About me
Would it help to talk more openly about what you're carrying right now?
I'm a Sussex-based therapist providing a confidential space in person or online, where my clients share troubles, explore what is most important to them, and find new ways to live well.
Taking the first step
Seeking professional help can often feel like yet another challenge to overcome. If you choose an initial session with me, I'll be especially mindful of the courage this step takes. I'll listen closely, supportively, and without judgement to your concerns.
Issues I work with
I regularly support people living with:
- Anxiety and depression
- ADHD
- Life-limiting illness, grief and bereavement
- Loneliness and social isolation
- Trauma and addiction
- Family conflict and carer needs support
- Life transition - career change, crossroads, finding new meaning and direction
I also work with couples who are experiencing relationship difficulties.
How I work
Over the years, many clients have reflected their experience of me as bringing warmth, calm, openness, and a constructive engagement to whatever they wish to bring to our sessions.
I see my role as supporting people to renew themselves by gently exploring the problems and difficulties in their lives. I bring compassion and understanding to every conversation, working collaboratively with my clients—often agreeing on shared goals, but always at their pace and at a level that feels right for them.
My work draws on Transactional Analysis, a well-established approach that helps us better understand how we may have adapted to the world and how we might choose different ways to be. I offer a blend of shorter-term sessions over a few months addressing present challenges, and longer-term work at greater depth on underlying issues.
I have particular experience working with men of all ages, recognising that the challenges they face can sometimes be harder to voice.
Do get in touch
I've learned that a first session can uncover a great deal while also providing a framework for holding distressing problems. Once we've identified your difficulties, I offer you my close, ongoing support in exploring how they might be approached—and together we can work towards renewing your capacity to lead the life you want to live.
Training, qualifications & experience
I'm an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) and my work is guided by the BACP Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions. I also hold a Diploma in Transactional Analysis (TA), a modality with a core belief that each and every one of us is fundamentally of innate worth and deserving of respect.
My formative years in training were in diverse mental health support organisations: a hospice, an addiction support charity and a low cost counselling service working with people in areas of social deprivation.
As a private 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
My practice is based in Lewes in East Sussex and I also work online both with individuals and with couples.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
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.
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.
