 Although life can be challenging, there are times when these challenges feel overwhelming, devastating and can develop into crisis. Psychotherapy helps you to find your way through these difficult times, knowing that there is someone walking alongside you.

I provide support for a wide range of issues, including but not limited to:

Anxiety and stress

Attachment issues

Depression, sadness, grief, and loss

Trauma – past and present

Anger and emotional instability

Relationship issues

Acute and chronic ill health, physical and mental

Life transitions – including leaving home, starting out alone, fertility issues, becoming a parent, living with teens, children leaving home, divorce, menopause, retirement, facing mortality.

Together we will look at your unique story, using feelings and emotions, thoughts, memories, hopes and dreams. The sensations you feel within your body may also help to reveal what cannot be thought or spoken.

As your story unfolds, psychotherapy brings awareness and insight into previously unseen truths and influences, which can then be worked through and made sense of together.

The process depends on you being able to feel confident, safe, and relaxed with your therapist so that the real work of delving deep beneath the surface can take place in a supportive relationship. 

This will enable you to discover more about what you really want and need.

Having practised as an NHS midwife, breastfeeding counsellor and early parenting specialist, I bring experience and expertise to supporting new parents with the transition to parenthood. 

Feeling supported to work through birth trauma and other painful experiences related to fertility and early parenthood can be incredibly healing for individual parents, couples and the family unit.

Sessions last 50 minutes and can be face to face or online or a mixture of both. I work from a variety of private, beautiful counselling spaces in Brighton, Hove and South West London, where you will feel relaxed, safe and comfortable.

Sessions are £55 per hour although I am able to offer some reduced cost sessions for those with restricted finances such as students (please discuss your needs with me during our initial consultation.

I take payment through a contactless card reader at the end of each session and require minimum 48 hours notice in order to cancel a session without charge.

If you would like to ask any questions and find out whether you feel we could work effectively together, please email me to arrange a free 20 minute phone consultation. It is important for you to find the right therapist for you, so that you can get the most benefit from your psychotherapy.
