About me
I believe that good therapy can make a significant difference to how we feel in life. It can help us know ourselves a little better and through this discovery we can be better placed to navigate difficulty and distress. Therapy can bring awareness to unhelpful patterns and behaviours. Exploring these together can help the client build resilience and personal responsibility which can lead to a more authentic experience of life.
I work across the breadth mental health issues including anxiety and depression. I offer a collabrative person centered approach which also taps into other therapeutic influences. I will offer you a safe non judgemental space, I won't tell you what to do, rather together we will try to make sense of what has been going on in your life, what has bought you to therapy.
Baby Loss support & therapy
For over 10 years I have worked in the Brighton & Hove area specifically supporting families who have experienced pregnancy loss. I have done this alongside my other therapy work. I have worked through charities such as Oscar's Wish Foundation and Harbour Counselling and also in private practice. I am able to offer counselling for miscarriage, termination, still birth and neonatal death as well as well as providing support to parents navigating pregnancy after loss. I also have training and experience in supporting clients through the fertility journey, whatever shape that might take.
I am a member of the BACP and the NCPS and adhere to their ethical frameworks. I am fully insured and continue to attend professional development courses and learning opportunities.
It takes courage to reach out and ask for help. I offer a free introductory phone or online call to discuss what you might want to get out of therapy, and to see if we are a good fit.

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.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. 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.
