About me
Are you feeling overwhelmed or anxious, grieving a loved one or lost opportunity? Maybe you have a dilemma or relationship issues that you need to talk about, or difficulties at work. Or maybe there is trauma from your past that you feel now is the time to process. Whatever it is, I understand the importance of being truly seen and heard. With my warm and caring nature, my aim is to offer a safe, non-judgemental space for you to share in and provide the space for you to understand your thoughts and emotions and find ways to deal with them. I am a qualified integrative counselling offering sessions in a variety of ways to suit you: online, walk and talk (Horsham Park), in person (Horsham) or home visits within the Horsham area and look forward to hearing from you.

Further information
I love the sea and particularly watching the waves, whether they be calmly lapping at the shore or powerfully crashing against rocks. There is a saying about our emotions and waves that says, 'Feelings are like waves. We can't stop them from coming but we can choose which ones to surf.' (Jonatan Martensson). I think that's so true, and as a counsellor I love sitting with people as they explore their emotions in a safe place and learn ways of surfing.
I am an integrative counsellor which means I draw on different approaches to best suit you such as CBT, psychodynamic and person-centred therapy and I also enjoy working creatively, when appropriate, to help you view and explore your thoughts and feelings in a different way, using resources such as shells, cards, sand and art.
I have worked with children, youth and adults in various settings for many years and currently also work at Arise Counselling Service in East Grinstead. I am a registered member of ACC, following their code of ethics.
I offer counselling either online, walk and talk in Horsham Park, in person (Horsham) or can offer home visits within the Horsham area for those who would otherwise find it difficult to access counselling.
