About me
I'm an integrative psychotherapist practising in person in Brighton and online. My experience spans a broad range of issues, including, though not limited to, chronic health issues, depression, anxiety, stress and grief. My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirmative and neurodivergent affirmative.
Navigating life can be challenging. If you long for change but are uncertain about how to move forward, therapy can help.
In my role, I offer a warm and compassionate space allowing you to explore the underlying emotional dynamics and significance of your life experiences. The body plays a significant role in processing emotional pain and I’m here to support you in listening deeply to yourself, facilitating a connection between your thoughts and feelings to your physical experience
How we have experienced the world so far, our past relationships, and our childhood shape how we interpret the world today. Together, we will explore the world as you have experienced, offering support to address the issues that matter most and shaping new connections with your world.
Please email me to arrange a free 20-minute telephone or video consultation. We can discuss what's brought you to counselling, and I will explain how I work and answer any questions you may have.
Training, qualifications & experience
I started my career in acting but chronic health conditions meant I was unable to continue with that path. After taking some time to re-adjust, I undertook the journey to work in counselling and psychotherapy. These experiences mean I can support those who work in this field and any other industry that requires intense performance practice, as well as supporting those who are living with chronic illness and long-term health conditions.
Over the last 9 years, I have worked in various roles supporting adults with their mental health, such as charities, low-cost counselling services and private practice.
- Post-Graduate Diploma Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy - University of Roehampton
- Graduate certificate in Humanistic and Psychodynamic Counselling - Goldsmiths University of London
- Currently training in - Diploma in contemporary trauma practice: mind, body and relationship
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.
