I am currently running a very successful counselling service for young people in East Grinstead and have recently started offering counselling in Sevenoaks. Please feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss counselling for your child.
About me and my therapy practice
Would you like to be a happier and closer family? Need help to resolve problems and improve communication?
I am a qualified child and adolescent counsellor, working for 17 years privately with young people and in local secondary schools, running counselling services. During this time I have built successful working relationships with local Doctors, CAHMS and young people’s services.
We all experience difficult times in our lives and struggle to cope on our own. During these times families and children can benefit from talking to a counsellor. I work with clients, aged from 10-21 and provide both long term and short term therapy.
In addition to my MSc in Psychodynamic Counselling for Children and Adolescents I have a Diploma in Group Supervision and continue to engage in regular training and other developmental activities. I was an Associate Lecturer at London University, teaching on the MSc Psychodynamic Counselling for Adults and provide supervision to both trainee and qualified counsellors.
I am an Accredited and Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and follow the ethical codes and practices. I am also up to date with Safeguard training.
I would be very happy to have a no-obligation talk about your child. Please feel free to email or to give me a ring to make a time to talk. Ph: 07862 706 426
Together we will explore and resolve difficulties and find a way forward
My first session
During the first session this will be an opportunity for your child to see whether I might be a person who they would feel comfortable talking too. It would also be an opportunity for me to provide information about counselling and for any questions to be asked.
The first session will provide an insight into what it might be like to work together.
