I often work with  anxiety, anger and sadness based around issues concerning loss and/or relationship problems with friends, family or teachers.  

 

I frequently work with children and young people, providing counselling services throughout Kent where I see a diverse mix of clients ranging in age from 6 years upwards.

 

I can help young people deal with the strong feelings and physical changes linked to the various life stages they go through, as well as issues around gender and identity, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, poor self-esteem, bullying, loss of motivation, exam stress and eating disorders.

 

Through my student counselling work and English As a Foreign Language hosting and teaching, I have accumulated valuable experience working with children and young people from diverse backgrounds and in a range of settings that include primary and secondary schools, as well as further and higher education environments.

 

I have a special interest in autism spectrum disorder and have undertaken training in understanding ASD and the various co-occurring conditions.

 

I also specialise in working with Carers  as I have direct experience of being a carer myself and understand and appreciate the stresses and strains caring for someone with a physical or mental health problem can involve.

 

I practice Mindfulness Based Stress

Reduction and use elements of these techniques to help my clients.
