My Approach

I do not have a magic wand and I cannot "fix" your problems for you, but I am a highly trained psychotherapist with extensive experience of helping people with anxiety and depression. I can work with you to unpick why you are feeling depressed and anxious and give you the support and structure you need to make positive changes.

INITIAL PHONE CONSULTATION
Before booking a session, I offer a free of charge, 15-minute phone consultation to explore your particular issues and to ask and answer any immediate questions. Following this call, we can then arrange a time and date on which to meet. My consulting room is in Benenden, and I also offer sessions online, over Zoom.

ASSESSMENT SESSION
Our first session is an assessment, whereby I will ask you some questions about yourself and invite you to tell me a little about your situation and what brings you to therapy. This session provides an opportunity for you to decide if I am someone you feel comfortable working with, and for me to assess if I am going to be the best therapist for you or if there is another practitioner who I feel would be better suited to your needs. As with all subsequent sessions, the assessment session lasts for 50 minutes and costs £55.

SUBSEQUENT SESSIONS
Sessions are weekly and usually take place at the same day and time each week, although I can offer some flexibility if required. Sessions last for 50 minutes and cost £55.

About Me

You may be overthinking or worrying excessively about the future. Perhaps you are presenting a happy and together image to the world whilst feeling highly anxious or depressed inside.
