About me

Hello, I’m Kirstie. I’m a UKCP registered psychotherapist working in person in West Sussex. I offer an integrated therapeutic approach using a range of psychotherapy interventions, to help you make the changes you want to move on with your life. The treatment you receive will be as unique as you are, to help bring about deep and therefore lasting change. Therapy is collabrative, we will work together in helping you make the changes you want to make in your life.

I specialise in working with self-esteem, anxiety and stress, trauma / PTSD, depression, habits and fears; but have the qualifications and experience to deal with a much wider range of issues including chronic pain, fibromyalagia, tinnitus, migraines and functional disorders.

I am also trained in behavioural therapy and coaching for ADHD. I additionally offer therapy if you are suffering from PTSD/Trauma and are also neurodivergent. Using trauma based therapy interventions underpinned with ADHD support to help you stabilise, process, integrate and ultimately move on with your life. 

The broad range of approaches that I am trained in and the way that I combine these will completely tailor your therapy to you. My practice offers privacy, space, and support for you to take the time to focus on the issues and goals you have and to help you explore what you want from your life in a non-judgemental environment. I am a recognised provider of psychotherapy with the majority of medical insurers including AXA Health, Aviva, WPA and Vitality.

Training, qualifications & experience

I trained at Masters Level in integrated psychotherapy including EMDR, psychoanalysis, hypnotherapy,  behaviourism,  psychodynamic therapy,  psychopathology, and psychosensorimotor therapy. I have full professional indemnity insurance and in keeping with my professional code of conduct, I undergo regular supervision.

Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
