Mondays for face-to-face sessions:

9am, 10am, 1pm

I also offer some online sessions and work from another practice in West Sussex on Thursdays and Fridays.

A humanistic counsellor, I work with adults over 18 years and offer short-term (6-12 sessions) and longer-term support.  I believe in the power of our therapeutic relationship as the main vehicle for change.  Through deep listening, empathy and curiosity, we can get to know how it really feels to be you in the world.  Over time, my hope is for you to find the courage to let go of familiar, less healthy ways of being and start relating to yourself, and others, in ways which may serve you better in the future.  

If you choose to work with me, I will offer gentle challenge on occasions as we explore what you are currently grappling with.  I do not offer advice as my belief is that you are the expert on you; rather, I will sit alongside you as a fellow human being and support you to realise some of your potential.  

Before undertaking post-graduate training at the University of Brighton, I worked as an adult Speech and Language Therapist, mainly in acute hospitals, and my undergraduate degree is in Psychology.  

Life can feel really messy and confusing.  You may be feeling a mixture of painful emotions right now, such as fear, sadness, anger and even despair.   Finding a counsellor to share your intimate personal story with, to help you to make sense of your struggles, can feel really daunting.  You may have lots of concerns at this stage, such as whether counselling will make you feel worse, and whether you will be able to be vulnerable with a relative stranger.  

Creating a safe space with me to get to know yourself more fully, and your relationships, requires patience, courage and trusting the process.  I will be guided by you as to what you wish to share, and when you feel comfortable doing so. With greater self-awareness and compassion for all parts of you, I am hopeful you will feel empowered to make meaningful changes in your life, fostering your long-term wellbeing and growth.  For me, committing to therapeutic support can be a life-long investment.   

I look forward to meeting you.  

The initial session is 50 minutes and is charged at the full rate of £60.  

I offer a free 15-minute chat via phone prior to our initial session.
