ABOUT ME 

I am an experienced BACP registered Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Nurse. I have a Masters in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling and 20 years of clinical experience in the NHS; including Mental Health, Cancer Care, Palliative Care and HIV/AIDS. I am situated in Tunbridge Wells and provide both short term solution based therapy and long term therapy for adults and young people aged 16 and over.

As an integrative therapist, I combine different theoretical approaches (humanistic, cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic) to enable a flexible and individual approach to working with each client’s individual needs. I offer both short and long term therapy, depending on each client’s needs and expectations of therapy. The sessions last 50 minutes and usually occur once a week.

I understand that the thought of therapy can be difficult; sharing painful experiences, fears and expectations may feel daunting, but therapy provides a warm and supportive space, where you can feel listened to and explore what is going on without judgment. 

You may be considering therapy for various reasons; relationship issues, trauma, bereavement, anxiety, stress, or you may feel stuck and unable to move forward in life. In all these instances therapy can help to unpack your difficulties, gain clarity on a situation and offer a new perspective. My role is not to give advice, but to facilitate understanding of your choices, motivations and patterns of behaviour. I believe you are the expert on yourself and so my approach is to work together to explore your difficulties and find some resolution. This can include building emotional resilience, making changes in your life or coming to terms with a difficult situation.
