ABOUT

PSYCHOTHERAPIST:
online, Hythe and Folkestone

Dealing with your challenges is something you don’t need to do alone. I am here to help you.

 

 

For over twenty years my work has focused on strategy. First, it was building brands, running my own PR and marketing company. After retraining into the world of pyschology, coaching and therapy, it has been around helping people with strategies to feel better.

 

 

Clients comment on my warm and straight-forward manner, but I am also very practical. Our work will be grounded in what is going to make a difference to your life, right now. We also may look at issues from the past, including trauma if that’s the work. What I don’t do is just sit there and listen without giving you tools and techniques that can improve things for you.

 

 

I see clients online, and in person in Hythe and Folkestone, Kent. You can read about some of the issues I work with here. Book a chat with me to see if we are a good fit to work together.
