About me

Is 2025 the year you finally want to move forward ? Is it time to turn the page ? . Let's create the change your seeking. Whether your dealing with anxiety or depression, family struggles or trauma . Now is the time to allow yourself to shine the light on your personal growth and wellbeing. Its your time to break free of what has been holding you back and embrace a more brighter and more balanced future.  

Not Sure where to start ? Take advantage of the free 30min consultation. It's a free no obligation opportunity to discuss your concerns and explore how counselling can help you take the first steps forward to lasting change. 

 Healing Horizons acknowledges that not one size fits all in therapy. I offer two different ways to experience counselling; groups and individuals.

 My website consists of 3 different sections relating to: 

  • Individual Counselling (In person and Online) - Great Portland Street &Tunbridge Wells
  • Group Therapy – Great Portland Street & Tunbridge Wells
  • Affordable Counselling - Tunbridge Wells 

Please scroll down to the relevant area. 

Why me? 

I will sit alongside you in a non-judgemental way throughout your journey. When you come into therapy I want you to feel safe, safe to share, safe in our relationship, in order to express your struggles. You’ll experience me as empathetic, open-minded, compassionate, confident and culturally aware. I am also a therapist who has lived experience of many of the areas that i help people to heal from. Amongst the colourful emotions that emerge from therapy, let’s not forget to smile and laugh. 

My hopes for you.

I want you to experience looking at life through a different lens. Helping you to develop an understanding and awareness of who you are. We are a combination of different ages and stages and our goal is to be compassionate of all aspects of ourselves.

A common analogy is to imagine you are a bus, with lots of different passengers (our different parts) with one passenger driving the bus at any one time. A different trigger can cause a different passenger to take over the driving seat.

I want you to know how to manage emotions, challenging situations and to start showing up as “authentic you”; with confidence, understanding, inner calm and acceptance.

We will work on releasing feelings instead of being hijacked by them. Our goal is to create a meaningful life stepping away from our limiting beliefs and old patterns.

  • What do you want your life to be about? 
  • What’s important to you? 
  • What do you want more of? 
  • What are your values?
  • What gives your life purpose?

In Person Individual Therapy – 50 min session weekly

We’ll have a 50 minute session weekly. In these sessions, we’ll work to make sense of your concerns. One size doesn’t fit all so we can explore how we might connect to these emotions through a variety of methods. 

Book Now: Click Email OR Get in Touch. 

Location: 20 Great Portland Street Mondays from slots 12.30pm, 1.30pm, 2.30pm.

Online Therapy - 50 sessions weekly.

What is important about online therapy is that you are in a place where you feel safe, and comfortable and have an opportunity to talk freely without disruption. You will need a secure internet connection and private space.

Group Therapy: 12 weeks/90 minute sessions weekly.

Why Groups? 

Do you feel alone in the crowd? Maybe you struggle to share with friends or maybe you feel like you don’t belong. Are you masking what’s really going on for you with your wellbeing? Are you trying to cope ? . 

Often the barrier to group therapy is getting your foot in the door. Once you’ve arrived, it’s a huge milestone and you will be greeted with a smile and a warm welcome.

As a group facilitator, I have experience of working with groups. They have a significant impact on improving people’s wellbeing. We live in a community that is individualist and it’s difficult to navigate this when we don’t often have a chance to share and belong. 

Group Therapy is a powerful and a potent way of understanding shared humanity and relational difficulties.

What will you get from this: 

A chance to hear that you are not alone

An opportunity to share your voice

A place where you connect with other who share similar struggles

Groups support many aspects of the human experience such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relational dynamics

A structured group that is facilitated by an accredited therapist 

What you gain from group therapy:

You feel hopeful from when you first arrive

Value the importance of self-care

Take ownership of your own wellbeing

Take important steps for your recovery and healing
