About Me
I am a qualified counsellor who can offer support to adults and young people through various life struggles and challenges. My style is non directive, I do not offer advice nor fix problems, but encourage empowerment, cultivate self reliance, and highlight options and alternatives, to enable an individual to find the solutions within themselves.
My counselling approach holds the individual's needs at the heart of the work, providing a confidential space to explore difficulties and challenges that life inevitably throws at us all at one time or another.
I have a diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, this is an integrative qualification which means I have an understanding of a variety of counselling approaches which I can draw upon.
Organisations I have experience with are Rape Crisis, bereavement counselling at a local hospice and Place2Be working with parents and children.
I am based in Frittenden TN17, a quiet village close to Cranbrook in Kent. My counselling room provides a relaxing and private space.

People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don't find myself saying, "Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner." I don't try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds.
