Counselling Services Online, by Telephone and in Ashford, Kent

Counselling provides a safe, confidential space to explore what's happening in your life at your own pace. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, burnout, low mood, grief, relationship difficulties, identity concerns, emotional numbness, or simply feeling unlike yourself, therapy can help you feel more understood, emotionally grounded, and supported.

I offer counselling in person from my private practice in Ashford, Kent, as well as online and by telephone across the UK and internationally for English-speaking adults. Below you'll find some of the areas I work with and how counselling can help.

Getting Started

A simple and supportive process designed to help you feel comfortable from the very beginning.

Free 15-Minute Consultation

A confidential, no-obligation conversation by video or telephone to discuss what's bringing you to counselling, ask any questions you may have, and explore whether working together feels right for you. A calm first step with no pressure or expectation.

Initial
Assessment

An initial assessment can be booked directly, or following a free introductory call if you prefer. Available in person, by video, or by telephone, it provides an opportunity to explore what's bringing you to counselling, discuss your needs, and consider what support may be most helpful for you at this time. It also gives us both the opportunity to decide whether working together feels right.

Ongoing
Counselling

If, following your initial assessment, we agree that ongoing counselling would be beneficial, regular sessions can be arranged in person, online, or by telephone, depending on what best suits your needs and circumstances. Together, we'll create a confidential and supportive space to explore your experiences and work towards positive, lasting change at your own pace.

Experience & Approach

My background includes hospice and bereavement care, NHS sexual health and HIV services, LGBT+ support, and senior leadership within health and social care. I provide a calm, non-judgemental space where counselling is tailored to your individual needs and experiences.
