Many of the people I work with hold responsible roles supporting the public every day. Over the years I have had private clients who work within organisations such as the National Health Service, Kent Police, Metropolitan Police Service, the Kent Fire and Rescue Service, and within local authorities including Kent County Council and Surrey County Council, as well as those working in schools, academy trusts and social services.
Some are frontline workers. Others hold senior or leadership roles. What many of them share is the wish to speak to someone completely independent from their workplace.
While many organisations provide internal wellbeing support or employee assistance programmes, some people prefer to arrange counselling privately. For them, it can feel easier to talk openly when the space is fully separate from work structures. That independence can bring a stronger sense of confidentiality, trust and respect, allowing people to share honestly about the pressures they carry, the experiences they manage, and the way work can sometimes affect both professional and personal relationships.
In counselling, the aim is to create a space where you can speak freely and feel genuinely heard. My approach is collaborative and thoughtful. I’m not a silent counsellor. I work alongside you, exploring what is happening, reflecting on patterns and, where helpful, gently discussing and gently challenging things so experiences can be processed and understood in ways that help you move forward.
Many people working in demanding roles are used to being the one others rely on. Counselling can be a place where you don’t have to carry everything on your own.
I work with clients via online video and sessions can be booked regularly or more flexibly around shift patterns. Daytime and weekday appointments are currently available.
If you’re thinking about counselling and would like to see whether we might work well together, please feel free to get in touch.
