Counselling

Do you feel unheard? Maybe you’re experiencing symptoms of anxiety or depression. Perhaps you are living with past or present trauma, bereavement or suffering symptoms of PTSD.

Reaching out for counselling can be hard especially when you are feeling low. My role as your therapist is to really listen. Sometimes clients find it easier to talk more freely to someone unconnected to the people they know or perhaps they feel that no one else is listening . I have personally experienced the significant change that can occur when people take that first step on their counselling journey.

Here you can expect a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space for you to share whatever you are experiencing. Together we can explore your world at a pace that you feel comfortable with.

Who am I

I am a creative counsellor and I practice humanistic integrative counselling. I am also a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and I am registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). I hold an up-to-date DBS certificate.

I use Gestalt and Existential models within a person-centred approach (happy to explain what this means if you want to understand this a bit more) and sometimes I may introduce creative skills to help us identify core emotions, personal values/motivations and ideas.

My Experience

I have worked with many people from counselling those living with terminal illness; coping with bereavement and loss to working for a well-known charity supporting unpaid carers age 16 and over.
I am currently working with Wellbeing in the Arts giving low-cost counselling to people struggling with mental ill health in the creative industries and who are trying to make their way in some very challenging environments. Alongside this I counsel a variety of clients via the BetterHelp platform whilst running my own private practice here in Tunbridge Wells. Even with a wealth of experience I am constantly inspired by the people I work with.
