About me
A warm welcome from Layide.
I have over 10 years experience of counselling and understand that:
The reality of asking for help and support when faced with challenges can be quite daunting.
We all go through difficult periods of making decisions or changes that appear to be overwhelming and as the saying goes, “can’t see the trees from the woods”. Through the therapeutic relationship between yourself and I, change, recovery and healing can take place on your journey where we can both begin to, see the trees looking so beautifully set apart from the woods.I strongly believe that you have the power inside of you to overcome struggles, pain and conflict so that you can flourish and become the person you truly are.
I will offer you a safe, private and peaceful space to talk about the difficulties you are facing, to reflect on past experiences that may have left you anxious or depressed, and to work alongside you in making the changes that you feel you need.
It really can help to share your thoughts and feelings in a non judgemental and confidential environment.
I am based in the Dartford area of Kent near the main train station.

Member organisations
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.
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).
