You might be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or quietly struggling while appearing to cope on the outside. Many people come to therapy when they’re tired of going round in circles, overthinking, or carrying things on their own.

I work with adults who want a space that is calm, honest, and grounded, where they can slow things down, make sense of what’s happening, and begin to feel more like themselves again.

Therapy with me is relational and thoughtful. I will listen carefully, but I will also gently challenge patterns that keep you stuck.

I often work with people experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, feeling stuck, shame, and life transitions. This includes people who appear to function well outwardly but feel disconnected or overwhelmed internally.

-------------------------------------------------------

The relationship between us is central. I work in a humanistic and integrative way, meaning I adapt my approach to you, rather than working from a rigid model.

Some people come needing to be heard without judgement. Others want challenge, perspective, or help understanding long-standing patterns. We can move at your pace, but with purpose. I bring both professional training and lived experience into the room, which helps me stay grounded and present with whatever you bring into the room.

I’m likely to be a good fit if you’re open to reflection and honest conversation, even when things feel uncomfortable. If you’re looking for quick fixes or advice-giving, my approach may not suit you.

My counselling room in Saltdean (BN2) is a comfortable, private, and non-judgmental space to talk about whatever you want, with the assurance of confidentiality. There is ample parking on the street outside with no charges.

I also work in central Hove (BN3) based within easy walking distance of Hove railway station. Paid on street parking nearby.

I can also meet online 

If what you’ve read resonates, you’re welcome to get in touch to ask questions or arrange an initial conversation to see if I’m the right fit.

I also offer supervision for counsellors and trainees, providing a reflective and supportive space to think about client work, ethics, and professional development.

Thanks for stopping by, and whatever you decide,
I wish you all the best.

How I work

My work is grounded in person-centred values, with a pluralistic approach that allows me to draw on different ways of working depending on what you need. I place strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship and on creating a space that feels safe, honest, and collaborative.

In practice, this means I work thoughtfully and relationally, combining careful listening with gentle challenge when it feels helpful. I am less focused on labels and techniques, and more interested in understanding your experience, patterns, and what might help you move forward.

I often work with adults who appear to be coping on the outside but feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected internally. Common themes include anxiety, health anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and work-related stress.
