About me and my therapy practice
** I am currently fully booked**
BACP Senior Accredited counsellor, supervisor and EMDR therapist with over 14 years experience.
I work with individuals and couples presenting with a wide range of issues. I have extensive experience in working with trauma, PTSD, sexual abuse, addictions, bereavement and loss.
As well as practicing privately, I also work as a counsellor at Mankind, a counselling service for men who have been sexually abused. I am also a supervisor at One Therapy Brighton.
I work with a Person-Centred approach and believe that every individual has a natural potential for growth, change and self-determination.
I am a trauma informed counsellor and I have had a long interest in body psychotherapy and somatic psychology. My counselling practice is informed by the latest research on trauma and the body and I am committed to continuing professional and personal development.
I have over 20 years experience in bodywork as a qualified Shiatsu practitioner and I am interested in the fundamental relationship and interconnection between mind and body.

About me and my therapy practice
** I am currently fully booked**
I offer a supportive environment where a counsellor can regularly discuss and reflect on their work. The focus of supervision may include client's material, the counsellor's process, theory, ethical issues and self-care. My aim is to enable more awareness, confidence and ethical competence in order to offer clients the best service possible as well as assisting and supporting the development of the counsellor.
I offer supervision to counsellors and anyone in the helping professions.
I am an experienced and qualified supervisor with a Diploma in ‘Relationship-Based Supervision of Individuals & Groups’ by Ibis Consultancy and I am a BACP Senior Accredited Supervisor of Groups.
I am currently a supervisor at One Therapy Brighton and I have in the past worked as a clinical supervisor at Survivor’s Network, Cruse Bereavement Care, GamCare and BHT Mental Health & Wellbeing Services.
I can offer weekly, fortnightly or monthly supervision, individual or group, face to face or online.
