About me

An experienced counsellor based in central Chichester I work with individuals and also couples from across West Sussex and beyond, who are having to face difficult personal issues. My concern is to help meet the specific needs of each client but in the way which works best for each individual.

I am committed to working with clients who are experiencing personal emotional difficulties such as anxiety, anger management, stress, eating disorders, abuse, depression, relationship issues, low self-esteem, loss, bereavement, abuse, sexual issues, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and dealing with change. I also have specific experience in supporting clients who have work related concerns including stress, low self-confidence, anger and anxiety in the work place, bullying and issues around maintaining work life balance. Counselling can be open ended or on a time limited basis.

I support clients by using various counselling approaches and strategies including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), psychodynamic counselling, humanistic counselling and solution focused therapy. An initial informal discussion can help to decide which technique will be the best fit with the challenges faced by each individual.

I am also happy to offer subsidised sessions to counselling students who are in training. 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.

In addition to supporting individual clients I also offer couples counselling and relationship counselling.

I am always prepared to meet with potential clients for an initial informal discussion. I do not charge a fee for that first meeting.

Meetings are held in pleasant offices located in the centre of Chichester close to easy parking facilities and public transport..
