About me
I’m an Integrative Counsellor offering individual therapeutic counselling for adults, with a trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming and creative approach. Based in Worthing and Hove, with online sessions available. As someone of West Indian heritage and as a neurodivergent person myself, I value an inclusive and anti-discriminatory approach, where your identity and lived experiences are respected. Counselling is more than a job for me. I see each client as a whole person and bring professionalism, warmth and integrity into our work together.
How I can help you
Perhaps you're feeling anxious, overwhelmed, low in confidence, or stuck in patterns that no longer feel right for you. Whatever brings you to counselling, we can explore what’s going on, where difficulties may have come from, how they’re affecting you now, and what you may like to change.
I work with anxiety, stress, depression, relationships, bereavement, life changes and trauma. I also offer space to explore neurodivergence and what it means for you personally.
How is counselling different to talking with a close friend?
It can be hard to live each day when you don't feel able to share openly. Family and friends can offer support, but those relationships are mutual — you may still find yourself thinking about their feelings or obligated to give something back. Therapy is different. This is time that is just for you, where you don't need to look after the other person too. You can say what you really think and feel, and we can take time to make sense of it together.
How I work
Person-Centred counselling is at the heart of my practice. As an Integrative Counsellor, I draw on different therapeutic perspectives, adapting our work to what is most relevant to you. There isn’t a set way that therapy must look, and you can bring whatever feels important to our sessions. While therapy may feel challenging at times, you’ll be supported to go at your pace through the process, and this can lead to healing and personal growth.
I know traditional ways of communicating and processing aren’t helpful for everyone. I value finding ways of working that is comfortable for you. When words feel difficult or talking feels overwhelming, I may invite you to explore through creative materials such as sand, art and objects. These can offer another way to express and understand your feelings, particularly when working with trauma. You don’t need to be artistic—the materials are simply tools for exploring emotions through symbols and colour. Creative interventions can be used indoors and outdoors.
Outdoor Counselling offers the same therapeutic work as indoor sessions, with the added benefits of movement and nature. It can offer a calming side-by-side conversation with the opportunity to bring the environment and natural materials into our therapeutic work. Materials may also be collected during outdoor therapy for use at indoor sessions. Outdoor sessions are discussed and planned in advance.
Who I work with
I work one-to-one with clients aged 18 and over.
Taking that first step
I offer a free initial consultation (up to 20 minutes) by phone or online (Microsoft Teams), giving you time to share your main concerns, explain what you’re hoping to get from counselling, and decide whether I’m the right fit for you. An initial counselling appointment can then be arranged and I will send you an email to confirm the appointment time with further details about the therapy room location if attending in-person.
Please enquire via the directory using the Book Intro call link or the Email me link- these are located at the top of the page. I aim to respond within 48 hours.
When you enquire via phone- call or text (located top right-hand side of the page),
- Please leave a message with your name and number.
- Let me know if I can leave a message on your number and if there is a preferred time to return your call.
- If you text to arrange a consultation—please don’t include details of your personal issues.
Fees range from £40.00-£50.00 per 50 minute session. Information about fees can be found further down the page.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.

In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
