I currently have availability during the day on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.

I work with adults and young people aged 16 plus from many backgrounds and life circumstances. You don't have to find yourself in a crisis to come for counselling and I invite you to bring whatever is on your mind. Some of the more common difficulties I help with include: anxiety, depression, low self-esteem/confidence, relationship and family issues, sexuality, stress, trauma, abuse, phobias, panic attacks, loss and bereavement. This list is not exhaustive and I am committed to hearing your individual experience and working inclusively with consideration of the context around you. I have experience in supporting people understand and manage neurodiversity and work in a sex, gender and relationship diversity affirming way.

I trained originally in psychodynamic counselling, which focusses on recognising the impact of the past with a view to freeing up choices about how to be in the present. This forms the roots of how I work and I integrate this with other approaches where they might be helpful. These include Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness techniques to work with distressing symptoms and habits and develop a more peaceful way of being, and Trauma-Informed Counselling to help move safely through traumatic experiences that have remained stuck. My work is held by a Transpersonal frame of transformation and wholeness and underpinned by an ethos of trusting each individual's pace and inner wisdom.

I can meet with you for a fixed number of sessions to think specifically about an issue or can offer longer-term depth psychotherapy, giving the space to explore all aspects of your life and develop greater self-awareness. As a starting point, the expression of emotion within the context of a safe and accepting therapeutic relationship can quite quickly help to relieve distress, and the growth of self-understanding and shifts in how you relate to yourself and others can bring lasting change to how you feel and the choices you make. For this reason I consider investment in therapy to be a valuable gift to yourself. 

If you are interested in trying therapy with me, please contact me to arrange a free half-hour introductory phone or video call. This will give us a chance to find out about each other and decide if we are a good fit. 

If you decide to continue with me we will agree a weekly 50-minute slot that is yours for as long as you wish. Sessions can be in person or online.

I currently have availability during the day on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. This can be in person or online.

I am an experienced and qualified supervisor and provide a supportive relationship for you to explore your client work and personal processes.

Our sessions can include reflecting on your practice together, exploring client material and opening up to new ideas and insights. I will also give you the space to process the emotional impact of the work and how that might connect with personal material. We can think about your self-care and how you might develop yourself professionally. 

I supervise trainee counsellors on psychodynamic or integrative courses, and qualified counsellors who feel that my approach suits them (please see my website for details). I can also supervise people in other roles within the helping professions.

I have been practicing as a Counsellor since 2008 having trained in Psychodynamic Counselling at Brighton University. I have since done further training in Integrative Transpersonal Psychotherapy at Re-Vision training centre. I trained in Supervision in 2015 and am eligible for accreditation with BAPPS. The roots to how I work are Psychodynamic and integrate this with trauma-informed, CBT, mindfulness and transpersonal approaches. I continue to develop my practice and myself so that I can offer you and your clients the best possible support. I work within the ethical guidelines of the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ.

I can offer supervision weekly, fortnightly or monthly. I charge £65 for 50 minutes or can deliver a different length of session if needed.
