About Me
Where to start
I will begin by offering you an initial consultation. This gives you the opportunity to tell me your story and me the opportunity to understand it. I can help you to work out what it might be that you would want to get from coming to counselling or psychosexual therapy.
Where I Work
I work in Kent from rooms in West Malling and Matfield, offering quiet, confidential spaces for us to meet. I prefer to work with my clients face-to-face and both counselling and psychosexual therapy seems to work best when sessions are weekly.
Each session is one hour.
I am willing to discuss the cost of sessions with you. You are welcome to ask me.
