About me

Many of us are waking up every day filled with hopelessness or dread because of the Coronavirus! We are struggling to understand what is happening to our society and our anxiety and fear levels are growing fast! For NHS Staff, some of you may see terrible events unfold in front of you, which may leave you feeling overwhelmed or traumatized. None of us have ever experienced this kind of crises before. It is unprecedented and terrifying but together we can pull through this!

The human experience of life is always a unique and personal journey for each of us but right now all human life across our wonderful planet, is facing huge challenges and experiencing great loss. None of us walk the path of life without becoming hurt or scarred at some point, for some, the pain of these experience will take them to new heights of emotional discomfort and it may take time to recover from them. Staying in isolation may mean some of us are completely alone and abandoned, fearful of who to trust, while others may feel trapped, living with someone who is controlling and or even violent. The situation for all of us may leave us feeling overwhelmed. We may struggle and become stuck in our situation, feeling like it's never going to end or change.

The truth is though that as Humans we are constantly experiencing change. 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 Jungian theory. Each of these approaches are integrated into my work and styled around your individual needs.

I can offer you 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.

Once isolation has ended, 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 which has wheel chair access and disabled parking.
