Profile

I am a qualified and experienced counsellor, and as an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, I work within their Ethical Framework for Good Practice.

I believe that counselling offers people the opportunity to talk about their feelings, to explore possible underlying causes to the difficulties that they are currently experiencing and helps foster any changes that people may wish to make. It is a process which aims to help you reach your own decisions and make your own choices in life. It is not about giving advice, making decisions for you or imposing opinions on you.

When choosing a counsellor it's more important that you find someone you feel totally comfortable with, rather than the particular theories that they use. However, I work integratively which means that I use many different counselling theories, and I can work flexibly and creatively to meet the individual needs of my clients.

I offer you a caring, empathic and non-judgemental environment in which together we can discuss any issue you may wish to bring and can help you to facilitate any changes that you may wish to make.

I am able to see people in Forest Row or Haywards Heath.
