About me
Life can leave us feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck. It can be difficult to understand our feelings, and sometimes this can be a lot to manage on our own.
Reaching out for counselling can feel like a big step. You may not know exactly what you need or even where to begin. You do not need to have all the answers, we can figure this out together. Counselling can offer you a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can take space for yourself, slow down, talk openly and begin to make sense of your experiences.
I am a qualified Integrative Therapeutic Counsellor, using Person-Centred and Psychodynamic approaches. My way of working is warm, compassionate and collaborative. I believe that every person has their own unique experiences, and I will take the time to understand you as an individual rather than making assumptions about what you should be feeling or how you should cope.
Together, we can explore your thoughts, feelings, relationships and experiences at a pace that feels right for you. My aim is to help you develop a greater understanding of yourself and what may be affecting you, while supporting you to find ways of moving forward that feel meaningful to you.
I work with adults experiencing a range of difficulties, including:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Low mood
- Low self-esteem and confidence
- Stress and overwhelming feelings
- Relationship difficulties
You may also be coming to counselling because something doesn't feel right, even if you can't put your finger on exactly what that is. You don't need to have a particular diagnosis or a clearly defined problem to benefit from having someone listen and support you.
I offer a space where you can be yourself without fear of judgement. I won't tell you what you should do or give you a list of solutions. Instead, we will work together to explore what is happening for you and what you need.
I understand that opening up to someone you don't know can feel daunting. Building a trusting therapeutic relationship is therefore an important part of my work. You set the pace, and we work together to create a space where you feel heard, respected and understood.
Sessions
I offer face-to-face counselling in Sittingbourne, Kent, as well as remote sessions for individuals across the UK.
If you're considering counselling but aren't sure whether it is right for you, I offer a free consultation call. This gives us an opportunity to talk about what you're looking for, answer any questions you may have and see whether you feel comfortable working with me.
You don't have to navigate everything alone. If you're ready to take that first step, I would be very happy to hear from you.

Member organisations
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.
