beneath the surface and through new insights, whatever gets in the way of you reaching your full potential will be brought to light.

Do you feel overwhelmed in social situations, worrying how others perceive you? Are you having trouble sleeping or waking up in the middle of the night with your heart racing? Or perhaps on some days it is a real challenge to wake up and find the motivation to get out of bed, wondering ‘what’s the point?’ Sometimes, it might be difficult to share your thoughts and feelings with your family and friends. I aim to offer you a safe, confidential space to explore what is on your mind.

I am a fully qualified BACP Accredited Counsellor, BABCP Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist and EMDR trained. I have over 14 years’ experience working as a psychotherapist in NHS settings (Primary & Secondary Care) and from treating of a wide range of anxiety and depression related problems. I lecture in CBT and supervise CBT trainees at Canterbury Christ Church University.

At various points in our lives we may find ourselves needing a little extra support. Sometimes the only way to get a handle on a problem is to share it with a complete stranger in the knowledge that you will not be judged, but supported toward reaching your goals. Whether those goals are to understand yourself better, increase your confidence or self-esteem, move on after divorce or bereavement or to begin to move past traumas and understand what is holding you back in your current life. I am here to help you explore what is happening for you right now.

Psychotherapy can benefit anyone with emotional, social or mental health problems. I enjoy working with clients who are keen to explore their experiences, beliefs and barriers to living more fulfilling life.

Therapy can be a catalyst for change helping us to regain a sense of control in our lives and begin to live life more towards our true potential. I have experience of working with a wide range of issues that impact on clients' wellbeing, offering support, empathy and a safe space to share their concerns. I work with individuals, couples, families, children, young people on short and long-term contracts in Canterbury and Waltham. I use different approaches and techniques that are tailored to clients' needs, believing that we are all individual and that ‘one size does not fit all’. I have also lived and worked extensively overseas.

I am a family and systemic psychotherapist. I work therapeutically with individuals, couples, and families. I have worked in many different contexts including social care, the NHS and the voluntary sector.

My approach is collaborative and strengths based.

Need a breath of fresh air? Change of scenery? Anxieties and problems have weighed heavy recently and it's been very easy for things to feel like they are getting on top of us, or maybe you've been meaning to get some support for a while and now is the time to move forward and feel better. Over the years I have supported all kinds of people with a wide variety of things they find difficult and we can decide together if I am the right person and this is the right thing for you. I offer a flexible approach to counselling and counselling supervision working outdoors, walking, sitting, with my dog or yours, or both, and online.

Struggling with stress, anxiety, work-related issues, relationships, discrimination or situations affecting your emotional well-being. These issues could evoke worry, feelings of isolation or fear. You are not alone, by starting your journey with me, it ends with you. Creating the right space allows you to explore what has happened in the past and/or continues to affect you. With support you may be able gain some insight as to why these issues leave you feeling stuck, or repeating the same behaviour. Change is achievable, by developing yourself and building confidence, resilience which may create a happier you.

It can be really difficult to ask for help so as a counsellor I take your interest seriously. I offer a safe, confidential and non judgemental relationship within which we can explore your thoughts and feelings. A place where you will be heard, understood and where I can help you find a way forward from the difficulties you may be experiencing. Whether it be relationship issues, low self esteem, abuse, depression or something you just can't put your finger on, by contacting myself for counselling is the first step to positive change.

Are you struggling with yourself or life right now? You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious or depressed, or even struggling with a life/work balance. Recent times have been challenging and negatively impacted many people. Sometimes, speaking to family and friends just doesn't seem enough. However, with the right support, you can definitely thrive, discovering your strengths and forge a more positive way forward. Imagining being the driver of your life, where you are in control, instead of a back seat passenger of your life.

I have 20 years NHS experience providing psychological therapies, managing also a crisis team and liaison psychiatry service. I can offer psychodynamic therapy which is emotional and embodied. This is attachment-informed EMDR integrated with IFS ‘parts’ therapy. This approach creatively interweaves trauma therapy and Internal Family Systems therapy. I trained at Goldsmiths College; and with the University of Kent and clinically with the NHS; and also with a Jungian analytical training. Emdr combined with IFS is the best therapy available today. We are not removing symptoms we are loving and befriending all of you.

By creating a non-judgemental place on a weekly basis, you are able to explore your thoughts and feelings at a deeper level. We learn to sit with uncomfortable and unwanted feelings in order to understand where they really stem from. Any feelings that we repress can turn into projections, anxiety, panic attacks, even depression....etc. it is crucial that we explore why we cope the way we do and what holds us back from processing certain feelings.
