About me
Hello, I am Ross, a psychotherapist providing 121 therapy in Worthing and Brighton. I work with both individuals and couples.
I don’t believe therapy should be mysterious or intimidating. My style of therapy is warm, honest and human; I like to be transparent about the process and am open to feedback.
Together we will embark upon a process of radical reflection - this will enable you to see more clearly the parts of your life which are blocking you from reaching your full potential. Although the content of what we talk about may sometimes be painful, therapy can also at times be playful, creative and joyful.
SPECIFIC AREAS OF INTEREST/EXPERIENCE
- Compulsive behaviours and addictions
- ADHD and living with a scattered/neurodivergent mind
- Complex family dynamics and family estrangement
- Anxiety, angst and rumination
- Feelings of lostness, confusion and melancholia.
Whatever the challenge, therapy can help you to see and act with greater clarity while moving closer towards specific goals. It is my role to guide you along this journey in a manner that is collaborative and respectful.
If you're feeling stuck or confused, therapy can provide a new perspective and unlock healthier ways to live.
"Problems are the outward signs of unused inner possibilities." (Rollo May)
I am trained in Existential Psychotherapy; this is an approach which looks at how we manage freedom and responsibility, and how we create meaning in our lives. I also integrate other psychological techniques and ideas which can help with anxiety, depression and mood swings.
Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked as a script editor and producer in television.
I work from my home in Worthing BN11. You may meet my friendly whippet, Blitzen, but if you have allergies I can keep her in another room. I also work from the Brighton Therapy Centre, BN1.
"Freedom is what we do with what is done to us." (Jean-Paul Sartre)

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.
