About me

Counselling in person in Hove or online:

You may want support in a difficult time, to work short term on a particular difficulty or to enter into a longer process of unpacking your past experiences and history in order to understand how they may be affecting you now, so that you can make different choices moving forward.  

I offer both short and long term counselling. My style is gentle, empathic and holding.

I counsel adults around a wide range of issues. ​These include: anxiety, family & relationship difficulties, depression and low self-esteem. I have a special interest and training in working with boarding school survivors and run a fortnightly therapeutic support group for ex boarders. 

​​I am a member of NCPS and UKATA, abide by their codes of ethics and am fully insured.

Training, qualifications & experience

My core training is in Transactional Analysis (TA) counselling and psychotherapy; I have additional training and experience in working with adult ex-boarders.
