Do you have difficulty trusting others or trouble sleeping? Do you have strange dreams or nightmares? If the answer is yes, you may have experienced a trauma reaction. I am a therapeutic counsellor specialising in working with adults affected by trauma. I offer individuals long or short-term counselling online, by telephone or in person. I cover the beautiful towns of Tenterden and Rye and surrounding villages but can also work further afield, UK-w,ide, by working remotely. I have my own experience of trauma and together, we can work to make sense of yours.
