Hi, I'm Rowena, a qualified integrative counsellor specialising in bereavement and loss. I'm here to support you through emotional struggles, life transitions, and the moments when you feel stuck. Whether you're facing - Anxiety, Depression, Loss / Bereavement, Stress, Difficult life transitions, Relationship problems, or a sense that something just isn't right. I offer a safe and collaborative space to explore what you're going through, and what's possible beyond it.
As a qualified integrative counsellor and psychotherapist, I have experience of working with clients facing a wide range of issues from anxiety to bereavement and much more. My aim is to support you as you journey through your issues by helping you explore and become more self-aware.
My approaches include Person-centred, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic approaches and Creative interventions. Creative interventions are particularly useful in helping individuals communicate aspects of memories and stories that may not be easily accessible through conversation.
I have previously worked in social care, managing an office for Methodist Homes for the Aged supporting elderly people living alone at home. I currently work at Lighthouse Counselling in Kent, where I support clients with a wide range of problems. This work has involved short-term and open-ended contracts as well as single-session therapy sessions.
I trained at Waverley Abbey College in Farnham, Surrey (validated by Middlesex University).
I attend regular professional workshops to enhance my knowledge and skill set. I also attend Supervision regularly both with my individual Supervisor and with three of my Peers.
As well as being an integrative counsellor, I am a certified life coach and specialise in life’s transitions. I help people move through change with confidence, clarity, and purpose.
Whether you're:
• Starting over after a breakup
• Changing careers or roles
• Feeling called toward something more meaningful
• Or simply craving a new direction
l'm here to guide and support you. You're not stuck. You're in transition, and that's where the real growth happens.
Through personalised coaching, we'll uncover what's holding you back, build a roadmap forward, and help you take empowered, intentional steps toward the life you're meant to live.
