I am a warm and empathic qualified Integrative Therapist (BACP registered) with over 1500 clinical hours, offering clients a welcoming space to explore difficult feelings without judgement, and with the aim to bring about positive change.  

Our therapeutic relationship will be honest, and most importantly, equal. Whilst I will not be an expert on you, telling you what you should do, neither will I be a passive counsellor who remains distanced. Instead, I will walk alongside you, offering empathy, insight, and unconditional positive regard.

My practice is situated in a garden room in Hassocks, and I enjoy the peace and calm that it offers, and hope that you will too. Access is through a side gate, and the room is not overlooked, ensuring your privacy is protected, and allowing you to focus solely on what you hope to achieve in sessions.

My Integrative Diploma qualification offered in-depth training in multiple approaches; Person Centred Therapy, Gestalt, Transactional Analysis, Psychodynamic and Solution Focussed Therapy. 

I work predominantly from a Humanistic perspective, meeting the person where they are in the moment, allowing the theory to support, rather than dominate.

I have worked for the NHS, at the Sussex Cancer Centre, supporting patients and their families who are undergoing life altering diagnosis and treatment. It is nothing less than a privilege to meet and offer support to these clients at such a traumatic time in their lives, and it is work I will continue with in the future, alongside my practice. As such, I do have particular experience supporting through the trauma of serious illness.

In addition, I have experience counselling individuals facing a number of difficulties, such as;

Bereavement

Trauma

Serious illness

Suicidal Ideation

Self Harm

Depression

Anxiety

Loss

Fear of Dying

Family & Relationship issues

Low self-esteem

Cancer

Health Anxiety

Divorce & Separation

Making the initial decision to seek out counselling can be a challenge, and thereafter, finding the right person for you even more so. 

I am happy to answer any questions you may have, with no obligation, and if it feels right, you are welcome to make contact to arrange an initial 30-minute meeting, with no charge.
