You don’t have to have it all figured out before you come.

One-to-one counselling and psychotherapy. Online across the UK and internationally, and in person in Kent.

Why people come.

People come to therapy for all sorts of reasons. Sometimes there’s a specific thing – a relationship breakdown, a bereavement, a job that’s eroded them, a memory that won’t settle. Other times it’s harder to name. Just a sense that something isn’t right, or that the way they’re getting through life isn’t sustainable.

I work with adults who are usually pretty good at managing – at work, in relationships, with their families – but who’ve reached a point where managing isn’t enough. Men in particular often arrive having put it off for a long time. That’s fine. There’s no right way to start.

Counselling with me isn’t scripted, and it isn’t about diagnosing what’s wrong with you. It’s a conversation. We talk, we notice what comes up, and we work it out together.

Anxiety and overwhelm

The feeling that you’re holding too much, or that your nervous system has been on for too long. Stress, panic, sleep disruption, the constant low hum of pressure.

Relationships and identity

Patterns that keep repeating. Difficulty with closeness, or with speaking up. Questions about who you are now, or who you want to become.

Loss, change and meaning

Bereavement, separation, redundancy, life stages that haven’t gone the way you expected. Or a quieter sense that something needs to change but you don’t yet know what.
