Profile

Hello, and welcome to my profile. As a counsellor I am trained to listen and help you understand more about yourself and what’s happening in your life. My warmth, empathy and honesty, coupled with skilled questioning could free you from perceiving yourself as a victim of circumstance and move you toward having a greater sense of control or choice in your everyday life.

I am an integrated counsellor, which means that I am experienced in many different schools of therapy. The benefit of this approach is that I can offer you what suits your need best. Everyone is an individual, and while some problems are shared, your experience of your life is unique to you.

I have been a counsellor in Brighton since 2003, and expanded my counselling service to Arlington (near Eastbourne) in 2005.

I was awarded accredited status by the BACP in May 2008.
