About me
I practice integrative therapy: I work with individual adults in Brighton, Hove, London Bridge and Central London. I see clients in person and on-line.
As an integrative therapist I aim to be open, responsive and present to what you bring to each session. I draw from psychodynamic, humanistic and attachment informed approaches. This means I work with the impact of experiences in childhood and adolescence, but also pay close attention to current relationships and the here-and-now experience in the therapy room.
I can also help to deepen awareness through embodied approaches if this is something you are open to. This can be particularly helpful when working with trauma and dissociation but can also give new perspectives on a situation that has felt stuck for a long time. What is important for me is to offer a space for you to explore in a way that feels right for you.
I work with many issues including but not limited to:
Relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, trauma, feeling stuck. Issues related to work such as stress, burn out, managing conflict or not feeling good enough. Issues relating to gender/sexuality and neurodiversity. I particularly enjoy working with people towards discovering a deeper sense of purpose, creativity and a stronger sense of their own potential. My practice is diverse and I am sensitive to social, sexual and cultural difference.
I am a fully qualified and registered Member of the BACP (The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).
Starting Therapy
We all face challenges throughout life, sometimes these can feel overwhelming We can loose confidence in ourselves and find it difficult to make decisions or move forward. Or we may want to change direction in life but have trouble knowing exactly what this looks like or need help in seeing it through. There may be experiences in our past that still impact us or relationships that we want to make sense of or improve.
Booking an initial session
To find out more how therapy can help or book an initial session please contact me via phone or email and I will get back to you as soon as possible. We can then arrange an initial session for you to talk about what has brought you to counselling, this is an opportunity for us to meet and see how we might work together. I offer one to one 50 minute sessions on either a long term basis or for a shorter period.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained at the Minster Centre in London, the leading integrative counselling and psychotherapy training institute.
In addition to my private practice I have experience working with adults in community based therapy services in West Norwood (therapist and assessor) and Queen’s Park (therapist).
I am a registered member of the BACP and I abide by their code of ethics.
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.
