My main approach is psychodynamic, which means we can explore how your experiences, relationships and ways of thinking may have influenced how you experience yourself and the world around you. I also draw on other therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mentalisation-Based Therapy (MBT), attachment-based approaches, mindfulness and practical techniques for managing anxiety.
I adapt the way we work to suit you as an individual and to what feels most helpful. This might involve exploring things in greater depth, making sense of behaviour patterns that have developed over time, or focusing on practical ways to manage what you are experiencing now.
As a counsellor and psychotherapist with advanced training and over 20 years’ experience working across London, the South East and Kent I have a well-established practice in the centre of Tunbridge Wells. My professional background includes:

Public Health Specialist South East London NHS Health Services
Bereavement Counsellor CRUSE Bereavement Service
Supervisor and Mentor for student counsellors and psychologists
Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.
