About me

An experienced counsellor based in central Chichester I work with individuals who are facing with difficult personal issues. My concern is to work with each client in the way which is most helpful for each individual. I also offer relationship counselling to couples.

I have experience of supporting clients with personal emotional difficulties such as anxiety, anger management, stress, abuse, depression, relationship issues, low self-esteem, loss, bereavement, abuse, sexual issues, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) eating disorders and dealing with change. I also have specific experience helping clients through work related concerns including bullying, stress and anxiety in the work place and issues around maintaining work life balance.

Counselling can be open ended or on a time limited basis. I use various counselling approaches and strategies including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), psychodynamic counselling, existential work and solution focused therapy.

In addition to working with companies offering EAP programmes, I am a registered practitioner with a number of organisations including BUPA, Aviva, WPA and Pru Health.

I offer couples counselling and relationship counselling. I am also happy to provide subsidised sessions to counselling students who are in training.

I am always prepared to meet with potential clients for an initial informal discussion. I do not charge a fee for that first meeting.  That first appointment can be helpful in considering which technique is likely be the best fit with the challenges faced by each individual.

My clients come from Chichester, Bognor, Midhurst and surrounding towns in West Sussex and Hampshire.  Meetings are held in pleasant offices located in the centre of Chichester close to easy parking facilities and public transport. I am also happy to consider Skype work with clients.
