Person Cenred Counselling. Couples Therapy, ADHD, Supervisor
Brighton BN1 & Eastbourne BN21

About me

I welcome both neurodiverse and neurotypical clients. I specialise in ADHD,Autism, trauma, relationships, domestic abuse, anxiety, and depression. As a qualified Person‑Centred counsellor, certified ADHD coach, supervisor, and neurodivergent consultant, I combine professional training with lived experience of ADHD to offer practical, compassionate support.

My approach is holistic and evidence based, tailored, drawing on Person‑Centred therapy, NLP, DBT, and coaching techniques. I work with clients aged 16+ and have experience with trauma, grief, eating disorders, personality disorders, and couple dynamics.

Counselling provides a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect. I won’t tell you how to live your life — I’ll support you in finding your own way forward.

Sessions available on Zoom, phone, and face‑to‑face.

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.

Accredited register membership
