Counselling in Tunbridge Wells

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 practise humanistic integrative counselling. I am also a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and an accredited, registered member of the NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society), 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 counselled people living with terminal illness and coping with bereavement and loss. In addition, I have helped over 70 clients internationally with a wide variety of mental health needs on the Betterhelp platform. I have to date received many highly positive reviews. Now I am enjoying concentrating my business from my practice in Tunbridge Wells after some time dividing my time between my home town and Golders Green in London. I have also spent time as a volunteer, giving over 100 hours of counselling, supporting unpaid carers. I have seen first-hand the many levels of trauma often caused by these big life events.  I have spent time working with people anywhere from those who struggle in areas such as the Arts giving low-cost counselling to people living with mental ill health in the creative industries to people living day to day with the effects of complex childhood and adult trauma. 

Even with extensive experience in counselling, I am forever learning about people.  My career keeps me challenged and excited to go to work every day.  My clients never cease to amaze and humble me.

I am privileged to observe when sheer inner strength and determination can gain momentum and people turn their lives around to become more fulfilled.  Proving that even in our darkest moments we can all find the faintest of lights and it is my privilege to nurture that faint light into a bright and burning flame.
