A place for real, raw and honest conversation
Hello
I imagine that you're here because you're struggling.
Welcome, really welcome.
You're in good company. Struggle, messiness and uncertainty are inherent to being human. Yet often we shame ourselves, believing it’s somehow not okay or acceptable to feel and be the way we are.
If we meet, you don’t need to be a certain way, or get anything ‘right’.
I’d just love to meet you as you are.
That’s what all us humans long for - to be met, accepted and loved just as we are.
Heart to heart, soul to soul.
It’s in relationships like this that healing begins.
Working with me
What matters most when deciding whether you want to work with me is how you feel in my company.
I would hope that counselling gives you a sense of clarity, peace and fulfillment and that you’re energised and enlivened by the work.
But you wont always feel comfortable.
Counselling can be hard work and at times you might feel challenged, confronted and even frustrated.
If we’re a good fit, you’ll feel safe to be yourself and speak your truth, knowing that I’ll meet you - whatever your feeling or thinking - with respect, care, and without judgment.
It’s a kind of chemistry. You'll get a gut feeling if it feels right.
For me, everything you are experiencing, or have experienced, matters. Nothing is too much or too small, it’s all welcome and deserves a space to be heard.
I offer a free 30 minute video conversation where you can speak what’s on your mind and explore what you’d like from counselling.
It’s a space to be heard, without pressure, and to get a sense of whether it feels good to share yourself with me. If you’d like this, you can book a time using the link below.
I’d love to hear from you
Who I work with
I have a special interest in working with people whose struggles are related to
Shame
Grief (which might be related to a death, loss or significant life change)
Neurodiversity
Parenting
Anxiety
Chronic pain and illness
Shame resonates with most people but if you don’t recognise yourself in any of the above and would like to work with me, get in touch. I will always tell you if I believe there is someone more qualified or suited to working with your needs.
How I work
I work online and in person (in Tunbridge Wells and Benenden, Kent)
In person work always begins indoors but there is access to open green space should you choose to work outside.
Officially, I am an integrative transpersonal psychotherapeutic counsellor but I have a twenty year history in physiotherapy, yoga therapy, breathwork and health coaching. This means I take a holistic and integrative approach to counselling.
If you want to sit and talk, we’ll do just that. But if you’d rather, you can walk, move or stretch on a yoga mat. If talking feels difficult, I can support you to use breathwork, art, movement or images to give expression to what can’t be spoken.
We’ll always collaborate; I’ll offer ideas, and you can choose what feels right for you.
I offer both short-term and open-ended counselling.
Sessions are 50 minutes and cost between £70 and £120 depending on what is affordable for you.
A limited number of low cost counselling sessions (£20 per 50min) are available for young people (aged 18-26) who have experienced the death of, or are facing the death of a parent, sibling or partner. Please get in touch for availability
