About me and my therapy practice

Chilibre Holistics is the result of a lifelong journey of growth and interest in peoples well-being. 

Your view and your experience of how you see and feel the world is unique to you, however, this often forgotten or lost depending on your external environment, where beliefs and expectations are absorbed. 

Sometimes we wake up one day and just don't know who we are anymore. 

What can offer you? 

Whatever your age, background, race or culture, being heard and talking freely in a safe, confidential, non-judgemental space can be incredibly empowering in understanding who you are and how you can be more true to you and I will support you in navigating your journey, be it a long or short one; from re-evaluating your existence, to more specific problems and understanding the emotions behind the thoughts, that drive your behaviors, that can support clarity of vision. 

Together we can walk your journey. 

Other areas of counselling services I offer are:

Bereavement counselling - Grief is unique, there is no one size fits all.

Couple Counselling - Couple therapy can help people open up some of the issues that are troubling them.

Walk and Talk - (normally in a local park) - Counselling in motion, literally walking side by side with you, at a pace that suits you.

I have particular experience in Loss and Suicide and am a clinical counsellor for two charities that work in these areas. 

I work from home in Swanley, in a professional therapeutic cabin, this enables me to keep the counselling session fees reasonable for you. 

My first session

Please contact me for a free informal 20 min phone consult.


Once you have decided on a date to start your counselling journey, I will then send full confirmation details by email, within this email I ask you to complete a registration form and you are also sent a copy of the counselling contract ahead of your session to help you familiarise yourself with what to expect. On our first meeting, we will cover what has been sent to you in this email and explore any questions you may have.

On occasion, we may consider the use of additional assessment forms as they can be useful to see where you are with your thoughts and emotions at the beginning of your counselling journey. This can also be a useful reflection tool on your progress further down your counselling journey.

Your first session will include a little history-taking. Together we would set a possible focus for your counselling sessions, including any hopes, fears and other thought processes as it can be helpful to create a focus for you. 

If you decide to continue sessions, it is recommended to consider an initial commitment of six sessions where we would then review your sessions and where you felt you were. 

This is only an idea of what can happen, your sessions are yours and your journey is unique. One of the most important aspects of counselling is the relationship we build together that supports and enables exploration of the areas important to you that may be causing concern for you.
