Whether you are dealing with a specific issue or just have that feeling something isn’t right, therapy can be a powerful tool to explore your thoughts and make positive changes. There isn’t anybody that couldn’t benefit from an hour a week, dedicated to them, especially at times when life feels too much to handle on our own. My top priority as a therapist is to create a safe space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and emotions without judgement. Being seen, believed and supported can help enormously. I also draw on embodied approaches to trauma, which means I use the body as a tool for deeper self-awareness.
I work gently and collaboratively, helping you understand what your nervous system has been carrying and develop safer, more sustainable ways of coping. Many of the people I support have experienced trauma, or long-standing emotional patterns that feel hard to change alone. My goal is to help you take those first steps towards meaningful change.
I offer face-to-face counselling in the Maidstone area (a rural setting, in Chart Sutton). I offer face-to-face, individual counselling at Green Porch NHS Medical Centre in Sittingbourne. I worked at a substance rehabilitation centre, supporting clients weekly with addiction (2023-2026). Please contact me to find out my current availability.
