About me

I offer counselling for adults in Brighton and online across the UK. I work with people experiencing anxiety, bereavement, grief, low self-esteem, and times of feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

You do not need to arrive with a clear goal or know exactly what to say. Therapy can begin with whatever feels most important, even if it is difficult to put into words.

My approach is integrative, shaped by the relationship we build together and by what feels most supportive for you. You set the direction, and I work alongside you to make sense of your experiences.

We may spend time with thoughts or feelings that feel difficult, return to experiences that feel unresolved, or begin to notice patterns in how you relate to yourself and others.

Alongside talking, I may also use writing, imagery, or other gentle ways of exploring where helpful. These are always optional and used to support the work.

I offer face-to-face counselling in Brighton and online sessions for adults aged 18 and over.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
