About me
It's not always an easy decision to come for therapy and you may decide to come to seek additional support for something that has been worrying you for a while or due to a current upset, such as a relationship breakdown or bereavement. Depression, Anxiety and Panic Attacks are all common experiences for us when we experience struggles in our lives and therapy can help us to make sense of these symptoms.
I am a professionally qualified therapist with over 20 years of experience working in Brighton and Hove. I offer short and long term counselling to individuals. I am a Registered Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), which means I work within the BACP's Ethical Framework. I also hold professional insurance.
The therapeutic relationship I offer allows you the time and space to explore some of the things that are causing you distress and/or anxiety. I can help you to make sense of your current situation by identifying themes and patterns that can sometimes make us feel stuck and unable to move on in life. This gives you the opportunity to explore the way you are feeling and gain a more empowered sense of self.
I work within a safe and confidential setting, adhering to a professional framework and using my experience as a trained psychotherapist. I have a background in psychology and in mental health, working in the fields of trauma and mental health support, alongside working as a psychotherapist. I work in private practice and have worked in a school and university settings.

Member organisations
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.
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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
