About me
I offer individual counselling and counselling supervision.
If you are feeling tired and perhaps worn out with negative emotions, overwhelmed, anxious or unsure of how to move yourself to a place where things feel better. I can help you to find your way to an easier more comfortable way of being with yourself. I offer a non-judgemental, empathetic, compassionate space, where I work alongside you to help you to safely explore your thoughts and emotions at your own pace. I feel that counselling does not need to be seen as a last resort, but rather a way of finding and maintaining emotional and psychological balance. We all need to find our own individual way of coping with the impact of life on our individual life experiences.
I have my own comfortable, quiet and private therapy room with easy parking and a bus stop just a few paces away. I am located a few miles from Canterbury city centre.
I offer sessions during the week that include early evenings.
I welcome all enquiries and currently do not have a waiting list.
You have come this far, the next step is to email me or call 07826 644364 to talk about what you feel you need to get out of counselling and if you are happy we can arrange a second weekly, fortnightly session or monthly.

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.
