About me
I offer counselling to adults and am based in Lewes, East Sussex. Counselling will enable you to recognise and explore your deeper responses and feelings towards aspects of your life such as relationships, family and career. You may need support with a challenging situation or overwhelming feelings and want to change and understand of what is stopping you from feeling content. If you are feeling confused, counselling can enable you get clarity and move closer towards a sense of what feels right for you. I can help with a range of issues you may be experiencing including:
- Anxiety/stress
- Panic
- Depression
- Grief & bereavement
- Low self-esteem/self-worth
- Relationship breakdown
- Separation & divorce
- Work/career stress
- Coping with life changes
I work from a Humanistic approach, creating a supportive space which will enable you to look more closely at the issues you are facing and work towards change.
Training, qualifications & experience
Currently, alongside private practice, I work for two BACP registered counselling services in Brighton and Sussex.
I hold a Post-Graduate Diploma in Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counselling and am registered with the British Association of Counselling Practitioners (MBACP)
Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).
