About me

Do you wake up every day filled with hopelessness or dread? Are you asking yourself "what is the point?" or do you say to yourself "I can't do this anymore!" Change can't happen with out action, daring to take that first step may feel impossible but the secret to you breaking free of your chains is to take action now.

The human experience of life is both a unique and personal journey for each of us. None of us walk this path without becoming hurt or scarred along the way. For some of us the pain of our experience can leave us feeling alone, lost and overwhelmed. We may struggle and become stuck in our situation, feeling like it's never going to change.

The truth is though that as Humans we are constantly experiencing change and that the natural flow of life means it is thrust upon us whether we like it or not. What many of us forget is that we each possess within us, the ability to evolve and adapt to the situations we are faced with. Stress and anxiety often cause us to shut down our connection with our coping mechanism and leave us feeling it's out of our control.

As your counselor my aim would be to support you and assist you in reconnecting with your inner strength and self confidence again. By focusing on your needs and identifying the blocks you are experiencing, we would work together on developing your inner resolve and harness valuable skills to achieve your life goals.

I am a qualified counselor working in both the charity sector and in private practice. My training includes Person-Centered therapy, Attachment theory, Transactional Analysis and Junging theory. Each of these approaches are integrated into my work and styled around your individual needs.

I can offer you either solution focused contracts or work open ended, negotiating and reviewing our work together along the way until you feel stronger in yourself and wish to end the work.

I have a room available in South Lancing close to the seafront, that is comfortable and has parking available outside. There is also a 700 bus route at the end of the road.

I also have a room available at Dove Lodge in Littlehampton on Beach Road.

If you are disabled or elderly and find it difficult to travel or get out, I am open to negotiating home visits by prior arrangement.
