About me
Integrative Transpersonal Psychotherapist offering online and in person counselling and psychotherapy, based in Brighton (BN1) and Seaford (BN25).
You might have noticed yourself feeling more overwhelmed, more sensitive, or more alone than usual, especially when the world around you seems to expect a cheerful mood and to just 'get on with it'.
I'm an experienced UKCP psychotherapist working with adults of all backgrounds, identities, faiths and cultures, and I am committed to providing an inclusive, culturally sensitive, and LGBTQ+ affirming space.
Many people who come to see me are struggling with the impact of trauma, anxiety, grief, difficult family relationships and Complex PTSD (CPTSD).
Maybe you are feeling triggered in relationships, repeating familiar dynamics that bring pain or confusion.
Perhaps you feel an ongoing sense of not being “enough,” or notice old emotional wounds resurfacing during times of stress, intimacy, or change.
I also have experience in helping clients understand and regulate anger, ADHD, and neurodiversity.
Some of my clients grew up with childhood trauma, perhaps through a complicated or painful relationship with caregivers, emotional chaos at home, addiction in the family, or difficulties at school, such as bullying, feeling different, or not getting needs met.
These early experiences often resurface, leaving you feeling triggered, anxious, or caught in familiar patterns that are hard to break.
I'm trained and experienced to work creatively and thoughtfully with imagination-based tools (imaginative inner world, recognising dreams, memories, and meaningful synchronicities).
How can I help you?
I offer a calm, steady space where you can slow down and make sense of what’s happening inside, and around you. My approach is gentle and reflective, rooted in depth psychotherapy. This means we don’t only look at your present-day struggles, but explore the deeper layers, your feelings, thought patterns, dreams, and the protective ways you’ve learned to cope.
Together, we work at a pace that feels safe, helping you to self-sooth old wounds, understand yourself more fully, and build a stronger, more grounded sense of who you are.
My approach and what that means for you...
My approach to psychotherapy is soulful and depth-oriented. I offer a warm, confidential space where you can explore what’s happening beneath the surface of your life, the patterns, images, and emotional undercurrents that shape your experience. Working together, we listen for the meaning within what is troubling you and the wisdom that can emerge from difficulty.
Together we can explore these experiences at your own pace, paying attention to the body, to emotional safety, and to what feels manageable in each moment. My work is trauma-informed and rooted in mindfulness and compassion, supporting you to regulate overwhelming emotions, to recognise your own triggers, and to begin to feel more grounded and at ease within yourself.
As we work at depth, therapy can become a process of reconnecting with your inner life, the parts of you that have been silenced, exiled, or forgotten. Sometimes this includes working with dreams, imagination, and symbolic images that arise spontaneously in the psyche. These inner expressions can help you access meaning, intuition, and creativity, opening new ways of seeing yourself and your story.
I understand how early attachment experiences can leave lasting imprints on how we relate and feel about ourselves. I will provide a space to bring awareness and healing to these early patterns, helping you to develop a more secure and compassionate connection to your own inner world.
Previous clients often say...
Clients often tell me that therapy helps them begin to feel more present, more self-aware, and better able to respond, rather than react, in their relationships. Through this process, you can start to recognise your choices, develop emotional resilience, and feel a renewed sense of meaning and direction in life.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, angry or just not quite yourself - I offer short and long-term therapy, and you’re warmly invited to contact me for a free 15-minute conversation so we can talk things through and see if working together feels like the right fit.

Additional information
My fees are £70 - £90 for a 50 minute session, sliding scale. Occasionally, a slightly lower fee may be negotiated for student therapists.
Our first session together comprises of an initial assessment, where we explore your background and reasons for coming for therapy. The first session has therapeutic value in itself, and will give you a sense of what I offer. After this assessment, we make a mutual decision as to whether working together feels appropriate. I suggest making an initial commitment of 6-12 sessions, and then we can review. I offer a 15 minute telephone consultation free of charge prior to booking a first session.
I am registered with Bupa and welcome clients who wish to access therapy through their Bupa health insurance.
