Whatever your reason for starting therapy, whether you are feeling anxious or depressed, dealing with a major life event, seeking clarity, or simply wanting to know yourself better, I’m here to walk alongside you and listen. Therapy is a collaborative journey that draws on the healing power of authentic human connection. I offer a safe, judgment-free space where you can be truly seen and heard. We'll discuss the issues that are important to you at a pace you’re comfortable with. Therapy allows you to explore who you are at your core, reflect on how your experiences in life shape you in the here and now, also how you relate to the world. Deeper self-awareness will help you make meaningful, authentic choices about how to live, allowing you to achieve your true potential. Choosing how to live can be empowering, even in dark times. You may be feeling anxious about starting therapy. This was my experience. I understand it can take real courage to take the first step. Therapy can be difficult and challenging but it can also be transformative. In my case it led me to train as a therapist.
My approach draws on humanistic principles that emphasise empathy, presence, and respect for your unique life experience. I am committed to seeing you as a whole person, not as a set of symptoms or a label. I see clients online, also in person in comfortable rooms in Hove. I offer walk and talk therapy outside in nature. I work with clients on a short and long-term basis. Sessions last 50 minutes and are charged at £60. The 1st session is offered at a reduced fee of £30 and is an opportunity for you to see what it might be like to work with me. Concessionary rates are sometimes available, please ask. I’m happy to answer any initial questions you might have in a free 15 minute introductory call.
I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counselling from the University of Brighton. I have gained wide experience in my private practice, also through my work as a therapist for Macmillan Cancer Support and Martlets hospice in Brighton. Some of the areas I work with include neurodiversity, anxiety and depression, low self-esteem, family and relationship problems, men’s issues, self-harm and suicidal thoughts, cancer and chronic illness, end-of-life, bereavement and loss. I worked for many years in high-pressured office environments. I'm interested in how the workplace impacts our well-being. I see adult clients of all genders, sexualities, ages and ethnicities. I support equality, diversity and social justice in my practice. I'm a registered member of the BACP and abide by their professional code of ethics and conduct. I am also registered with the ICO, I'm DBS checked and hold professional indemnity insurance. I complete regular professional training to maintain and develop my knowledge.
