However it is that you are feeling and whatever it is that you are experiencing, I will work with you to help you resolve your difficulties. My approach is friendly, gentle and non-judgmental and my aim is to create a safe and welcoming environment for you to be listened to and supported. I will welcome you as you are, listening with patience and sensitivity, and together we can consider the changes you might want to make.

This is the first step in a gentle approach that will help you to relate to your feelings instead of just reacting to them in the old, familiar ways. By changing the way we relate to difficult feelings, we are actually changing the relationship we have with ourselves and those around us. This is a powerful form of change and is the path that we will work on together.

I trained and qualified in Humanistic Psychotherapy at the University of Brighton and have also completed a further years' study as an Experiential Psychotherapist. Alongside my private practice, I worked as a therapist for a number of years at a local counselling service in Lewes, working with people experiencing a diverse and complex set of problems.

In particular, I have experience working with:

• anxiety

• social anxiety

• low mood and sadness

• low self-esteem

• low self-confidence

• trauma

• addiction

• OCD

• panic attacks

• depression

• stress

• anger

• separation and divorce

• relationship problems

• family issues

• identity issues

• self-harm

• coercive control

I am fully insured, receive ongoing clinical supervision and am committed to continuous professional development training.

If you would like to talk further about what happens next, please get in touch. We can then arrange a free initial 30 minute session to talk about what you want to get out of counselling, and for you to check whether I am the right counsellor for you.

If you don't get through to me straight away, please leave a message. I aim to respond to all messages on the same day.
