About me

I am a fully qualified counsellor and member of the NCS. I offer help for a range of issues such as anxiety, depression, self-confidence and stress at work.

Accepting you need counselling can be difficult for many, but most of us will experience a trauma or something that we will struggle to deal with at sometime in our life and counselling can help. For many it's the fear of what counselling involves that prevent them from getting help.

What to expect at the Initial Consultation

Firstly you will meet me for an initial 30 minute consultation, this will be an opportunity for us to discuss your goals and explore whether we can work together. If you decide to proceed then I will discuss my proposed treatment plan and number of sessions I think you may need.

What happens at the sessions?

Sessions are usually held weekly in my therapy room and last 50 minutes. Together we will explore the issues that you are worrying you, for some it will be necessary to explore the past and for others it will be dealing with the present and you as the client, will be encouraged to do most of the talking in order to get the most out of your sessions.

My Therapy Room

My therapy room is located on the outskirts of the Ashford area (just off Junction 9 of the M20). It is easily accessible and has ample parking.
