Hello. I support adults and young people (16+) with overwhelming anxiety. Anxiety can often be caused by damaging levels of stress, relationship issues, family conflict, bereavement, significant life changes, low self-esteem, feelings of being stuck, shame and anger. My work with young people additionally supports anxiety around exams, fear of failure, low motivation and relationships. My psychodynamic approach helps you find the root causes of the disconnect in your life and enables change. We can't alter our past but we can change the influence it has on us. You will be understandably nervous for your first session and we can use this time to see if we are a good 'fit'. This gives you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have. We can also explore timeframes - whether you would benefit from open-ended long-term therapy or a shorter time period. I work online and face-to-face in Tunbridge Wells. I worked in the City for ten years as the Director of an international recruitment agency before opting for a different path and worked within an education setting supporting young people's mental health. From here, it felt like a natural progression to complete extensive core training in psychodynamic counselling and starting my own practice. My aim is to help you to find relief and to enable long term sustained change. I am qualified with a Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling from a BACP accredited training course. I also hold a BA (hons) and continue to further my knowledge with comprehensive CPD.
