Counselling
Do you feel that life’s stresses, anxieties, and difficulties are weighing you down?
Working with me, you will explore what is getting you stuck in life so you can discover, heal, and grow. I offer support in an empathetic, non-judgemental way. I have experience helping those with a wide range of issues in a safe therapeutic space, allowing you to explore your inner strengths and resources, building on these to improve your well-being and self-growth.
Having received counselling myself, I know that going into counselling can take courage, so I will try my best to put you at ease and assist you through the process.
My location
Whether you choose to meet me online, outside in nature, or in my garden room in Tunbridge Wells, you will have a confidential space to talk about concerns and problems.

We will work collaboratively throughout the process and whether therapy is short or long term, there will be regular points at which we will review to ensure you are getting the right help and support. I generally work with people for a minimum of six sessions but as a general guideline, shorter therapy will be for more specific issues and longer therapy for more complex issues.
