You might be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or like you’re no longer yourself. On the outside, life may look perfectly fine — but inside, you’re struggling, overthinking everything, or constantly battling self-doubt. Maybe anxiety and worry are stopping you from doing the things you want to do.
Perhaps you’re tired of feeling “not good enough” and long for a space where you can be honest, listened to, and supported. You might want to quiet the negative thoughts about yourself, to move through your day without anxiety holding you back, or simply to relax and enjoy your time without that constant mental noise.

Good rapport with your Counsellor's the first step towards achieving change. My Counselling approach is different to anything my clients (both Adults & Children) have experienced before and it's because of this, they've felt at ease quickly and gained maximum benefit from their sessions. I've Counselled since 2019 and have a diverse range of additional skills that I integrate into my Counselling work. I work with Victims of Crime within Kent, as well as Children & Families who've been bereaved. I have over 10yrs experience working with Children & Young People, including those with additional needs, so my approach is inclusive.

I understand how daunting it can be to begin therapy. Whatever you’re struggling with, be it depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship or attachment issues, we can look at the jigsaw pieces of your life together, to help you gain clarity. This may involve exploring the past to identify patterns in emotions and behaviours which shine a light on current issues. You may be grappling with life’s meaning after bereavement or a relationship breakdown. Any kind of loss can have a huge impact on our mental wellbeing. I work with you to help you make sense of things & find meaning and purpose in order to move forward and feel less lost.

Choosing the right therapist can be a challenging task. You might be asking questions like “Are they good?” “Will I get on with them?” “What if I waste my money on the wrong person?” . These are all valid questions to ask. The approach I take in my work is making sure everything is tailored to you. Whether that’s asking you what your learning style is, being clear about expectations and ultimately making sure that you feel that our therapy space is safe and comfortable.
Therapy doesn’t have to be scary and if you want to learn more then please reach out

Life doesn't get any easier does it? Juggling work, relationships and family can be stressful and confusing, leaving us feeling emotionally drained. Sometimes the harder we work to please others, the tougher we are on ourselves. This can make us feel less than good enough. Deeper feelings of anxiety, sadness and anger can be painful and scary, so we become very good at burying them until they build up and overwhelm us. If you are experiencing feelings that are hard to manage I can help you.

In psychotherapy there is an opportunity to get to know yourself in depth and discover new ways of living your life. Often we have repetitive patterns and ways of thinking that can for instance cause suffering, frustration, anxiety and sadness in our life. Despite our best efforts to decide to behave and relate differently, we drift back to our old ways of being and behaving. In psychotherapy we will work at getting to know your unconscious inner life. A lot of feelings and thoughts we have are not conscious and psychotherapy gives you the opportunity to reflect and try out new ways when you feel change is needed.
