About me
Specialist Counselling & Psychotherapy for Adults & Children
Hello, I’m Tasha. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself, your child, or a loved one, you’re in the right place.
If life feels harder than it should or you’re not quite feeling yourself, counselling can help, and I want to help you.
I work in a way that is open, thoughtful, and relational, offering therapy where you don’t need to perform, find the right words, or arrive with everything figured out. We work at your pace, focusing on what feels most important to you.
My Therapeutic Approach:
My approach is integrative, holistic, and person-centred. I work with you as a whole person, tailoring therapy to your individual needs rather than fitting you into one model. Depending on what feels helpful, I may draw on CBT-informed tools, inner-child work, play and creative approaches, or reflective methods.
As a trauma-informed, strengths-based practitioner, I believe change becomes possible when people feel safe, understood, and accepted. Therapy can support you to understand patterns, build trust in yourself, and feel more grounded and connected in your life.

About me:
Before training as a counsellor, I spent 24 years working as a teacher in both private and public schools across Southeast Kent. I supported children and young people aged 5–18 through academic pressure, emotional difficulties, and significant life changes.
I became a counsellor because I understand how it feels to be overwhelmed or unsure where to turn, even when appearing fine on the outside. That lived experience strongly shapes how I work today.
I work in schools and private practice, offering short- and long-term counselling to children and adults. I believe in the quiet impact of being truly listened to. Therapy doesn’t have to be about being fixed; often it’s about slowing down, making sense of what’s happening, and reconnecting with your own inner resources.
Inclusivity & Diversity:
I offer a welcoming, inclusive space where you or your child is respected and valued. I work with people from all backgrounds and lived experiences. I welcome LGBTQIA+ individuals and approach our work with openness, curiosity, and care. Diversity is recognised and held thoughtfully within my practice.
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.

Further information
Counselling for Adults & Young People:
Life can feel heavy at times. You may be coping on the outside while struggling underneath, or facing a clear challenge such as grief, anxiety, relationship breakdown, or a major life transition.
In our sessions, I am fully present with you. We will explore what’s happening both on the surface and beneath it, with care and compassion.
Counselling for Children:
Children experience big feelings just as deeply as adults, often without the words to explain them.
I offer a warm, steady space where children can express themselves in ways that feel natural to them. Depending on their age and needs, this may include play, creativity, stories, art, movement, or simple conversation.
Over time, children often gain a better understanding of themselves, feel more secure, and develop tools to manage their emotions with confidence.
I have particular experience supporting neurodivergent children, including those with autism, ADHD, sensory differences, and emotional regulation difficulties.
