ABOUT ME
I am a fully-qualified counsellor and have been successfully counselling clients face-to-face in Kent and online across the UK. If you are feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands, my services aim to introduce clarity and self-motivation.
I offer a confidential and safe environment in which you can explore and process the difficulties you are facing.
This will be a non-judgemental space where we can discuss as much or as little as you would like, you lead the way. I aim to create an environment where you feel calm and cared for, as well as being able to trust in me with your thoughts and concerns no matter how big or small. All clients are treated with respect and empathy.
I am a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and I work within their ethical and professional framework, which keeps you, the client, at the centre of everything that I do.
Offering accessible and personalised therapy to improve your mental health and wellbeing.

Counselling options
I offer a range of counselling options to suit your needs and preferences. Whether you prefer in-person sessions, phone conversations or video calls, we can work together in a way that feels right for you.
In-person counselling
For those who value face-to-face appointment, I offer in-person sessions in Medway and Maidstone areas of Kent.
These sessions are 50 minutes long and provide a welcoming and safe space for us to explore your thoughts and feelings together.
Telephone counselling
If you prefer the flexibility of talking from the comfort of your own space, telephone counselling might be right for you.
These sessions last 1 hour and can take place wherever you are, making them a convenient and effective option.
Video call counselling
For those who want a face-to-face appointment but aren't in my local areas, video call counselling is a great alternative. These sessions are 1 hour long and allow us to connect virtually while maintaining a personal and supportive experience.
Alternative counselling options
In addition to these traditional counselling formats, I also off alternative approaches such as Walk and Talk therapy, and Check-Ins.
These options provide additional flexibility and cater to different needs and preferences.
You can find more details about these on their dedicated sections of the website.

Check-in sessions
Prioritise your wellbeing with check-in sessions. Life can get busy but your wellbeing matters.
Each 30 minute session is designed to help you:
Recharge

Reflect
Gain insights into your mental emotional and physical health
Reconnect
Set meaningful goals and rediscover balance
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed or just need a space to check-in with yourself, I am here to support you

Walk & talk
Some clients may be more comfortable walking and talking and find it easier to start discussing their problems when strolling outdoors.
Perhaps you have tried traditional counselling before and it was not for you, walking and talking therapy could be an excellent alternative. The client may set the pace and you do not need to be super fit to do this. Some people feel freer and more relaxed outdoors. Conversations can often flow easier as we walk.

SERVICES
Working creatively
Working creatively is entirely optional and not something we need to include in your sessions unless requested.
Being creative can help us explore emotions and challenges in ways that words sometimes cannot.
During our sessions, we can incorporate creative activities tailored to your needs, such as:
Sketching or colouring
These activities can offer a calming outlet for emotions and help you express thoughts that may be hard to verbalise.
Using stones
Holding or arranging stones can help you feel grounded and bring a sense of physical connection when emotions feel overwhelming. We can even paint them as a way to reflect on feelings and experiences.
Other creative tools
From tactile objects to guided imagery, we'll explore techniques that make you feel comfortable and supported.
These approaches aren't about creating art for art's sake - they're about creating space to understand yourself better, manage stress, and feel more at ease in expressing what is on your mind.
Lets work together to find the methods that resonate most with you.
