Profile
I am committed to providing effective counselling in a safe, confidential & totally non-judgemental environment. I offer a FREE initial consultation, so that you can come and meet me and decide, without obligation, whether I am the right counsellor for you.
I work one-to-one with individuals on an open-ended basis or for an agreed time period, with the aim of enabling you to enhance your life and to live it more fully.
My practice rooms are very close to Hove railway station and have adjacent on-street parking with spaces generally easy to obtain.
Training, Qualifications & Experience
I hold a Post-Graduate Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling awarded by the University of Brighton. This diploma is formally accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. I have also undergone formal training in drug and alcohol dependency counselling from a recognised professional body specialising in work in this field.
I am a member of the British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy.
Additionally, I have a Masters degree in Business Administration (City University Business School, London) and a Bachelor of Arts Honours degree from the University of Oxford.

Further Information
My counselling approach is strongly informed by the humanistic school of psychotherapy pioneered by Carl Rogers (1902-1987). In essence, the Rogerian "person-centred" psychotherapeutic approach is that you, the counselling client, have all the answers to the problems in your life within you and that these answers can be unlocked by you with the help of an effective counsellor who really listens and who is empathic, real and totally non-judgemental.
