About me and my therapy practice
With over 20 years experience working as a Therapist, my aim is to provide a safe, empathic and non-judgmental environment to work in, with the emphasis on the importance of the Therapist/Client relationship and to promote your desire for change. We will explore and work together, towards promoting a deeper understanding of the challenges and issues you may be facing at the moment; to encourage a deeper sense of self and feelings of self-empowerment and confidence; and to help develop your sense of creativity. I qualified as a Psychodynamic Therapist in 2002 and have worked in both the private and charity sector at the Rock Clinic in Brighton, Youth Advice Centre (YAC), and as a Student Councillor at Sussex University for a number of years.
Practice description
I began working in residential drug and alcohol treatment over twenty years ago and have many years experience working with people who face substance misuse, alcohol dependency and addiction issues; with addiction being defined as 鈥渁nything that gives you temporary relief and temporary pleasure, but in the long term causes harm and has negative consequences that cannot easily be given up despite those negative consequences鈥. This includes all the behavioural addictions such as gambling, workaholism, food disorders, sex addiction, pornography, addiction to social media and technology, etc. I am especially interested In how childhood trauma influences our adult experiences and relationships and work to further a better understanding of our subconscious processes and the links between childhood trauma and current difficulties.
