Welcome

I am a BACP Accredited and UKRC Registered Counsellor working in Private Practice in the centre of Goudhurst, a prominent village situated between Cranbrook and Tunbridge Wells in Kent, and within easy reach of both towns.

Alongside my original core training and qualification in person-centred counselling, I have acquired knowledge and experience in psychodynamic theory and practice. I also have a long standing special interest in transpersonal and analytic psychology and most of my professional work and ongoing study is in this area.

My approach to counselling is in part borne of an understanding of human nature and the world at large as being in a necessary state of perpetual change. Where the undercurrent of change is experienced as incompatible with a person’s living reality, then feelings of anxiety, depression, prolonged grief, over-indulgence, inadequate relationships, poor self-regard and so on, are apt to be present. These are but a few of the common problems which an individual might seek help to understand and change through therapy.

My practice is open to any individual who thinks that counselling may be of benefit and is easily accessible by self-referral.

Referrals from GPs and other professionals are also welcome, and I offer short or longer term counselling to adults and young people over 16 years of age.

As a Member of BACP,I am bound by its Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy.
