Psychotherapy and Counselling Services in Rochester
I am a fully qualified psychotherapist and counsellor with an MA in Psychotherapy and Counselling and an Advanced Diploma in Existential Psychotherapy from Regent's College. As a registered member of the UKCP and MBACP, I bring extensive experience from the mental health charity sector and have contributed to published articles and media discussions. My diverse background, including international travel and interests in politics and philosophy, informs my flexible and creative approach to therapy. I specialise in individual adult and couples counselling, offering sessions in Rochester ME1 and online. My practice focuses on helping clients navigate issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and trauma through open-ended or short-term therapy.

With over two decades of professional experience, I provide clinical supervision for practitioners and tailor my methods to each client's unique needs. My approach prioritises clarity and simplicity, aiming to reduce confusion in the therapeutic process. I maintain a commitment to ethical practice and continuous professional development. Located conveniently near Rochester's town centre, my practice offers accessible transport links and limited on-street parking. I welcome inquiries about my services and availability.
