A space to explore life’s challenges
Life can be demanding, and at times it may feel overwhelming. Many adults reach out for counselling in Tunbridge Wells when they are struggling with grief, relationship difficulties, family pressures, work stress, burnout, or low confidence. Others come during times of change, such as separation, bereavement, menopause, or other major life events that bring old feelings to the surface.
Counselling offers a consistent time each week to pause, reflect, and think about what is happening for you. Together we can explore not just what is going on now, but also the deeper patterns and experiences that may be shaping how you feel and respond.
How can psychodynamic counselling help you?
Psychodynamic counselling helps you understand the connections between your past and the challenges you face today. Early experiences and relationships can shape how we see ourselves and how we cope with stress, loss, or conflict.
By exploring these links, therapy can help you make sense of your emotions, recognise unhelpful patterns, and create space for lasting change. Whether you are looking for anxiety counselling, depression support, or simply a place to talk things through, psychodynamic therapy can help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
How I work
Counselling with me is not about quick fixes. Instead, it is about creating a steady, supportive space where you can be honest about what is troubling you.
You can expect me to:
-
Listen carefully and without judgement
-
Ask thoughtful questions to help you reflect
-
Notice patterns that may be influencing your present
-
Support you to think about what change could look like
My experience
My career has included working in the City of London for nearly a decade, where I was a Director at an international recruitment agency. This experience gave me valuable first-hand insight into the pressures of corporate life—long hours, high expectations, and the complex challenges of navigating identity, motherhood, and financial demands.
Later, I worked in the education sector and re-trained as a psychodynamic counsellor volunteering as a counsellor for a local charity.
I now run a private counselling practice where I support clients in improving their emotional wellbeing. I offer a calm, non-judgemental space to explore thoughts and feelings, build insight, and gain clarity. My approach is rooted in empathy, consistency, and a belief in each person's capacity for growth and self-understanding.
Common issues I work on with adults
How to get started
Beginning counselling in Tunbridge Wells or online can feel like a big decision. Here’s what the first steps look like:
I offer a 50-minute online assessment session for £45. This is an opportunity to talk about what brings you to counselling, what you hope to gain, and to see whether my approach feels right for you. I will also explain how I work and answer any questions you may have.
If we decide to continue, we’ll agree on a regular session time. Counselling can take place online or in person in Tunbridge Wells. We’ll also discuss whether a short-term or open-ended approach would best suit your goals.
Once therapy begins, we’ll meet weekly for 50-minute sessions. Some people come for focused short-term work, while others prefer longer-term support. Together we’ll find a pace and approach that feels right for you.
Flexibility to Work with Me Online or In Person
If it’s easier for you, I offer counselling sessions online. Many adults and students find this a good option as it allows them to talk from home or another private space. Online sessions provide the same support as meeting in person, without the need to travel.
