About me
Taking the first step to look for support can feel overwhelming, and finding the right counsellor really matters. I offer a warm, listening-led and flexible approach, centred on you and your individual needs.
Life can bring many challenges, such as stress, anxiety, loss, relationship difficulties, trauma or times when things simply don't feel right. If you're feeling overwhelmed, uncertain or stuck, you don't have to face it alone. I'll work alongside you with warmth, empathy and without judgement, helping you make sense of what you're experiencing and explore a way forward that feels right for you.
I work in an integrative, person-centred way, drawing on different therapeutic approaches to support your individual needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all model. You lead the process, and we work at your pace, gently exploring what feels difficult, understanding patterns that may be keeping you stuck and developing greater clarity and self-understanding.
I work with adults and young people, offering both in-person counselling in Rainham, Kent and online counselling throughout the UK.
Whether you're looking for short-term support or longer-term counselling, I aim to provide a safe and supportive space where you can feel comfortable being yourself and explore what is happening for you.
If you're curious about whether counselling might be helpful, I offer a free 20-minute consultation. This gives us an opportunity to talk things through, ask questions and see whether working together feels right for you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I blend a variety of counselling skills to best support your needs. With a comprehensive experience of providing therapy and coaching, my intuitive and empathic approach helps guide you through life’s challenges.
I offer a safe, confidential, and comfortable space for in-person sessions in my therapy room in Rainham, Kent. I also offer online sessions making therapy accessible from the comfort of your own home.
Understanding that face-to-face sessions can sometimes feel uncomfortable I offer Walk and Talk therapy sessions. These sessions can take place in beautiful, secure outdoor locations like country parks in or near Rainham.
I am fully insured, hold an enhanced DBS certificate and am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and an accredited registrant of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS).
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
