Do you feel unheard? Maybe you’re experiencing anxiety or depression. Perhaps you are living with past or present trauma, bereavement?

Reaching out for counselling can feel scary and my role as your therapist is to really listen and to guide you through this process with care, compassion and courage.  You can expect a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space to share whatever you are experiencing. We can explore at a pace that you are comfortable with.

I am a creative counsellor and I practice humanistic integrative counselling. I am a registered member of the BACP and I am ICO registered. I hold an up-to-date DBS certificate.

I use Gestalt and Existential models within a person-centred approach (happy to explain what this means if you want to understand this a bit more) and sometimes I may introduce creative skills to help us identify personal values/motivations and ideas.

My Experience

I have a wealth of experience working with a whole range of clients.  I spent a good deal of time working for a local hospice counselling people living with terminal illness and coping with bereavement and loss. I have seen first-hand the many levels of trauma often caused by these big life events. Alongside this I spent time as a volunteer, giving over 100 hours of counselling, working for a well-known charity supporting unpaid carers. 

I am currently working with Wellbeing in the Arts giving low-cost counselling to people struggling with mental ill health in the creative industries and I am also a therapist for the Betterhelp organisation providing counselling for a range of clients internationally.  Alongside this I run my private practice here in Tunbridge Wells.  Even with extensive experience in counselling I am forever learning about people and it keeps me challenged and excited to go to work everyday.
