About me
About me and my therapy practice:
We all deserve to feel comfortable in our own skin. We deserve to be loved and supported for who we truly are. We all deserve a place in the world without shame. We all have the right to be our own expression of human.
Maybe you struggle with feeling that there’s something ‘wrong’ or ‘different’ about you? Maybe life sometimes feel too difficult to manage? Or you may often feel that you need to hide, change, or control aspects of yourself in the outside world.
Life often presents us with unexpected challenges and having someone there to support you can make these challenges feel more manageable.
I'm Cloe, an LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent-identified creative therapist, committed to working with the full spectrum of human experience. I aim to relate to you as you truly feel yourself to be. I offer a listening ear and a non-judgemental space.
I passionately believe in empowering individuals to find their own answers to the challenges they face. I value diversity, integrity, connection, and the journey of self-discovery. I am unafraid to navigate difficult terrains and sit with discomfort. I believe that connecting deeply with our experiences is key to understanding how we perceive ourselves and our lives. I understand that our intersecting identities impact our lived experiences. I work with you to fully understand your identity so that we can collaborate towards a fuller, more authentic, joyful, and meaningful life.
By prioritising individual needs, I tailor my approach to each client using a mix of talking therapy, art, movement, and other creative approaches to promote positive, lasting change.
Together, in an accepting environment, we will work together to enable you to live life to the fullest.
Practice description:
I am an integrative creative counsellor, which means I use a mix of different therapy styles depending on what feels right for you in the moment.
I work from my private practice space at St. Augustine’s Arts and Events Centre in Brighton, and online. If you choose to see me in person, a variety of art materials and objects will be available. There is no pressure to use art materials, but they can be helpful in many ways. Sometimes words are not enough, or the right words are hard to find. The arts provide different ways to understand who we are and where we belong in life. You do not need to be an artist to find creative counselling helpful. Art and movement can help explore feelings that words cannot fully express.
I aim to create a welcoming space for exploring all feelings and support you as you process your story and emotions at a comfortable pace. If you feel stuck or confused, I use active, compassionate listening to help you move forward. I am warm and supportive, and I aim to help you find a way forward in a safe environment.
Choosing the right counsellor is crucial. You can learn more about my approach by visiting my website or Instagram account “EveryExpressionTherapies”.
If you're considering whether I'm the right fit for you, please contact me to arrange a free initial 20-minute phone call to explore further.
My first session:
I offer a free initial 20-minute phone call or online consultation. This is an opportunity to see if we are a good fit, to ask questions, and to understand how I can help you.
If you decide to commit to therapy with me our first full session will include an assessment to gather more information about you and to discuss your therapy goals.
I work with clients short, medium, and long-term, typically planning for 8-12 week blocks, with weekly sessions of 50 minutes each.
There is no obligation to commit to a certain number of sessions but working in blocks of 8-12 weeks often creates momentum for sustained change and provides a natural point to review our progress.

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.
