About me
Many people reach out for therapy when something no longer feels manageable. That might be anxiety, stress, low mood, relationship difficulties, anger, compulsive behaviours, addiction, or simply feeling stuck in patterns you do not fully understand. Often, what looks like the problem on the surface has been a way of coping or getting through life for a long time.
My approach is straightforward, down-to-earth, and focused on helping you understand what is happening beneath the surface so meaningful change becomes possible. Therapy is not about judgement or labels. It is about making sense of your experiences, understanding yourself more clearly, and finding practical ways forward that genuinely work for you.
I offer face-to-face counselling near West Malling and online therapy across the UK. Sessions can be short or longer term, weekly or flexible around work, family life, and financial commitments.
Alongside general counselling and psychotherapy, I have additional training and experience working with addiction and compulsive behaviours including alcohol, drugs, gambling, porn use, compulsive sexual behaviour, internet use, and shopping. I also work regularly with men struggling to talk openly about emotional or personal difficulties.
I am a member of the following bodies which reflects my level of training and professional development. This assures clients I can work safely and appropriately to your benefit..

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.
