A truly individual service, built around the needs of each person who comes to see me.
I have a lot of experience, with five years as a counsellor. My manner is warm and professional, and I will build therapy around the particular needs of each person who comes to see me. I draw on all my training and expertise in several therapeutic models to ensure I offer a truly individual service.
I have completed in-depth training in humanistic and integrative therapy and attend regular training. I am an IFS-informed therapist who uses parts work to help understand more of our internal system.
I’ve compiled a list of questions you might have about me and my sessions. If you think of any more, please let me know.
Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin establishing a comfortable, genuine connection. We will discuss what has brought you to therapy, explore what you hope to gain, and go over practical details like scheduling and confidentiality. You can share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with — there is no pressure to dive straight into difficult topics right away.
If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, or facing major life changes, counselling can provide a dedicated space to process those feelings. You don’t need to be at a breaking point or experiencing a crisis to benefit from therapy. If you feel a desire to understand yourself better, move past old habits, or cultivate greater peace and resilience, counselling can offer the support you need.
That is completely normal and happens more often than you might think. Therapy is a collaborative journey, and you don’t need to come prepared with a polished agenda. Sitting in silence or starting with whatever is top of mind, no matter how small, is entirely okay. I will gently guide our conversation, helping you uncover what wants attention at your own pace.
Yes, I offer both face-to-face sessions at my practice in Maidstone and online video sessions. Whether you prefer the personal presence of an in-person session or the convenience of meeting online from your own home, we can choose the format that best fits your lifestyle and comfort level.
Because every individual’s journey is unique, the number of sessions varies from person to person. Some clients benefit from short-term counselling focused on a specific issue, while others choose longer-term, open-ended therapy to explore deeper patterns. We will regularly review our work together to ensure you feel supported and in control of your progress.
Individual sessions last 1 hour. Most clients find that meeting weekly provides the consistency needed to build trust and maintain momentum, especially at the beginning. We can adjust frequency as you progress to suit your needs and schedule.
Yes, confidentiality is a core foundation of our therapeutic work. Everything you share stays between us, adhering to the Ethical Framework of the BACP. The only rare exceptions involve legal requirements or immediate safety concerns regarding yourself or others, which I would always aim to discuss with you directly beforehand whenever possible.
My practice is warm, integrative, and personalised to your individual needs. I draw on humanistic principles and parts work (IFS-informed therapy) to help you understand your internal system, choices, and underlying emotions. By approaching yourself with compassion rather than judgment, we can explore old patterns, resolve unexpected crises, and create meaningful, lasting change.
The therapeutic relationship is central to effective counselling, and feeling at ease with your therapist is vital. If at any point you feel we aren’t the right fit, you are under no obligation to continue. I welcome open communication about how therapy is feeling for you, and I am always happy to help direct you toward alternative support if needed.
Sessions are priced individually, with reduced rates available for students, low-income clients, and NHS staff. To respect our shared time, I request at least 24 to 48 hours’ notice for cancellations. Full fee structures and specific cancellation terms will be shared clearly prior to our first session so there are no surprises.
Taking the first step can feel daunting, but getting started is straightforward. You can reach out via email or telephone to arrange an initial chat. This brief connection allows us to talk through what you’re looking for and find a suitable time to schedule your first full session.
Whether you’re not sure what’s troubling you or ready to book, I’m happy to talk it through — I'll get back to you within 48 hours.
