We sometimes feel that there is something wrong with us because we cannot cope with life, our emotions feel overwhelming or we feel disconnected from ourselves and others. Perhaps you've spent years feeling that something is wrong with you. Maybe you've tried to cope, push feelings away or convince yourself that you should be over what happened. I believe many of your struggles make sense when we better understand your story. Together, we'll explore your experiences with curiosity, compassion and care so that you can begin to understand yourself differently. When we can understand our past and the context of our lives, we often discover that there is nothing "wrong" with us at all, our minds and bodies are responding in very human ways to what we have experienced.
Getting in touch with a therapist for the first time can feel daunting, particularly if you're already feeling overwhelmed. You don't need to write a long explanation or know exactly what you need help with. Simply send me a message and tell me a little about what's bringing you to therapy, or you can just ask to arrange an initial session if you're not sure or would prefer not to say.
If you’d like to speak to me before arranging an initial session then I’d be happy to arrange a free of charge 10 minute phone call should you wish to ask any specific questions or simply hear my voice.
There is no pressure to commit to ongoing therapy after that first conversation and everything we discuss will be confidential.
Targeted support over 12 sessions for clients facing specific work or life problems or transitions. Twelve problem and solution focussed sessions based on the short term psychodynamic model.
Sometimes life is very clear with its challenges or set backs, what often is not so clear is why we are struggling with this specific challenge. Using the short-term psychodynamic model I help clients navigate challenges and become the person the feel they should be, being able to face the challenges of life head on.
I work with clients both face to face at my office in Maidstone town centre as well as online via video call, whichever best suits your life and work.
