About me and my therapy practice
I am an integrative counsellor and have received training in Person-centred, Existential, Cognitive and Psychodynamic approaches. I have always believed that there is no one-hat-fits-all modality and that therapists see people as individuals, working in a way that best suits the person sitting in front of them.
I prefer to work relationally, maintaining appropriate levels of confidentiality and providing a safe space for people to share and work through their difficulties. Coming to counselling can take a great deal of courage, and it's always my aim to make this process seamless and manageable.
Practice description
I have access to several therapy rooms in the Brighton and Hove area and also offer an online service to people who are further afield. I offer weekly sessions which usually last for 50 minutes, at an agreed set time/weekday.
My first session
First sessions last up to 30 minutes and are free of charge. This provides an opportunity for people to give a brief overview of why they have decided to come for therapy. We will also use this time to go through the contract, making any necessary amendments, and negotiate what might be expected from me as a therapist, as well as agreeing on our commitments.
