About me
​
​
I am a fully qualified professional counsellor and an accredited member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society.
​
I trained as an integrative counsellor which means that I offer a variety of approaches based on what works for you: a non-judgmental, empathic ear, unflinching support to explore difficult experiences and trauma, or perhaps the opportunity to work on new ways of thinking and dealing with negative behaviour patterns.
​
Fundamentally, I believe that you are the expert in your own life. I offer tailored support, understanding, reflection and gentle challenge so that you are empowered to find your own path forward. Clients receive a warm, friendly welcome, acceptance and confidentiality.
My background is in education (BA Hons, PGCE)
having taught in secondary and primary schools for 30 years.
I have offered counselling at Lighthouse 43 in Cheriton and at New Romney Counselling Service.
​
I have an enhanced DBS check and I am fully insured.
​
I am able to offer counselling in person or online.
I offer a free introductory telephone session so that you can decide if I am the right fit for you.
​
Sessions are £45 for 50 minutes
Day and early evening availability
​
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions
It can feel very hard to reach out, but even harder to remain stuck.
​
I look forward to meeting you
