About me
Relationship Therapist & Couples Counsellor in Kent & London
When your relationship doesn't feel like it used to
Are you constantly arguing, emotionally disconnected, struggling with intimacy or wondering where your relationship is heading?
Perhaps trust has been damaged by an affair or betrayal. Maybe you feel more like housemates than partners. Or perhaps you've reached the point where you're asking yourself, "Can this relationship be repaired?"
You don't have to wait until things become unbearable before seeking help.
I am a qualified Relationship and Couples Counsellor offering relationship therapy for couples and individuals in West-Malling, Kent, Soho, London and online.
One of the most important things to know is that you can get support with relationship issues on your own. Sometimes one partner recognises that something isn't right while the other isn't ready, doesn't want to attend, or simply doesn't know how to begin.
Maybe you have tried counselling and have been told by your partner "It doesn't work" this doesn't have to be a barrier to getting support for yourself. Some people are just not ready and that's ok too.
You can still make a difference.
I work with individuals who want to understand their relationship, change unhelpful patterns, improve communication, rebuild confidence, navigate betrayal or decide what they want from the relationship going forward.
You don't have to make that decision before coming to therapy.
How I can help
I support couples and individuals with relationship difficulties including:
Communication difficulties and recurring arguments
Emotional distance and feeling disconnected
Loss of closeness or intimacy
Affairs, betrayal and broken trust
Difficulties rebuilding trust after hurt
Feeling more like housemates than partners
Differences in needs, expectations or values
Parenting and blended-family pressures
Relationship difficulties following major life changes
Separation and uncertainty about whether to stay or leave
The impact of stress, work and demanding lifestyles on relationships
Understanding repeated patterns within relationships
I also work individually with people experiencing anxiety, low mood, stress and burnout, bereavement, trauma and difficulties with confidence or self-esteem.
A space to understand what is really happening
Relationship difficulties are rarely just about the argument you had yesterday.
Often there are deeper patterns underneath them — unmet needs, hurt, fear, expectations, attachment, past experiences or ways of communicating that have gradually become established.
My approach is warm, collaborative and non-judgemental. I won't tell you what you should do or make decisions for you.
Instead, I will help you slow things down, understand what is happening beneath the surface and explore what you want to change.
My work is trauma-informed and tailored to the individual or couple in front of me. I have experience working with neurodiverse clients and offer an affirming environment for LGBTQ+ individuals and couples.
My experience and qualifications
I hold a Level 5 Diploma in Relationship and Couples Counselling and a Level 4 Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy.
I am a member of the BACP and a Professional Associate of COSRT. I am also a trauma-informed practitioner and group facilitator, with more than 10 years' experience supporting people through difficult periods of their lives and relationships.
My earlier professional experience included working within a Children's Centre and as a foster parent, giving me additional understanding of family dynamics, attachment and complex life circumstances.
Today, my work is focused on private practice with adults and couples.
Where I work
I offer appointments from counselling rooms in West Malling, Kent and Soho London, as well as online counselling across the UK and Europe.
Appointments are available during the day, with evening and some weekend availability.
Sessions are 50 or 90 minutes.
Taking the first step
You don't need to know exactly what is wrong before you contact me.
You don't need to know whether your relationship can be saved.
And you don't need your partner to agree to counselling before you seek support.
If something in your relationship isn't working, we can start by simply talking about what is happening and seeing whether I am the right person to help.
I offer a free 15-minute initial consultation, giving us an opportunity to briefly discuss what you're looking for and decide whether working together feels right.
If you're ready to take that first step, please get in touch.
Training, qualifications & experience
Holding a Level 4 Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy, along with a Level 5 Diploma in Relationship and Couples Counselling, I bring a strong foundation in mental health and well-being to my practice.
I have previously worked in a Children's centre and as a foster parent. I have experience of the care system, supporting teens during their time in care and parents whose children are currently in care.
For the last few years I have solely worked in private practice, having offices in West-Malling in KENT and Soho in London. I offer online counselling throughout the UK and Europe.
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.
