About me and my therapy practice
Hi, Thanks for checking me out. I realise that taking the first step can seem daunting.
I have been a practicing counsellor/therapist for over 20 years, the last 6 years in Brighton and Hove.
Previously I was working in inner London in a multicultural practice, alongside working ( NOT IAPT) in a large health centre with GPs and mental health nurses.
My professional journey has led me to some specialist interests, including
Addiction and recovery
Post traumatic stress disorder,
Panic attacks
Early trauma,
Bereavement
Mood and personality disorders
Alongside with the more general anxiety, relationship, and work-related problems.
I have worked with a wide variety of clients, people from overseas, ex-service families, carers, and refugees.
I have a room at South Coast Counselling 198 Church Road Hove.
I can work with fortnightly sessions if needs must.
I am willing to negotiate fee reductions if appropriate. I already offer reduced fees to people who work in the public sector.
[*Confidentiality is of course particularly important. However, there are legal caveats which I will have to make clear. If in our work I fear that there is a serious risk of harm to self or to others, including harm to children, I am required legally to break our contract and inform the relevant authorities. I am also obliged to report extremist views and terrorist activity.]
Practice description
Life can be difficult and finding someone to help can seem overwhelming at the start.
Every journey begins with the first step
Here is a brief description of what I have become over years of being in practice.
I have over 15 years as an Integrative Counsellor/Psychotherapist, qualifying with a Master's degree. I also have a strong and continuing interest in Jungian depth psychology
I developed my practice whilst working in Inner City London, for the NHS in a large health centre and for various addiction and community-based charity organisations
I am an experienced counsellor, now in private practice.
I have developed a creative approach to my work over the years, as I understand my clients as individuals seeking help not judgement or labels.
I have been a Trustee of the National mental health charity 'Survivors Poetry since 2004
My first session
I offer an initial, no fee, first telephone consultation. This is usually 15 minutes.
I believe that establishing that we can work together usefully is the crucial first step. I work to earn trust and find a way that suits you to facilitate change from old destructive patterns.
I have a strong Jungian side to my work, and I use creativity to move the tyranny of of our own self story to a more nuanced one, where choice is a new possibiility.
Mostly in our first session I listen intently as we start our journey together.
I can work fortnightly if needed and have some flexibility for shift workers and carers. I try and find whatever works best for you
