About me
Are you struggling with a loss or life change that’s left you feeling unlike yourself? Struggling to process trauma or think about the future?
When something shifts—like a bereavement, relationship ending, or change in identity—it can leave you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward.
I specialise in supporting people through loss in its many forms - not just the loss of a loved one, but also loss of confidence, direction, relationships, or sense of self.
I offer a calm, supportive and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly and begin to make sense of what you’re feeling, at your own pace.
How I can help
Many people I work with feel:
Overwhelmed or emotionally drained
Anxious, low, or lacking confidence
Stuck and unsure what to do next
Changed by a loss or life experience
Together, we can:
Make sense of difficult emotions
Understand what’s going on for you
Explore patterns in your thoughts and relationships
Rebuild confidence and self-understanding
Help you feel more grounded and able to move forward
My approach
I work in a person-centred and integrative way, tailoring sessions to you as an individual.
Some people need space to talk and process what’s happened. Others want to understand themselves more deeply or make changes in their lives. We will work together at a pace that feels right for you.
Experience
Alongside my private practice, I have supported clients experiencing grief and loss through bereavement work with Cruse since 2021, as well as working with anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges.
Before becoming a counsellor, I had a background in elite sport. This gives me an understanding of identity, pressure, and the emotional impact of change and transition.
Injury, anxiety, retirement, rejection, identity, low self esteem and bereavement are particular areas of interest but I also work with clients around relationship issues, sexuality (including clients from the LGBTQIA+community), low self esteem and low confidence.
I have a welcoming Therapy room in Worthing Town Centre with parking
I offer a free initial consultation so you can see if I’m the right fit for you.
Taking the first step
Reaching out can feel difficult, especially if you’re used to coping alone.
If you’re thinking about starting therapy, you’re very welcome to get in touch—we can take it one step at a time.

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.

Additional information
Finding the right counsellor is really important, but it can be confusing and even a bit scary. You need to choose someone you can connect with, so I offer an initial 30 minute telephone consultation free of charge to discuss your needs and talk about how we could work effectively together.
If you decide I am the right therapist for you, there will be a short assessment form to complete and then sessions can be carried out online, on the telephone or face to face including walk and talk therapy.
Sessions are 50 minutes in duration
I am open to negotiation for clients on benefits or a low income depending on your circumstances.
