About me

I am an integrative counsellor qualified to work with adults and children. My approach draws on person-centred, cognitive behavioural (CBT), and psychodynamic therapies, allowing sessions to be tailored to each client’s individual needs. I work with a range of issues including anxiety, low mood, trauma, and neurodiversity, offering a safe and non-judgemental space to explore thoughts and feelings at your own pace.

My practice is supported by additional training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Transactional Analysis (TA), which provide practical tools for managing emotions and relational patterns. I also have training in understanding and supporting neurodivergent clients, including those with autism and ADHD, and adapt my approach accordingly.

I am based in Northfleet and offer both in-person and online sessions. I also provide a free 20-minute consultation to help you decide whether I’m the right counsellor for you. In addition to private sessions, I run a low-cost counselling service with fees starting from £20, aimed at making therapy more accessible for those facing financial difficulty.

Additional information

My standard fee is £45 per session.

I offer a limited low-cost service with spaces currently available. This service is designed to help those who fall through the gaps - with their income often enough to exclude them from gaining support but not enough to provide them the benefit of accessing therapy when they need it. If you think this service could be right for you then reach out and mention you are interested in accessing low-cost therapy.

I also offer a reduced fee of £28 for student counsellors.
