About me
We often expect difficulties to be loud and in your face. But struggles also build up over time and show up in the quiet moments, taking hold of your mind like a cloak muffling happiness. You might look fine on the outside, but inside it’s chaos: anxiety that won’t switch off, a low mood that dulls everything, memories that won’t stay buried.
Therapy isn’t about silencing your thoughts and feelings. It’s about learning to listen and respond to them differently. Because somewhere in the noise, there’s still you.
I specialise in supporting people struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma. This may have followed a sudden loss or change, or it may have built up over time. We’ll work gently but honestly, helping you find steadiness amongst it all, to reconnect with what matters, and begin to feel more like yourself again.
How I work
A calm, grounded space
You don’t have to come with the ‘right’ words. I’ll meet you where you are, even when things feel unclear or messy. I have a calm, steady presence and will listen to you with care, curiosity and respect.
I'm warm and attuned, but I won't just nod along. When it's helpful, I'll offer gentle challenge, supporting you to move forward without pressure or judgement.
Therapy that fits you
There’s no one-size-fits-all. We'll find a pace and focus that feel right for you. This might mean exploring your story in depth, or using tools and exercises to support you day-to-day. Often, it's a mix of both.
I’ve been doing this work for over a decade, supporting people through a wide range of challenges. You don’t need to be experiencing one of my specialisms to get help. If something in this profile resonates, you’re welcome to reach out.
Finding clarity in the noise
You might feel conflicted inside. Part of you might want change. Another part might feel unsure, afraid or even resistant. I can help you in making sense of those different parts, so you can relate to yourself with more clarity, compassion and choice.
Technical details
I mainly integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Person-centred therapy. I am also currently training in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) and am able to offer this to some people.
Taking the first step
I work both online and in-person from rooms in Brighton, supporting adults of all ages. Research shows that online is just as effective as in-person for most issues. Which you choose will come down to personal choice, but I am happy to talk this through with you if you are feeling unsure.
We can have an introductory phone call before having a first session. This gives us the chance to get a feel of how we would work together before deciding to go forward.
If something here resonates, feel free to get in touch. Whether you’re ready to begin or just want to ask a question, you’re welcome to reach out.

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.

Diversity
I hold a strong commitment to working with diversity in the counselling space, aiming to maintain a keen awareness of how the groups and cultures I represent may influence the relationship and therapy. I have enjoyed working with people of various sexualities and gender identities (LGBTQ+) and from a variety of cultural and religious backgrounds.

Additional information
It can be difficult to choose a therapist when faced with so many options. I offer a free introductory conversation so we can meet and explore whether my approach is a good fit for you.
Sessions last 50 minutes and are priced on a 'say what you can pay' basis of £60 to £70. I leave it with you to decide what is affordable - no need for justifications or explanations.
I also offer a small number of concessionary slots at £50 for those who cannot afford the full fee. I may also be able to offer counselling students this discount whilst they are having the compulsory therapy for their course. This reduced rate is available for online therapy only.
Please note that my rates will vary when claiming through insurance, depending on my agreement with each particular insurance provider.

Further information
As standard, sessions are held weekly at a fixed time and day and last 50 minutes. In some situations, I may be able to accommodate longer sessions, or fortnightly appointments. We would be able to discuss this as we move through therapy if you think it may be appropriate.
