Therapy.
£55 - £75
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 our struggles make sense when we understand our story. Together, we'll explore your experiences with curiosity, compassion and care so that you can begin to understand yourself differently. When we begin to 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.
I am an experienced Psychodynamic Counsellor and Psychotherapist and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. I have additional training in trauma-informed counselling to better support and work safely with those suffering from trauma. I work with clients suffering from anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, bereavement and loss, stress, self harm, and a range of other issues. I also have experience working with clients with an existing diagnosis including personality disorders (such as Borderline Personality Disorder) and eating disorders.
I offer both long-term, open ended therapy or short-term focussed therapy over 12 sessions. I work with clients both face to face at my office in Maidstone town centre as well as online via video call.
To ensure that therapy remains accessible my fee works on a sliding scale between £55 - £75, which is decided by my clients.
Coaching.
£75
Targeted support 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 it's 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.
