I’m a qualified and experienced integrative counsellor and psychotherapist and I’m delighted you are here. My practice is located in Tenterden, Kent offering online and in person counselling.
I’m Here to Help
Issues I Commonly Work With
Navigating change with warmth and understanding
Here are some examples of various issues I help clients with.
Anxiety disorders
Conditions such as generalised anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and phobias can be overwhelming, stirring fear and worry within.
Through counselling, I warmly support individuals in exploring the roots of their anxiety, equipping them with coping mechanisms, and teaching relaxation techniques to effectively manage their symptoms. For more on this click here.
Depression
Depression is characterised by persistent sadness, loss of interest, and feelings of hopelessness.
In providing solace, I offer a safe space for individuals to express their emotions, explore the root causes of their depression, and develop strategies to improve mood and reignite a sense of purpose and find joy once more. For more, read here.
Trauma-related issues (e.g. PTSD)
Traumatic experiences can have a profound impact on mental health, leading to symptoms such as intrusive thoughts, nightmares, and emotional distress.
I walk along side you offering empathy and understanding as we process your trauma, find meaning in the pain and restore your sense of safety and self-empowerment.
Relationship difficulties
Challenges in relationships, whether romantic, familial, or social, can cause emotional distress and interpersonal conflicts. Through compassionate counselling, I guide you towards improved communication, conflict resolution, and the development of healthier relationship patterns grounded in empathy, understanding, and respect.
Self-esteem and self-confidence issues
Low self-esteem can impact various aspects of life, affecting self-worth, decision-making, and relationships.
With warm support and gentle guidance, we explore your negative self beliefs, nurturing self-compassion and cultivating a more positive and confident self-image.
Grief and loss
When loss leaves an ache in your heart, my counselling space is a sanctuary of compassion.
Together, we navigate the stages of grief, providing a warm embrace for your emotions. Through our sessions, we discover healthy ways to cope, adjust to your new reality, and honour the memories that live within you. Click here to read more
Stress management
Excessive stress can impact physical and mental well-being.
Together we can develop effective stress management techniques, explore and modify stress-inducing thought patterns, and establish healthy boundaries and self-care practices to promote your wellbeing.
Life transitions
As you embark on major life transitions, uncertainty and emotional challenges may arise.
In my supportive presence, I offer guidance, providing strategies and resources to navigate these changes, adapt, and embrace a fulfilling new chapter in your life.
My Approach & Philosophy
Healing and growth are at the heart of what I do.
I provide therapy sessions in various formats to accommodate your needs. Whether you prefer in person sessions in Tenterden, Kent, online sessions, or telephone sessions, I offer flexibility.
You’re in safe hands.
During our sessions, you can expect to be heard, understood, and supported without judgment. I strongly believe in the power of empathy and its profound impact on the therapeutic process. By fostering a compassionate and non-judgmental environment, my aim is to help you gain insight, clarity, and a deeper understanding of yourself.
As an integrative counsellor, I adeptly blend a range of approaches and techniques to tailor our sessions to your specific needs. To learn more about the modalities I offer, please explore further on this website.
