About me
Your friends might be settling down, changing jobs, moving house, or starting families... and you're wondering where you fit. Maybe life hasn't gone according to plan, or you've ticked all the boxes but still feel something's missing.
You’re getting through the days, showing up to work unmotivated, scrolling late at night looking for answers, and saying yes to things you don't really want to do. As commitments and responsibilities begin to mount up, it becomes exhausting pretending everything’s fine, especially when others seem to hit those milestones with ease.
I support individuals through low confidence and identity issues, helping them develop and rebuild their unique sense of self and find direction.
Some of the benefits of therapy include:
· Helping you feel less tangled up in comparing yourself to others
· Learning to be more at ease with where you are now
· Developing healthier ways to think and cope
· Making choices aligned to your own values
· Understanding who you are, and not who you think you should be
Therapy is an investment in self-understanding, not because something’s wrong, but because you want to do things differently now. I can help you connect to what’s uniquely important to you.
Training, qualifications & experience
As a Humanistic Integrative Counsellor, I believe that you already have the capacity for growth and healing, and it's my role to support you in discovering your potential. For 12 years I've helped people understand what drives their choices, and what keeps them stuck. Working together, you'll get clearer on your needs and values, relationships start to feel a bit more honest, and you stop second guessing yourself so much. We’ll work at your pace, regularly checking in to ensure the process feels right and is meeting your needs.
My background in the arts and media shaped how I work today. I loved helping people feel at ease while they shared their stories - calming nerves, building trust and creating a space where they could be themselves. I realised that the relational side of the work mattered most to me, connecting with people, supporting them gently and helping their voice come through. That's the foundation of my counselling practice now: a grounded encouraging relationship where people feel heard and understood.
My own experience of therapy was transformative and inspired me to help others who feel stuck and unsure of themselves or their next steps. I welcome people from all backgrounds, identities and life experiences, and I'm experienced in working with people who might be exploring, discovering or questioning a neurodivergent identity.
As a registered and accredited member of the BACP I operate within their ethical framework. Accreditation reflects a deeper level of commitment, experience and accountability in my work, and offers clients reassurance that they are in safe, qualified hands.
My practice is welcoming, inclusive and open to all.
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.
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.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Further information
I offer in person and online sessions to individual adult clients in Faversham, Canterbury, Whitstable and surrounding areas, as well as working online with clients from all over the UK. Sessions are usually weekly and last 50 minutes.
Starting counselling can feel daunting, especially if it's your fist time. I offer a free introductory 20 minute phone call - a chance to get a sense of how we might work together, and to ask any questions about the process.
Our first session is about seeing if we're a good fit. I'll explain more about what to expect from counselling and how I can support you, while you share as much or as little as feels right for you on a first meeting. This helps me understand how I can best help.
At the end, I'll give you some information about my practice, so that if you need to, you can take some time to decide whether to book further sessions. Please take that first step and get in touch to arrange a free call.
