Private Counselling in Ashford

Welcome to

Counselling With Grace


One-to-one counselling for anxiety, overwhelm, grief, self-esteem and life changes.


Perhaps you're going through a tough time right now, maybe you feel that life has never been fair or simple for you. 


However things looks for you, Counselling With Grace offers a calm place to pause and make sense of it. Together, we’ll take things at your pace, helping you find more ease, steadiness, and clarity in yourself.

About Counselling With Grace

Counselling With Grace offers a space for you to put down what you’ve been carrying and talk honestly, without the filter you might use around friends or family.


Sessions are shaped around what you bring, offering support that’s flexible and down-to-earth.


From your first enquiry to every session after, you’ll be speaking directly with me, Grace. That means no massive waiting lists, no middle person, just a consistent, trusted space where you’re always in safe hands.

Meet Grace


"Hi, I’m Grace. I’m really glad you’ve found your way here today.


Sometimes it helps to have a space where you don’t have to hold everything together or figure things out on your own. Hopefully you can find that here.


My own encounters with counselling showed me how meaningful it can be to have someone there to listen and walk alongside you through difficult moments. Someone to help you challenge your thinking without judgement, but with kindness and care. That experience shapes the way I work today: relaxed and human, without pressure or ulterior motives.


Whenever you feel ready, I'd be happy to hear from you and help you find the support you deserve."
