Ruby Carmichael

I work Monday and Friday daytimes from my base in Brighton or online or on the phone. 

During a period of change, you might be struggling to find your identity within your new situation. You might be in a state of overwhelm, stuck in a mental paralysis or balancing grief whilst trying to embrace positives within the change. Maybe you are contemplating a significant decision but aren’t sure what form it will take.

I have a particular interest in working with women and non-binary people who are experiencing life transitions, both major and minor, such as:

- All aspects of motherhood - including pregnancy, exploring identity as a mother, single parenting, infertility, choosing whether to become a mother and step parenting.

- Relationship problems, breakdown and divorce.

- Career change or wanting to find a path which feels more aligned to your values.

- Feeling a sense of stuckness and needing something to shift.

- Neurodivergence, in particular ADHD and autism. 

I am a Humanistic therapist. I see therapy as a creative, dynamic and transformative space where we can work together to explore your patterns of relating, develop an understanding of yourself and find power within the circumstances that we cannot change. I draw on my knowledge and previous work experience of philosophy, psychology and mental health to take a holistic approach with you at the centre. I work non-judgementally in a neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ affirming way.

I am a member of BACP and adhere to their ethical guidelines, attend regular supervision and develop my practice with frequent further training.

If you are interested in working together, reach out for a free 30-minute introductory call, either over the phone or online. Here, we can talk about what you want from therapy, and you can ask any questions you may have.
