About me
Would it help you right now to be able to talk about problems in your life or relationships? If so I can provide you with a safe and confidential space where you can share troubles, explore what is most important to you and find new ways to live well.
Taking the first step
In my experience, taking the first step of talking to someone can often feel like yet another challenge to overcome. If you choose an initial session with me, I’ll be especially aware of this step you’ve taken. I’ll listen closely, supportively and without judgement to your concerns.
How I work
I believe that therapy works best through weekly sessions, maintaining a regular focus. I help people to reconsider problems and difficulties in their lives, either through short-term work addressing present challenges, or working longer term at greater depth on underlying issues. I work collaboratively with my clients, agreeing mutually set goals for our work together and I work at their pace and the level that feels right for them.
As a former hospice counsellor I’m most experienced with bereavement support, though I also regularly work with those facing other life challenges including anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship difficulties.
Do get in touch
In my experience, a first session can uncover a lot and at the same time provide a framework that serves to identify and even contain initial problems. Once we have identified your difficulties, I offer you my close support in exploring ways in which problems can be approached and we can work towards renewing your capacity to lead the life you want to live.
Training, qualifications & experience
I completed my psychotherapy training at the Wealden Institute and hold the Diploma in Transactional Analysis (TA) Practice. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) and I am working towards qualifying as a Certified Transactional Analyst. I am also member of the UK Association for Transactional Analysis (UKATA).
As a reflective practitioner I am committed to a continuous programme of professional development and in recent years have completed additional training in working with:
- Anxiety
- Attachment
- Bereavement
- Couples Counselling
- Developmental Stages
- Depression
- Diversity
- Group Psychotherapy
- Sandplay
- Safeguarding
- Trauma & Recovery
I operate a private practice from Lewes in East Sussex and also remotely online and I work with adults and couples.
Member organisations
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.
