About me

I'm interested in helping people make changes, become more empowered and connect more closely with what they feel their authentic self to be. Coming from a background in the performing arts I also have a deep desire to help people move through edges, express themselves more freely and develop their sense of creativity.

As a counsellor, I aim to provide a safe, empathic and non-judgemental atmosphere in which you can explore whatever dilemma may be troubling you. This might be to do with relationships, work, identity, sexuality, creativity, coping with difficult emotions and destructive patterns, or a combination of these and other issues. Together, I would hope we can forge a therapeutic relationship that will help you develop increased awareness around yourself and whatever problems you might bring, enabling you to forge new understandings and new perspectives from which to move forward.

At the moment I only work with individuals and groups. As well as working from home in Hastings, I counsel at The Marylebone Centre in London, who's main focus is helping people with sexual addiction and compulsive sexual behaviour. I have extensive experience of counselling people who care voluntarily for others, as well as facilitating recovery for those having difficulties around alcohol and substance misuse. With my background in the performing arts, I particularly understand the issues, pressures and problems people face working in this realm.
