About me

You are at a crossroads in your life, that’s why you’re looking for a counsellor.

You're a unique person. Past events can affect us for a long time. I can help you with that. I've worked with adults and young people. I'll follow your lead and work with you in the way that's best for you. The focus is always on you and what you want and need.

I offer consultations at two locations, one in Maidstone and another in Teston, both with free parking.

My approach is compassionate and empathetic, encouraging a relationship based on trust and providing a warm, safe, respectful, and non-judgmental environment.

I am your local counsellor. I understand that taking this first step is a hard one. It has many challenges, but you are in the right place.

I offer a free initial consultation, face-to-face or by telephone, to discuss your needs. This initial consultation is free, and there is no obligation to book further appointments.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Member organisations

Registered / Accredited

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.

NCPS
National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS)

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
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
