Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, and you might be dealing with emotions or situations that feel too heavy to carry alone. Whether it’s anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, or unresolved past experiences, I understand how isolating and confusing these feelings can be. As an integrative counsellor, I want to acknowledge how hard it is to take the first step in reaching out for support. You might be wondering if therapy is right for you, or if anyone could really understand what you’re going through. I want you to know that your feelings are valid, and you don’t have to go through this alone.

Given the latest government advice all sessions will be offered online. I have ten years of experience of working in this way and I am happy to give you guidance to set this up. You will need an internet connection (preferably high speed), a headset and microphone. I can also offer telephone sessions but face to face via an online platform is preferable. Psychotherapy is about being listened to and seen in a particular way. There is nowhere else in life that offers a time and space to focus on your 'self' - your body and your mind. My Kent practice is in the village of Bridge near Canterbury and is easy to reach.

I provide ADHD and ASD (Autism) assessments and screenings both face-to-face and remote in the UK using psychometric questionnaires and interviews. Obtaining a diagnosis helps doctors and mental health clinicians tailor treatment plans to meet client needs and make the necessary change in the workplace and educational environments. This ensures individuals receive the necessary support and accommodations to enhance productivity and well-being. An accurate diagnosis opens access to resources and interventions, promoting better outcomes in both personal and professional life.

Through my work as a psychotherapist and Children and families social worker since 1989 I have developed my knowledge and experience in supporting those who have experienced early life trauma, separation and loss. I have a particular interest in attachment theory and its clinical applications. Our childhood experiences may continue to impact our adult lives and ability to make and sustain healthy and emotionally secure relationships. Although psychoanalytically trained my clinical practice is predominately attachment based and trauma informed. I offer both brief and longer term therapeutic support to individuals, couples and groups.

I hold a BA(Hons) in integrative relational counselling and a registered member of BACP. I have a number of years of experience working in the charity and private sector, supporting clients with a wide range of emotional issues. At the heart of my counselling practice is the aim to provide a space where you can come to breathe, to be, and find unconditional acceptance, positive reflection and discover alternative narratives and perspectives for yourself. A relationship that enables that to occur, allows for the development of self-awareness, self- acceptance, hope and healing.

I work well with clients who have already begun their journey of self-discovery and healing, who are curious about themselves and are open to trying new things. Perhaps you have already experienced psychotherapy and you did not get from it quite what you hoped. My clients often report difficulties in their relationships, self-limiting beliefs, anxiety, depression, bereavement or unacknowledged and unresolved childhood trauma. I am interested in spirituality, sexuality, polyamory, parts work, generational trauma, dysfunctional family life, the nervous system, self-harm, developmental and event trauma, relational and somatic work.

We are all unique but our shared humanity means that we all struggle.With over 40yrs experience of working in mental health I have learnt that one of the most helpful interventions for a human in distress is to help them clarify their values and to use this information as leverage to facilitate the inevitable behavioural change that is needed for a life lived well. I have found that combining CBT with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) promotes symptom reduction but also helps patient's to reconnect with what is important in their lives. If you're reading this I'm guessing you're feeling stuck-maybe I can help with that.

You may be considering psychotherapy because you have a specific concern or are experiencing ‘symptoms’ that you want to address. You may be experiencing anxiety, depression, or a general sense of unease and feel life is meaningless or joyless. Perhaps you are facing some significant change in your life and unsure what to do. Or maybe you are feeling stuck finding yourself in the same place, repeating the same patterns, despite your efforts to change things. Or perhaps you want to get to know yourself more deeply and experience life more fully.

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 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’.
