I am a qualified humanistic counsellor practising in Ashford, Kent; I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and adhere to the BACP Ethical framework code of practice.  I strongly believe a trusting working relationship is one of the key aspects in the counselling alliance, which will begin in a safe, confidential environment. 
I value each human being, and respect individual uniqueness.
 
I am able to offer you a space to be listened to when exploring your thoughts, feelings and experiences of life, without judgement.  I aim to inform your awareness of your inner resources and abilities for your development and growth in life.

My previous career background was in the Education sector as a tutor, internal verifier and examination invigilator.  I have many years of experience working with people from all walks of life, age ranges from 14 to 93.  I am also an experienced mentor, working with and supporting young people.
