About me

I am a BACP/NCS Registered Person-Centred therapist and Supervisor, offering long or short term, individual and relationship counselling online and in Worthing/Brighton. 

I work with adults (18+) who are gay, queer, bi, straight, pan, kink, asexual, sexuality questioning and all genders including trans, intersex, cis, non-binary, genderqueer, agender and gender questioning.  I work with couples, partnerships and relationships including same-sex, heterosexual, bi-sexual, open, monogamous and polyamorous.

Areas of specialism: relationship diversity, sexual health, sexuality, gender, neurodiversity, alcohol issues, trauma/abuse and chronic illness including Ehlers-Danos, Multiple Sclerosis, Motor neurone disease, Chronic Fatigue, Long Covid and Fibromyalgia. I am also experienced in working with partners of people exploring gender transition.

I am committed to providing an inclusive, welcoming, safe and confidential space.

How I work

You may not be sure why you are feeling drawn to counselling but something may not feel quite right now in your life, you may not know what you are looking for or who you are and how to be, or it could be that you have a specific issue. Life experiences such as relationships, family, health, work, loss, trauma, feeling different, being marginalised and injustice can all cause differing levels of pain, confusion and anxiety. We can explore these feelings at your pace, perhaps you are feeling sad, isolated, or angry or may not be sure about what is going on for you or may even find defining ‘a you’ difficult.

I offer a type of therapy called ‘Person-Centred’. It is a non-medical, non-judgmental, non-directive approach to therapy. I offer a genuinely accepting of all of you, empathic and safe space for us to explore your feelings, experiences, thoughts and memories. I will not direct, advise or guide you but will be alongside and together we can explore your world and gain an understanding about what it means for you and how that may affect your next steps in life.

You may already have experience of being in counselling or it may be something that you are just considering. I understand how daunting it can be to contact a stranger when you may be finding life difficult. I offer an initial phone call where we can talk through how it may work and answer any questions that you have about coming to counselling. We can then discuss availability and book in a first session if you wish.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am an experienced counsellor and run a private practice from home in Worthing, West Sussex. I am a member of BACP and NCS and I am listed on their registers, which are accredited by the Professional Standards Authority. I abide by the BACP Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions and I regularly see a confidential clinical supervisor to support my work.

I also worked at East London Out Project (ELOP) a specialist LGBTQ charity offering counselling and group support in Walthamstow, East London. I was a counsellor at the Drug and Alcohol Wellbeing Service run by Turning Point in Westminster. I have completed specialist training in supporting individuals with their drug and alcohol use as well as being a group facilitator for SMART Recovery UK.

I was a volunteer counsellor at  Mind in Enfield working with individuals who had received a mental health diagnosis and looking at what it meant for them and supporting those in emotional despair.

I have explored extensively, in personal therapy over many years, my own experiences and have developed a trustworthy self from which I can experience and be in the world.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
