About me

I think counselling can offer a safe and non-judgemental space where the challenges and struggles life can throw at us can be explored in ways that can be hugely beneficial.

I will aim provide an accepting environment where you can bring any issues which are concerning you. Its not often we get the chance to just be ourselves, and to speak freely and honestly about what is going on for us. I believe that the therapeutic relationship will provide the right conditions for this to be possible and that this in turn may help you navigate through what ever is troubling you.

I offer general counselling and have experience of working with depression, anxiety, self harm, bereavement, and have particular experience of working with young people and the issues they face. In addition I have several years experience of counselling those who have faced loss associated with pregnancy.

I am a registered member of the BACP and I adhere to the BACP’s Ethical Framework for Counselling Professionals. I am fully insured.

I am able to offer sessions in both Brighton, Hove & Steyning, in bright modern therapy rooms. My usual rate is £45 for 50 minutes, I also offer a concession rate to students and those on low income.

I know it maybe daunting taking the first step towards coming for counselling. Do please get in touch and we can have a conversation about how it might work for you. It is very important to find the right counsellor for you and I appreciate its hard to make an informed choice from studying a profile. I offer a reduced rate of £20 for the first session to see if it feels right for you. Hopefully we will then be able to arrange a weekly meeting.
