Thank you for viewing my profile. I do currently have availability for working with new clients. I work Monday to Friday during the day and also in the evenings on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. I am working online (£50 per session) and face to face (£60 per session). I use a room in Lewes very close to the station. 

I also offer outdoor therapy and home visits.

I was skeptical to begin with but have found working online to be very beneficial and various studies have found, and in my experience I have found, there’s no difference in outcome. Many of my clients work in the creative industry, work shifts, have children, work abroad and are therefore unable to commit to a regular time slot. Working online means I can be more flexible. It also saves time and there are fewer missed sessions and less schlepping across town in the depths of winter!

I am a Trauma Informed, integrative psychotherapeutic therapist/counsellor and I work with men and women, on both short and long term contracts. I draw from a number of psychotherapy disciplines with the aim to find a unique pathway for growth and healing that fits comfortably with your way of thinking and being.

I’ve been working in private practice for 12+ years and look forward to the next 12. My 50 minute sessions are client led and tailor-made for each individual. I facilitate a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space and through active listening and reflection I encourage my clients to discover their own path to self compassion and emotional wellness.

I am not always a silent therapist I will, when appropriate, gently challenge my clients, and/or offer any psycho-education that might be helpful. I believe building a trusting and reliable relationship between client and therapist is all important. What we discover, learn and understand about you and your story can have significant influence in unlocking deep self-compassion and help towards altering old thought processes and behaviours that are no longer serving you well.

Areas of experience and particular interest include:

Compulsive, or addictive behaviours and thinking in general including: OCD, obsessional thinking and behaving, compulsive problems around sex and love, workaholism, hoarding

Anxiety (health, social, overthinking) and/or panic attacks and catastrophic thoughts

Depression and low mood

Physical pain and exhaustion, burnout, feelings of overwhelm

Overeating and/or under-eating

Problems around feelings of low self-worth, lack of purpose and confidence, low self esteem

Friendship and relationship issues

Family dynamics

ADHD, autism and neurodivergence (diagnosed/pre diagnosis/curious)

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)

Gender, sexual and relationship diversity (GSRD)

Co-dependency

Recovery from coercive control and domestic abuse

Recovery from sexual abuse

Recovery from trauma

Dissociative identity issues

I'm interested in a holistic approach to counselling and therapy. In our 'crazy-busy' lives we live so much in our heads and leave very little time to remember the importance of giving ourselves the gift of time; of appreciating and being in nature, nurturing our bodies, our spirits and our emotional selves and I believe we do this to our detriment. We don’t give ourselves time to properly get to know and accept ourselves and we can begin to lose sight of who we really are and what we really want from our lives. So I'll be encouraging you to take time to feed and nurture your emotional self with compassion and loving care.

Coming into therapy can be a big step and choosing a therapy model/theory and a therapist who feels right for you might seem like a daunting task. As an integrative therapist I have studied a number of modalities. I often use Transactional Analysis (TA), some Psychodynamic principals, sometimes I lean into Internal Family Systems (IFS) or maybe some Jungian dreamwork might be appropriate. Although I'm not always a silent therapist my sessions are always led by you, you choose the focus.

Increasingly I find myself bringing a 'compassionate enquiry' approach into my work, so I will be asking to know a little about your upbringing, your family tree, your friendship tree. I might bring in a little psycho-education if it's helpful and I sometimes use simple guided meditations where appropriate. Though having a broad base in person centred theory I am very much led by my clients and what they feel comfortable with.

In the first instance I offer a free telephone conversation to assess what you might like to achieve from therapy and to explain a little more about how I work and what to expect in your first session. If you decide to go ahead and book with me, at the beginning of our first meeting we will run through a contract, this should only take about 10 minutes. The contract is designed for clarity as it's important for you to understand what your sessions will entail. Once that's done we can begin.
