Is it time for change? You don't have to do it on your own. I can support you to understand yourself better and live a more grounded and fulfilling life. I offer both short and long term counselling. My style is warm, encouraging and gently challenging. I counsel adults around a wide range of issues and have a particular interest in working with people who have experienced the often hidden effects of neglect, within in their families and/or in institutions such as boarding schools. I am a member of NCPS, UKATA and the IGA, abide by their codes of ethics and am fully insured. Fees: £70 per 50 minute weekly session. The initial assessment session is £35.
Out of difficulty can come learning, growth and change. Understanding your past experiences helps shed light on how you are in the world now so that you can choose to respond differently and with greater self compassion. Sometimes you may need help learning and practicing skills you didn't have the opportunity to learn as a child. This can make a big difference to how you manage and feel in your life today.
My core training is in Transactional Analysis (TA) counselling and psychotherapy; I have additional training and experience in working with adult ex-boarders and groups. I run a fortnightly therapy group for ex-boarders in person in Hove.
