I have worked within the NHS for twenty years. I have run groups, and worked with people individually both short term and long term. I spent most of my working life in NHS mental health settings, addiction services and secondary care.. I have worked with those who have a diagnosis of BPD, depression and trauma. My preferred approach is to think with you about your past and how events have shaped you and the impact they have on you now.

If we think together about significant relationships and events and allow the therapeutic alliance to develop we can usually discover together the information you need in order to build resilient internal resources. Through allowing your mind to be open to emerging memories, thoughts, and feelings you can begin to deepen your self awareness, and self compassion. This in turn allows you to grow your self agency and to come to know yourself better and make choices in your life which can enhance the quality of your life and relationships,

We will meet once weekly for 50 minutes at a regular time and in my consultation room. I have access to a consulting room in Maidstone, Canterbury and on Romney Marsh, on different days of the week. I also now work online following the limitations of in person work during the last year.
We would meet for an initial consultation, so that both of us can decide whether I am the right therapist to be of help to you.

I also work outdoors, using the natural world as a co-facilitator. This may sound a surprising suggestion but sometimes allowing the earth around us, the elements, the weather and the landscape to influence our thoughts can be profoundly helpful to us. The experience of thoughtfully connecting to the environment around us can spark memories and draw parallels in our imagination which in turn can reveal information we need, just when we most need it. Being outdoors can allow the mind to reconnect to a less complicated part, a less cluttered busy mind where feelings can be felt, where it is possible to watch the river flow but not believe you will drown in it.
If you are interested in ecotherapy try Googling it and find out if it is an approach which appeals to you.
