About me and my therapy practice

I offer a supportive, and confidential space where you can explore whatever is on your mind, at your own pace. I understand that reaching out for counselling can feel like a big step, so I aim to make the process as comfortable and accessible as possible for you.

My approach is integrative, which means I draw on different therapeutic approaches to suit you as an individual. I believe that you are the expert in your own life. My role is not to tell you what to do, but to work alongside you—helping you make sense of your experiences, develop insight, and find ways forward that feel right for you.

With a 30 year career in learning and development, I've worked with people to support them personally and professionally. I'm NCPS and BACP accredited and passionate about my work and committed to sitting alongside you, so you feel truly seen, heard and understood. Together, we’ll shape sessions around what feels most helpful for you, supporting you to move forward with greater clarity, confidence and self-compassion.

I believe counselling works best when there's genuine connection and understanding. I'm here to listen, support and walk alongside you, whatever you're going through. I offer a free 20-minute online consultation with no obligation. This is your chance to ask any questions you might have, tell me a bit about what's brought you here and see if we feel like a good fit.

I'm based in West Sussex and work with adults (18+) in Haywards Heath and surrounding areas and on-line.

Practice description

You might be suffering in silence and feel exhausted trying to 'be strong', often for other people and your own tank is running on empty. You might be struggling with anxiety, depression, stress or low self-esteem and not know where to turn. Perhaps you're facing relationship difficulties, grief, trauma or a major life transition that feels so overwhelming and you can't switch off. It could be past experiences that are still affecting you, or a sense that something just 'isn’t right'. Often we may not know the source of our pain, yet the weight and burden of carrying it feels very real, overwhelming and painful. Whatever you're going through, you deserve a space where you can gently let go of the weight. We can work through it together, at a pace that feels right for you.

Many people come to counselling with a sense of panic, burnout or overwhelm, often without knowing why. I have worked with clients on a range of issues including anxiety, stress, depression, low self-esteem, loss and bereavement, relationships, family challenges, work related stress, career changes, trauma and life transitions.

I am also passionate about supporting women through the perimenopause and menopause. This period can bring profound emotional, mental and physical changes. You may be suddenly experiencing anxiety, low mood, sleep difficulties or a sense of losing yourself or you identify. Perhaps your children are leaving home, you’re questioning your purpose, or you’re balancing a demanding career while caring for ageing parents.

You may be feeling anxious about reaching out, and starting therapy can feel daunting. People often worry they won’t know what to say or how to “be” in therapy, all of this is very normal and completely understandable.

No matter what you bring into the room, you will always be accepted for who you are and where you are at. I will be there with you and we'll start figuring things out together.
