About me

I'm an integrative therapist and newly qualified psychosexual and relationship therapist, working with individuals and couples in Hove and online. Alongside my private practice, I work part-time in an NHS sexual health clinic.

I trained integratively, bringing together humanistic, psychodynamic, and CBT approaches, and draw particularly on Compassion Focused Therapy, ACT, and mindfulness in my work. With couples, I work mainly in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT). A lot of what I work with (whether with individuals or couples) comes back to attachment and love: how we connect, why it sometimes goes wrong, and what gets in the way of intimacy.

I work with people from all walks of life and have a particular interest in supporting LGBTQIA+, trans and non-binary clients, and those in ENM or kink/BDSM communities.

Sessions are in private rooms in Hove, or online. I offer a short intro call so you can get a sense of whether we'd work well together.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Accredited register membership

The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
