About me
Hello and welcome to my blurb. I know it can potentially be a daunting experience choosing a therapist so I’ll try and make it as easy as possible to see a glimpse of me, and be clear on how it all works.
What is most important for me is to be authentic, open-minded and honest in everything that I do, including my practice. I will always endeavour to be myself, which I hope will give you the permission to bring your whole self. I’m a person-centred therapist, which means that I am led by you and will be with you in your therapeutic journey as long as you want me there.
I believe that my own life experience contributes to what I bring as a therapist and who I am as a person. I’ve done a wide array of jobs since I started working 18 years ago, but mostly I’ve focused on people. I’ve worked with the homeless, nomadic communities, young people, and unpaid carers. It’s very important for me to be accessible to all people who want the support, and I really welcome questions of any sort. As a queer person, it’s important to me for that to be known, so that queer people feel as safe as possible coming to me.
I have experience in a wide variety of issues and traumas that people may come to therapy for, and I’m here to listen to, and to understand what you’re coming to therapy for.
How it Works
I offer a free initial 15-minute phone or video call just to make sure that I offer what you are looking for. I’d encourage ‘shopping around’ to find the right therapist for you. I won’t be offended if it isn’t me!
If you decide I am right for you, we will hopefully find a time that works for us. Our sessions will be 50 minutes long and be weekly. If you are looking for fortnightly, please let me know and I will see what I can do.
I’m based in Brighton, but also happy to do online sessions if that’s helpful.
Training, qualifications & experience
L4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling from Haulm in Hove
BACP Certificate of Proficiency
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.
