About
I am a registered MBACP offering individuals and couples a flexible approach to counselling & psychotherapy, working around clients needs in terms of availability, frequency, fees & therapy type. Call for a free 15-minute telephone consultation.
About me:-
I provide counselling and psychotherapy to individuals and couples from my private practice in Rotherfield, East Sussex, fifteen-minutes directly south from Tunbridge Wells.
My practice is set in 7-acres of idyllic, rural countryside, offering a calm and restorative backdrop to my private therapeutic space. In the safe and confidential environment of my therapy room, clients feel free to bring any issue, concern or aspiration in the knowledge that they will be wholeheartedly listened to with empathy, respect, positive unconditional regard and without judgement.
My aim is to actively and empathically listen to what you have to say in order to help you to get in touch with, understand and express your thoughts and feelings about issues that cause you concern. I want to help you to explore probable sources of your concerns and to co-jointly develop strategies for managing these thoughts and feelings and their accompanying behavioural manifestations.
As a Transactional Analysis practitioner, part of my role is to help clients to realise their full potential as grown-ups, by updating strategies for dealing with life which are no longer working for them, replacing them with new ones that do work and enabling them to solve problems using a persons full resources as a grown-up. As part of this process, I work with clients to help live a more balanced, authentic, self-assured life in the here-and-now. In doing so, clients achieve genuine autonomy:- self awareness, spontaneity and the capacity for real and meaningful relationships.
I belief that the relationship between therapist and client is the most important factor in helping to successfully heal and promote personal growth and, if necessary, change.
