Experiencing anxious thoughts and really unhelpful patterns? Or perhaps you have been affected by a traumatic event in your life. I offer you a safe and confidential space to overcome life’s challenges and find ways for you to achieve clarity, and a better understanding of self, including your thoughts, feelings, and behaviour, helping you to work towards a better way of living.
Thank you for visiting my website. You have taken the first step in finding a therapist, which can often feel daunting, but I hope to make the next step easier for you.

My private practice is based in Whitstable, I work from a purpose-built therapy room which is easily accessible from Canterbury, Herne Bay, and Faversham, parking is available on site. I have recently extended my hours to include evenings face to face or online. This is to help those that struggle with childcare or are juggling work, to find the help that they need at this point in their life.
I am an experienced qualified integrative counsellor, meaning I use a variety of approaches to meet your individual needs. I am a Registered Member of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists). I have regular safeguarding training, hold a current DBS and I am fully insured.
Face-to-Face and online appointments are available.
Counselling and therapy in a safe and comfortable place.
With a wealth of life experience behind me, I trained to be a counsellor. I understand that each person’s journey is unique. I am a warm and approachable individual who will work with you through challenging times by providing a confidential, non-judgmental, and supportive relationship, where together we can explore the issues that you are experiencing. Having someone listen to you and sharing your journey in a safe environment can lead to lasting change. My practice is based on a person-centred approach which enables me to tailor our sessions to meet your individual needs. I work with clients with a wide range of issues and experiencing all kinds of difficulties. The process that we work through together will help you make better sense of your feelings and allows you to explore ways to manage your life. My goal is to provide you with the tools and support you need to overcome those challenges that are holding you back. It is important to me that everyone has the best possible opportunity to become the best version of themselves that they can be.
I can work with you face to face or online, please contact me if you want to discuss which option might work better for you.
It is important for both of us that we feel comfortable working together. Before we agree to work together, I can offer a free initial 15-minute telephone call and from this we can arrange your first session if you feel comfortable doing so. Each session will be for 50 minutes, taking place on a weekly basis. The first full session will include the necessary paperwork and an opportunity for you to tell me a little about yourself and what has brought you to counselling. I charge £50 per session payable in advance by bank transfer or in cash on the day.
