About me and my therapy practice
I am a qualified Humanistic counsellor (BA Hons) and a BACP-accredited therapist, based in central Chichester. I run my own private practice and also work within the NHS and for a charity specialising in trauma, supporting individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and life experiences.
My core training is in the Person-Centred approach, developed from the work of Carl Rogers. This approach places emphasis on your unique experiences, values, and innate capacity for growth. Rather than using prescriptive techniques, I offer a non-judgemental, empathic, and collaborative therapeutic relationship where you can explore what matters most to you, at your own pace.
Alongside my humanistic foundation, I am a trained EMDR therapist and work integratively, drawing on a range of therapeutic modalities to best meet each individual’s needs. My work within a trauma-focused charity has given me extensive experience supporting clients with complex and developmental trauma, allowing therapy to be both sensitive and appropriately paced.
In the counselling room, I do not see myself as the expert on your life. I trust each person’s innate tendency towards healing and personal fulfilment, and my role is to listen, support, and walk alongside you as you make sense of your experiences and move towards meaningful change. I offer a safe, confidential space in which thoughts and feelings can be explored openly.
I provide counselling across a wide range of issues and welcome both English and Spanish-speaking clients.
