My Approach

I provide a confidential and non-judgemental space in which you can feel safe to bring, and work through, the struggles that led you to seek support at this stage. I will respect your autonomy and will listen with compassion and acceptance. I will follow your steps and facilitate your exploration, gently guiding and challenging you, helping you to get a deeper understanding of yourself and what you experience.

I approach my work from the perspective that each individual has a unique way of experiencing life and therefore the solutions they are looking for are also unique to them. I have a holistic perspective, meaning that I integrate body, mind and spirit to address your overall wellbeing, support healing and find balance in your life.

Experience

I provide both face-to-face and online counselling sessions for individuals and couples from my two counselling rooms in Plumstead (on Saturdays) and Ashford (on Tuesdays and Thursdays).
I also collaborate with Kent Counselling for Schools, offering short – and medium – term therapy for young people, and with MIND, where I provide long-term therapy for adults.
Previously, I worked with the Royal Borough of Greenwich’s Outreach Counselling Service for Schools and Counselling Matters Bexley.

My Counselling Space

Both rooms I use for my private counselling practice offer a welcoming, safe, and confidential environment.

• The room I use in Ashford (Kent) is part of Maple Wellness’ counselling space. It is located on the ground floor and has disabled access.
• The room I use in Plumstead, which serves the boroughs of Greenwich and Bexley, is part of a private house. It is on the first floor and accessible via a set of stairs (does not have disabled access)

Both locations offer free on-site parking.
