About me
You don’t have to suffer alone. I’ve been a therapeutic counsellor for over 12 years and have a wealth of experience helping people who are distressed, overwhelmed and despairing.
I offer compassionate supportive therapy for adults. I’m person-centred in my approach and am trauma informed. I will be empathic and accepting and genuine with you, without judgement.
You may be feeling anxious, lost, bereaved, fearful or depressed. You might be struggling with low self esteem and low self worth. Talking things through and exploring your concerns can really help ease things, bringing a huge sense of relief.
Together we can find a way forward.
I offer a safe place to talk about how you feel, a confidential environment where you can be yourself without the fear of being judged.
Exploring what's going on for you on a deeper level, making sense of situations, understanding past and current relationships can help you get to know yourself more and find ways of coping better.
In sessions I will support you to begin to make the changes you want in your life, then you can begin to feel more connected to yourself and with others. We will establish a trusting therapeutic relationship where you will have the space to process things and find more clarity.
Being fully heard and accepted by another human being can be life changing, transformative…
In sessions you can expect:
- A genuine, warm, approachable and respectful environment.
- Confidential, professional and ethical practice. BACP registered and insured. Fully trained & qualified counsellor.
- 12 years counselling experience.
- Weekly one to one sessions which last for 50 minutes.
- Sessions are held in a beautiful peaceful space which is private and confidential.
I offer short term and long term counselling for adults. In-person sessions are held in a central Lewes location. I also offer online sessions via Zoom.
The first introduction session lasts for 30 minutes and is free of charge. This gives us a chance to get to know each other and find out if I'm the right therapist for you at this time.
Do get in contact for more information, or to book your introduction session. I look forward to hearing from you.

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.
