I currently offer sessions in person in Tunbridge Wells and online, with daytime and some evening availability.

Any planned time away from the practice will be discussed with existing clients in advance.

How we work together matters. Feeling able to be honest and fully yourself is an important part of the process.

I work as an integrative therapeutic counsellor, drawing from different approaches and adapting the work around you rather than following a fixed model. I offer a steady, respectful relationship where you do not have to perform, explain yourself perfectly, or hold everything together.

We begin with what has brought you to counselling and what you hope might feel different. You may be struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, relationships or changes in your life, or finding that something you have been managing for a long time has become harder to carry. I also work with people living with Type 1 diabetes and other long-term health conditions, where the emotional impact can reach far beyond the practical or medical aspects of living with a condition.

I also work with people in creative fields, where questions around identity, confidence, self-worth, perfectionism and the pressures of being seen or judged can sometimes become difficult to navigate.

Sessions may involve exploring current challenges, reflecting on past experiences or relational patterns, and developing a clearer understanding of how these continue to shape your life in the present. Sometimes the work is about understanding; sometimes it is about change. Often, it is both.

I work at a pace that feels manageable for you. Some clients want room to think and feel more deeply; others are looking for support with a specific situation, feeling, relationship or decision.

Where helpful, I can also bring a gentle coaching perspective into the counselling work, supporting reflection, clarifying goals and considering practical next steps. This is always collaborative and guided by your needs, boundaries and circumstances.

Before arranging a first session, I offer a free initial telephone call. This gives us an opportunity to talk through what has brought you to counselling, answer any questions you may have, and consider whether working together feels right for you.

Sessions last 50 minutes and usually take place weekly, offering consistency and continuity. Some clients attend counselling for support with a specific difficulty, while others choose longer-term work to explore deeper patterns, relationships and experiences.

I offer sessions in person from my private counselling room in Tunbridge Wells, as well as online counselling across the UK. My practice is based close to The Pantiles, with free parking available.

I practise within clear professional boundaries, maintain regular clinical supervision, and work in accordance with the ±«ÓãÊÓƵEthical Framework.

The first session gives us time to begin understanding what has led you to seek counselling and what support you may need.

I will ask some questions about your current circumstances, relevant background, support network, and anything important for me to know before we begin working together. This helps me understand how best to support you and whether I am the right person to work with you.

We will also go through the practical side of therapy, including confidentiality, boundaries, fees, cancellations and how sessions are structured. These details will be included in a counselling agreement, so we both have a clear and shared understanding from the start.

There will be time for you to ask questions, and you do not need to decide everything straight away. The first session is a chance to begin gently and see how it feels.
