Counselling Rochester

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by life? Sometimes the road gets rough and we struggle to hold it all together and the things we always used to find so easy suddenly feel impossible. Maybe you have never really spoken to anyone about the way you feel or you’re not sure if your problems are ‘important enough’ to seek counselling.

Most people in therapy are in fact struggling with everyday issues such as stress, anxiety and depression; you are not the only one. I believe your issues are important and so are your feelings. You have the right to peace in your life.

Some people may want to change specific aspects of their lives or may need help to manage major life changes such as the breakdown of a relationship or loss of a loved one.

Does this sound like you? I can help; I work with adults of all ages, supporting people struggling with feelings of guilt, anxiety and stress especially when due to relationship issues, parenting or caring responsibilities. I also support many people who are neurodivergent, feeling overwhelmed and struggling to cope with the stresses of life.

Talking things over with a trained professional outside of your family and friends can help you find clarity, feel calmer, more in control, help you to make decisions without feeling guilty and give you a sense of self -worth and purpose.

I have experience working for the NHS, a local Children's Centre (with parents), in my own Private Practice supporting adults both long and short term and with a charity supporting people in the construction industry.

I worked for several years in schools as a Teaching assistant and SENCO and have supported parents of children with special educational needs.

I also have personal experience as a single parent and caring for a family member with a brain injury.

How we work together

Once you've sent me a message I get back to you as soon as I can to arrange to ring you. We can have a free no obligation chat to see if we can work together. This will give you an opportunity to ask me any questions you may have about the way I work.

Through the relationship we develop, you will increase your understanding and as a result, your own ability to change what you feel you need to or accept the things you can’t change.

Online or telephone counselling

I work online using a platform called ‘Whereby’ – it’s a bit like Zoom but you don’t have to download anything, just click on a link that I will email to you. The link will take you straight to my counselling room where you will be asked to ‘knock’ on the door and I will let you in to my online room. This ensures the room is secure and private. Or we can use WhatsApp video call or phone call if you would prefer.

Online counselling is just as good as face- to -face counselling. It means you can access my support from anywhere in the country and from the comfort of your own home. You do not have to factor in travelling time or expenses either. All I ask is that you are in a safe private space where you cannot be overheard so you can talk freely and that you are not driving at the time and I will ensure I do the same
