When you come to me for support, I listen with empathy, sensitivity, and without judgment. I am committed to understanding your unique story, and I warmly welcome you as you are. I am especially interested in how our early experiences shape who we become and continue to affect us throughout our lives. Having spent many years working with young people who have experienced trauma, I bring a deep awareness of how those early challenges can echo into adulthood. I have also valued the opportunity to support individuals affected by domestic abuse, helping them find strength, healing, and hope and currently work with West Kent Mind.

I often work with adults who appear to cope well on the outside, but internally feel overwhelmed, stuck in overthinking, emotionally exhausted or disconnected from themselves. Many come with anxiety, OCD, trauma-related difficulties, burnout, low mood or relationship patterns they are struggling to change. I aim to provide a supportive and collaborative space where we build a shared understanding of what may be keeping difficulties going, while tailoring therapy to the individual so that change feels meaningful, practical and lasting.

Have you experienced loss and need help coping? Loss can affect every part of our lives, leaving us feeling stuck, disconnected, and overwhelmed. It’s not just emotional- it can impact your energy, motivation, and self-worth. Whether it’s the passing of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a change in your health or career, or even a growing sense of disconnection from who you once were, loss can take many forms. On the outside, you may seem strong and in control, but inside, you might feel like you’re losing touch with yourself. If you’re feeling anxious, exhausted, or isolated, I’m here to help you process these emotions.

I work with people who are in some way feeling inner distress. Perhaps they've faced something painful or traumatising in the past and the emotional residue of it remains inside. Perhaps they have experienced loss, or are facing grief - for a loved one, for a time, even for themselves (that feeling of who you really are in your own life). They might be struggling with a situation that feels difficult, even overwhelming, (anything from a relationship or a work problem, to an inner understanding of their own sexual or gender identity). They might wake each day to a feeling of anxiety or dread, drained of energy and facing depression.

I work as a Complex Trauma/Childhood Abuse & Relationship Therapist, supporting individuals/couples who are "stuck", experiencing issues of high anxiety; anger; stress and distress around a life events, especially if you have a learning disability or autism. Therapy with me is about managing and reducing the impact. If it is not dealt with sooner, it can trigger hidden deeper issues related to past events related to unspeakable trauma, childhood abuse or dissociation (a sense of detachment from your former self), or even suicidal thoughts, identity issues "Who am I?" Restoring a sense of calm and balance in life stops this chaos.

You might be holding everything together on the outside - managing work or studies, family, friends and everyday responsibilities - yet inside feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or not like yourself.
This can be especially true during times of change, such as shifts in family life, relationship difficulties, loss, career changes, or uncertainties about the future. At these points, you may find yourself feeling irritable, withdrawn, emotionally drained, or simply aware that something doesn’t feel right.
I work with adults (16+) and parents who are navigating periods of change and pressure, offering both short-term and open-ended therapy.

Are you feeling angry, anxious, overwhelmed or suffering from low mood? Has something recently happened to you that you need to talk about with someone who won’t judge but who can help you make sense of things? Perhaps you’ve had a traumatic or difficult experience that you need to talk over? Maybe you wake up each day feeling unfulfilled and have a sense that there must be more to life than this? It may be that you are experiencing something new, such as parenthood, which is bringing up uncomfortable memories of your past? Whatever the presenting concern, I'm here to help.

Sometimes emotions such as anxiety, sadness, anger or worry can become overwhelming for children and young people. Parents may notice this through changes in behaviour, school difficulties, friendship problems, low confidence, emotional outbursts or withdrawal. Psychotherapy can help your child make sense of what they are feeling and put those feelings into words. In a confidential, supportive environment, they can explore the experiences behind their distress, develop healthier ways of expressing themselves, strengthen relationships and build confidence, resilience and emotional wellbeing.

I have worked as a counsellor and psycho sexual therapist for over 30 years and I still find it as fascinating and rewarding now as when I started. I am COSRT and Relate accredited. I work with individuals, couples, families. I aim to support my clients to clarify the issues that are hindering their development and relationships in an effective way, while developing a greater understanding of the causes of their current problems and issues. In some cases the counselling can be quite specific and goal orientated; yet with others it can be more exploratory and pastoral. Most often it can include both, depending on the need.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
Counsellors and Psychotherapists listed in the directory are members of the main professional associations, mainly the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). Most Psychologists in the directory are accredited members of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and/or are registered in the Health and Care Professions Council (HPCP).
Providers whose professional membership or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Given that professional memberships are not a statutory requirement for psychotherapists and counsellors in the UK, certain qualified professionals or organisations may choose not to maintain such memberships despite possessing the necessary qualifications. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologists can all provide counselling or talking therapy and have credentials and experience that enable them to do so in the UK. Psychologists have earned a degree in psychology and many are members of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and have completed a postgraduate qualification in a specialism. Counsellors and Psychotherapists are not required to have a psychology degree, but to belong to a professional organisation such as the BACP or UKCP, they are required to have completed a training course as well as clinical and supervision hours.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the UK could be between £30 - £60 when seeing a counsellor and £60 - £150 and up when seeing a clinical psychologist. If you have private insurance, your plan may cover some if not all of your sessions. You should contact your insurance provider to determine if they provide coverage for therapy sessions and to determine what, if any, requirements they might have in order for your sessions to be covered, such as a referral from your GP or medical specialist.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
If you are struggling to access therapy due to budget constraints, you could also consider public funded mental health services. The NHS Talking therapies programme offers free of charge counselling for common mental health problems like anxiety and depression. The service is available to anyone registered with a GP, though you do not necessarily need to be referred by your GP and can refer yourself directly to a Talking therapies service. The service will provide different solutions, including group and individual therapy, for a limited number of sessions which are generally up to six.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Therapists who are part of a professional organisation such as the BACP, the UKCP, or BPS are bound by an ethical framework that requires them to uphold a confidentiality agreement. Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship and only under specific circumstances, such as when there has been participation in a criminal act or act of terror, or if there is potential or known harm to the client or others, will a therapist be obligated to break the agreement. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed during the initial consultation.
