About me


I offer counselling services in a peaceful, relaxed and safe environment. Here you can explore your issues and find resolutions with my help. I am based in a rural setting in Sidlesham just four miles from Chichester.

The added benefit of coming to see me is that there are no parking fees or commuting complications and you will feel immediately at ease and away from your everyday stresses.

You will be in safe hands. I have over ten years experience of Counselling in the NHS and other agencies, helping people like you with a range of issues and circumstances. I will help you get to the heart of your problem quickly so we can explore ways to get you back in charge of your life and making decisions that are right for you. I am an accredited member of BACP, which means I am acknowledged as well trained and extremely experienced in all areas of therapy.

I offer a free 30 minute assessment appointment which enables you to come along and decide if I can help you get back on track. The counselling relationship is really important in enabling recovery and I want you to be sure that we can work effectively together.

My website gives more information on how I work and my philosophy.


Student Counsellors

My training is Humanistic. I am experienced in offering therapy to student counsellors. I understand the stresses placed on you and can help you navigate your way through the variety of expectations placed on you. I offer extended hours and weekend appointments to fit in with the balancing act of the course requirements, supervision and a placement.

Areas of counselling I deal with

        Therapies offered

        Fees

        Counselling can be tailored to short term, more solution focussed sessions with perhaps one issue to resolve.  Or open ended, more long term sessions where there are many issues to untangle and consider.  We will review our sessions regularly and ensure that you are getting what you need to get well.

        I offer a free thirty minute assessment appointment.

        Thereafter a 50 minute session costs £35.00 for individual counselling.

        Couples costs £45.00 for a 60 minute session.

        Student Counsellor rate £30.00

        Any cancelled sessions will encounter a 50% charge. Missed sessions will be charged at full price.

        Payment can be made by cash or bank transfer.
