My Face to Face or Online Services
As a Creative Integrated Counsellor at Steps Therapy, I am committed to delivering a holistic and individualised approach to perinatal counselling. I firmly believe in utilising a range of evidence-based therapeutic modalities, such as Person-Centered Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Transactional Analysis, to provide the most effective support to my clients.
Additionally, my extensive knowledge of the Maternity industry further enhances my ability to cater to the specific needs of each individual. By seamlessly integrating these diverse approaches, I can offer a truly unique and practical therapeutic experience to every client.
This unique approach helps you develop more self-awareness and emphasises the mind-body connection. It acknowledges that our mental, emotional and physical well-being are interconnected, and by addressing all aspects of our being, we can achieve profound transformation and lasting positive change.
During our counselling sessions, we will work collaboratively to explore and understand the underlying issues that may be causing distress or hindering you.
Together, we will create a safe and supportive environment where you can freely express yourself and delve into your inner world. Through this process, we will uncover new perspectives, develop effective coping strategies, and cultivate self-compassion.
At Steps Therapy, I am deeply dedicated to providing holistic support for individuals navigating pregnancy, motherhood and parenthood. My specialised Walk and Talk Therapy service is designed to offer a unique and enriching counselling experience tailored specifically for pregnant and postnatal clients.
Embracing Nature for Holistic Well-being:
In my Walk and Talk Therapy sessions, I harness the healing power of nature to create a serene and reflective environment that complements the counselling process. This innovative method allows us to engage in therapeutic conversations while immersed in tranquil outdoor settings, fostering a sense of rejuvenation and calmness during our sessions.
Breaking Down Barriers and Fostering Connection:
Walk and Talk Therapy offers a relaxed and open atmosphere, allowing you to share your thoughts and emotions comfortably. The act of being in motion while engaged in therapy often helps alleviate anxiety and stress, allowing for deeper connection and empathy to develop between us.
The Benefits of Movement and Mindfulness:
I promote holistic well-being by integrating the benefits of physical movement with the healing elements of counselling. This approach recognises the interconnectedness of emotional and physical experiences, allowing us to embrace the present moment and engage in mindful, introspective conversations while surrounded by the dynamic beauty of the natural world.
Forest and Park Spaces in Bexleyheath and Kent:
I am proud to offer my Walk and Talk Therapy services in the serene and natural surroundings of various forests and park spaces in Bexleyheath and Kent, providing peaceful and revitalising locations for your counselling experience.

Like all forms of modern therapy, an integrative approach to therapy is based on a collaboration between the therapist and their client whereby the goal is to form an alliance working together to understand what lies behind the client’s symptoms.
An integrative therapist can carefully track the client’s experience and tune into how best to help clients make sense of their experience. It considers your individual needs and experiences, offering a personalised path to healing and growth.
I understand that your mental, emotional, and physical well-being are interconnected. That's why I take a holistic approach, addressing all aspects of your being to facilitate profound and lasting positive change.
During our sessions, we will work together to explore and understand the underlying issues causing distress or hindering your pregnancy or parenting journey.
