About me
EMDR, Integrative and creative therapy available in Hove.
Therapy can help you to listen to yourself and to understand the messages your feelings are giving you. You can then understand how to fill the gaps in your life, making it work better for you.
It's easy to feel overwhelmed by the volume of responsibility the world throws at us, and sometimes we don't cope well.
You might feel like you should be able to cope on your own, that there are people out there with bigger problems or that you don't deserve to spend time helping yourself to feel better. But those are external ideas which block us from making progress in our lives.
You might already have coping strategies that sort of work - maybe you have a drink after work, focus on other people to drown out your own needs, or give in to your anxiety with busy tasks to avoid thinking too much, but these strategies won't work for long because they also have negative side effects. Therapy can help you to find ways of making life feel good that don't have negative consequences, and can help you to feel in control again.
I offer therapy that suits you, the individual. Together we will discuss what you want from your sessions, and we can then co-create a way of addressing your issues that suits your unique way of thinking that focuses on helping you to fulfil your potential.
If you'd like to know more about the different types of therapy I can offer, or what sessions with me might look like then please take a look at my website or get in touch and I'd be happy to answer any questions you have before you need to book anything.

Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
