I offer long term and time limited sessions online via FaceTime, Google Duo, Zoom or WhatsApp.  No evening appointments available at present. Some concessions available.

I have 22 years experience working with adults and young people experiencing a wide variety of difficulties. This includes 14 years experience working short term in a university counselling service and 20 years experience working long and medium term at The Rock Clinic in Brighton alongside my private practice.

The first step is to help you decide what changes you want to make and what needs to happen to facilitate this. The approaches I use will depend on your goals, whether they are to find coping strategies to do with a current difficulty or whether you feel some difficulties may go back a long way into the past. It can be very helpful to explore how we may repeat patterns which do go back and may limit our choices, our vitality and our satisfaction with our lives. 

The first session is a chat about what brings you to counselling, what you want to achieve and gives you the chance to see whether you feel comfortable talking to me. It can feel very daunting to think of sharing personal information to someone you don’t know. In my experience, most people at the end of our first session breathe a sigh of relief and say they don’t feel it was as bad as they expected.
