About me
I offer a compassionate, non-judgemental and confidential space for you to speak freely about whatever is concerning you.

I have experience working with a range of issues, with a specialism in trauma. I offer short and long term counselling and psychotherapy for individuals in Brighton and Hove.

I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychology (BACP) and abide by the BACP Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions.

How counselling can help

At times in our lives we all could use some space to reflect on our personal issues and relationships.

​Counselling offers an opportunity to examine some of the difficulties we face in life, helping us to gain insight and understanding and to move forward with greater clarity. It can help you to reflect on the past and recognise its impact on the present. It can also help you to recognise patterns in your thinking and behaviour that may hold you back from who you want to be. Counselling may also provide you with support whilst you are going through times of change or facing particular challenges.

At the heart of counselling is the relationship between the client and counsellor. They build a trusting, non-judgemental working relationship, giving the client the opportunity to share thoughts and feelings openly within a confidential, safe environment.

The counselling process is unique to each individual. Sometimes it raises difficult or painful feelings which can be worked through and explored with the counsellor. Clients will benefit most from the therapy if they commit to the process and weekly attendance.

What to expect in your first session

Finding a counsellor can be a daunting experience and I always suggest an introductory session. This is important for me to gain a clear picture of what is bringing you into therapy, but it is also important for you, giving you an opportunity to meet me and to discover if I am the right therapist for you.
