Profile

My counselling room is in a stone building next to a barn, set in an idyllic, beautiful rural location, which is peaceful and private.   

 I believe that the relationship we establish in our sessions is pivotal to change and so am keen to create a calm, trusting, respectful and accepting environment for us to work within.  I maintain that you, the client, is the expert on you.  I am not here to fix you but to walk beside you on a journey towards a discovery and acceptance of yourself.

 I am a qualified humanistic counsellor and work mainly one to one.  I use a variety of approaches including Person Centred, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Neurolinguistic Programming, Gestalt, Transactional Analysis and Creative Arts Therapy. 

I am passionate about substance related addictions and emotionally related disordered eating and am currently working in this area voluntarily with SASS (Sussex Alcohol and Substance Misuse Services) and Why Weight, part of a Bariatric Service which has recently been introduced in local surgeries in West  Sussex.
