I provide Psychoanalytic and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment, on an open-ended basis or for an agreed time period. Our work together will focus on identifying, better understanding and working through the issues that are impacting negatively on your life so you are able to develop positive changes within yourself and in your ways of relating with others.

It is an important decision to invest in yourself through counselling. I  would welcome the opportunity to work with you. I am a warm, open and caring person. I take each session at your pace and can work short or long term. I work in accordance with the BACP Ethical Framework and will provide you with a safe, non judgemental space to work in.

More and more people are finding that counselling can help them discover their own path or journey through what can seem like a maze of issues, decisions and choices. It can help them to understand what is happening in relationships at difficult times so that they can regain a sense of meaning, balance and control in their lives.

Are you feeling anxious, angry or unappreciated? Perhaps your mood has been low for a while and you can’t seem to shift that feeling. Sometimes life events such as trauma, loss, abuse, family problems or work issues can leave us feeling helpless. Perhaps you are considering help to untangle your thoughts. Maybe you think a lot about things that have happened in the past that still affect you. Sometimes there may be a sense that life is lacking in meaning and direction. We can all lose sight of who we really are and what we want from life

Sometimes people may experience emotional distress and pain arising from life changes, relationship break-up, redundancy, bereavement. They may feel depressed, anxious or confused. Perhaps there's trauma, stress or difficult illness. Problems may be from the past too. Sometimes the cause can be unclear, where low mood or anxiety have become overwhelming. If you’re struggling on your own to make sense of things or to find a way forward, reach out to someone outside of your immediate circle of family and friends. Here you can experience being listened to without judgment, feel understood and work to resolve your difficulties.

I am a clinical psychologist experienced in helping clients with a wide range of issues, with particular expertise in the area of trauma and PTSD. I completed post-doctoral training in EMDR and am able to offer this to both adolescents and adults. My approach is non-pathologising, strengths-focused and collaborative. Together we can make sense of whatever difficulties are holding you (or your child) back and, using evidence-based therapeutic approaches - reduce emotional distress, increase your wellbeing and help you to thrive in your life.

Sometimes we face tough times and difficult challenges in our lives and don't know where to turn. My belief is that therapy can be an effective and positive way forward in working through challenges and developing constructive strategies. My role is to facilitate you to achieve your therapeutic goals. Whether you are struggling in a relationship or with work issues, dealing with loss or feeling anxious, I can help you to unlock your potential, uncover emotional blocks and retrain your mindset so that you can lead the life you feel in control of.

Are you struggling to connect with the things that matter in your life? Perhaps your thoughts and emotions are leaving you feeling overwhelmed. You might be worrying about the future and/or finding it difficult to deal with your past.

Right now you are feeling stuck and are seeking someone to come alongside you and help you to explore a way forward. Our therapeutic relationship can pave the way to an empowering, successful and enlightening experience.

Thank you for viewing my profile. If you are struggling to parent your children and think that your children are also struggling with how you are parenting them, chances are that family life is tough.

I also provide couples therapy for those who are going through tough times in their relationship, either due to the demands of being parents or for many other reasons.

With 20 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 now an Accredited Practitioner with the EMDR Association UK & Ireland. Although EMDR is widely recognised as a trauma-focused therapy, it can effectively treat 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.

If your everyday life and general wellbeing are being affected by how you’re feeling, it is a good time to get some help. I am Lead Counsellor at Pilgrims Hospices and I work as a school counsellor. In my private practice I offer individual counselling for young people and adults. Counselling can offer the space and time needed to work through experiences and issues, it is an opportunity to be heard and to feel understood. It can help in building better self-awareness, relationships and overall quality of life. Choosing a counsellor that feels like the right person is really important.

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.

I offer both counselling and supervision to adults and young people. My main counselling focus areas are working with neurodivergent clients, students and clients who have experienced domestic abuse. I am adoption registered as a link therapist with Banardos . As a counsellor, I believe in the essential need to create a space where you set the pace and we work together to look how this would work for you. Sometimes we don't know what this starting point is or direction an intial session can help to focus on an area to begin.As a supervisor my supervisees work in agencies, private practice and schools.

Relationships can at times be a great source of distress and anxiety; sometimes it’s easy to feel stuck and unable to move forwards. You may be having difficulties with communication, infidelity, intimacy, sexual difficulties, or perhaps you just can’t seem to get along anymore and you’re not sure why. Whether you are experiencing difficulties within your relationship, or find it difficult to form lasting relationships, counselling can give you the space you need to explore and understand these issues. I offer sex therapy and relationship/couple counselling from my base in Canterbury (Kent) and online.

You may be struggling to cope with every day life, feeling overwhelmed with anxiety & dread social situations that take up your energy, resulting in you feeling there is no hope. Relationships may feel unhealthy, difficult & problematic, or like you just don’t fit in, and this can be within our families, our friendships, in the school environment, in the work place & beyond. Changes & transitions may feel too much & stop you from living the life that you want where you may feel stuck & dissatisfied, & trauma may prevent you from feeling at peace.
