Therapists

You’ve already taken the first step in seeking help by arriving here. It may feel nerve-wracking - but help is out there and things can get better. I work with individuals in a kind, supportive, non-judgemental environment. We will go at your pace and work only with what you bring. I would like to offer you a free 15-minute telephone consultation where you can ask questions and look at how we might approach therapy together. It is entirely normal to feel nervous at this stage but hopefully this initial conversation will help ease any concerns. If you are happy to proceed then meeting weekly, in person or online, for 50-minute sessions would be the ideal way to work together. And I can’t emphasise enough - we will take this slowly and in a supportive environment.

I work online and in person in multiple locations in Brighton & Hove. A 50 minute session for an individual is £60. I work with individuals. Maybe you recognise some of the following? Areas I can help with include: • Sexual identity • Anxiety • Depression • Loss • Trauma • Bereavement • Sex and Relationships • Grief • Work pressures • Stress and burnout • Low self-esteem • Relationship challenges • Long-term relationship difficulties • A feeling of unplanned changes in marriage/relationships • Losing the individual in relationships • Trust issues

I began my training at Birkbeck, University of London, before completing a CPCAB Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. I am a registered member of the BACP and have worked with clients within the NHS Talking Therapy Service. I particularly welcome clients dealing with LGBTQ+ issues and those coping with chronic illness. Before qualifying as a therapist I had a 30 year career in challenging, highly pressured work environments. If you are going through something similar, I can truly empathise. I have experience, through my training, of working with people challenged by the areas listed above.
