I am an integrative counsellor, which means that I integrate theory from various different counselling models to suit the person I am counselling. This allows me to tailor my counselling approach to my clients needs.

With this adaptive approach I can help the client to find a resolution to their issue that suits them, their values and their way of life. This is done by working with the client, by listening, prompting and helping you to clarify the difficulties you are facing, and the options you have.

I gained my Diploma in Integrative Counselling at Inter-Psyche (Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy Studies). I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy who promote the highest standard of training and professional ethics amongst its members.

I see many people with issues such as depression, anxiety, panic, fears, self-confidence issues, obsessive compulsive disorder, lack of belonging.

My specialist interest lies with children. I believe that difficulties experienced by children - if not dealt with - generally affect the adult later in life. My aim is to enable the child or young person to deal with their problems so they can be free to enjoy the rest of their life.

I am also a qualified hypnotherapist, and member of the National Council of Hypnotherapy, so if you would also like to incorporate this approach into your counselling sessions we can discuss if this could be helpful with your particular issue.
