My approach

Why Therapy?

​

Sometimes in life we all may find ourselves needing help or someone to talk to. It could be that you're struggling with something from your past; are you finding it hard to cope with the day-to-day, or uncertain about the future?  Whatever it is, having someone to talk to who is separate from your friends and/or family can be just what is needed. This is where therapy can help.

​

My Counselling Room... (photos coming soon)...

​

My counselling room is located in my garden at the back of my property. This is accessed by a side gate at the end of my driveway, there are a couple of steps up onto a patio, then a couple of steps down onto a lawn. At the end of the garden is my counselling cabin. 

​

Please note there are no bathroom facilities on site. 

​

I am located near to the Dartford Grammar Schools, postcode will be provided on booking. There is free parking on the road and surrounding roads. 

​​

How I work...​

​

As your therapist, my role is not to provide you with the answers, but instead to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to talk and feel supported, enabling you to face challenges and feel a greater sense of well being, purpose and value. 

 

As an Integrative Therapist I have trained in a variety of modalities and so I can adapt and blend these modalities to suit individual clients and situations. 

​

I like to work creatively and will offer clients the opportunity to work in this way. If this is something that interests you we may work with art, music, buttons and/or guided meditation. This is always offered but entirely the clients choice. 

​

What can I help with?

​

Stress, anxiety, depression, bereavement, OCD, PTSD, work related issues, identity, grief, self esteem, women’s issues, autism, EUPD, relationships and more. â€‹

​

​

If you find yourself in crisis, please either contact your GP, 111 or 999 in an emergency. You can also contact the Samaritans on 116 123 (free) anytime day or night.
