About me
Situations such as conflict in your relationships, divorce, losing a loved one, coping with anxious thoughts going round and round in your head, feeling low and unmotivated or lacking in self- esteem can be hard to cope with by yourself. I am an experienced counsellor and I offer a warm, supportive relationship in which you can explore your feelings and current difficulties. I can also support you to talk about your past experiences to understand how these might be effecting you and your relationships now. I believe that through counselling you can find a greater understanding and acceptance of yourself as well as new ways to cope and move forward.
Specialisms
I have particular experience of helping people with anxiety and depression, where having your feelings understood, exploring what may be causing these problems and finding ways to cope better can make a real difference.
I help people experiencing difficulties with relationships to understand what is really going on in their relationships, to find ways to reduce conflict and improve communication.
I also offer specialist bereavement counselling which can support you to cope with the pain of grief, giving you the opportunity to be able to express your feelings about your loss, understand the process of loss and to look at areas that may prevent you from being able to accept your loss and move forward with life.
First Contact
I realise that some people feel unsure about what to expect from counselling, but I am very approachable. If you are interested in the possibility of working with me, please message me and I will arrange a free short telephone consultation so that you can get an idea of whether I might be the right counsellor for you and I can answer any initial questions that you have. You will then be able to decide whether you wish to book an initial session.
First Session
I work in a comfortable room at my home near the centre of Tunbridge Wells. You can come and see me in person or I also offer online sessions via zoom. In the first 50 minute session, we will talk through some initial questions about your background and presenting issues and find out what you would like to achieve in counselling.

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.
