About me
Counselling is as much about the relationship with your therapist as it is about the process itself. Finding the right person and therapeutic approach is really important to feel supported, understood, and empowered.
I am a Humanistic counsellor, which means I work holistically, supporting you as a whole person rather than just a set of issues or challenges. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can bring whatever you're experiencing, at your own pace.
In my practice, I support people facing anxiety, depression and low self-esteem amongst many other life issues.
My training draws on a range of therapeutic approaches, including Gestalt therapy, mindfulness-based techniques, and creative methods, - especially helpful when words aren’t enough. I also have a personal and professional interest in Jungian ideas, particularly around identity, personal meaning, dreams, and the unconscious. These influences support a deeper exploration of the self and the symbolic patterns that can shape our lives.
Alongside my private practice, I have experience working within the NHS, providing counselling for depression and anxiety, and I have also volunteered as a listening volunteer for Samaritans, supporting people in acute distress.
Outside of my counselling work, I’m a busy mum of three and also work part-time in high-support accommodation, where I assist vulnerable young people in navigating life. I have a long-standing interest in meditation, Buddhism, and fitness - all of which inform my belief in the mind-body connection and the importance of balance, presence, and self-awareness in daily life.
I offer confidential, one-to-one counselling, both in person from my home in Hove and online, depending on what feels right for 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.
