I am a qualified Humanistic counsellor, (BA Honors Degree)  and BACP accredited, based in central Chichester. Whilst specializing in the Person-Centred approach developed from the work of the psychologist Dr. Carl Rogers, which concentrates on the individual’s self-worth and values. This approach does not use techniques, it relies on the personal qualities of the therapist to build an non-judgemental and empathetic relationship. In the counselling room I am not the expert I trust the innate tendency of each individual to work towards and achieve their full potential. I am opened to experience how others make sense of their own situation and see the world from their own perspective. I am trusting, trustworthy and accepting. I also draw on a range of modalities in order to best suit the needs of each client. A registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, I run my own private practice and also work  for the NHS and for a charity organisation in Chichester. I offer long and short-term counselling and can accommodate both English and Spanish speakers.

Enabling you to overcome difficulties, counselling provides a safe and reassuring environment in which express and explore your thoughts and feelings. Offering counselling across a range of issues, my role is to listen and support, guiding you towards greater personal fulfillment.

My practice is in Chichester 10 minutes walk from the town centre, bus stops are near by and 10 minutes walk from the Cattle Market car park.

We will work together to identify your goals that you wish to achieve. I will draw upon an integrative approach applying different therapeutic models to meet your individual needs.  We will if convenient explore the present, the past and the future building a trusting and empathetic therapeutic relationship enabling you to achieve your goals.
