Counselling in Sittingbourne

I am a qualified counsellor who works in an integrative way believing that every client is unique and has their own individual requirements. I passionately believe that we all need an empathic and kind ear during the most difficult times in our lives, someone to be there who will listen and sit with us patiently when life feels too hard. At times anxieties, experiences, problems or worries can feel just too heavy to carry alone so that's when counsellors like myself can be of real benefit. I am privileged to say that I have helped my clients work through obstacles that they feel have been holding them back in life.

You hate the limelight yet yearn to feel noticed, heard and include. You want success but struggle to promote yourself. Your inner critic shouts 'Be more confident' but you just can't. You find it hard to meet new people, never quite knowing what to say therefore missing out on opportunities to make new friends, find a romantic partner, and expand your horizons. Your mind races, constantly over analysing every interaction - past and future – worrying about what you did say, what you didn’t say, what you’re going to say. If you can relate to any of the above, then you're in the right place!

It takes tremendous strength and courage to reach out and finally say - something's not working. It can be easy to put aside our doubts, worries, traumas and behaviours, and let our busy lives take the lead. Yet as you know, these feelings don't just disappear, and one day something builds up within us that makes us say - 'ENOUGH, I need to deal with this.' Naturally, our first step is to reach out to friends, family, or colleagues, and although we respect their opinions, do we truly allow ourselves to be vulnerable within these relationships?

Feeling truly listened to and valued can be an incredibly powerful, healing experience. I can say this, based on my own journey where feeling understood and having meaning and connection with others goes to the core of our being. I am a trained qualified counsellor, and I offer you a safe space with no judgement or agenda. I also bring with me over 20 years of experience working with people with a range of mental health and wellbeing needs. I have also supported and coached staff in the workplace, through a difficult and distressing time in their personal life, or to help realise their goals through greater self-worth and belief.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by Stress, Anxiety, COVID, problems at work or have recently experienced a Bereavement. I will help you to reduce your stress, anxiety and improve your self-esteem, confidence and help find YOU again. It’s ok to not have the answers or understand the emotions you are experiencing. I offer a safe space for you to express yourself and will help you to make the changes necessary to move forward with your life.

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.
