Supporting you to make sense of life's challenging experiences.
I will provide you with a confidential, warm and safe space to explore what has brought you to counselling, building a trusting and supportive relationship where you will not be judged. Through exploration of your thoughts and feelings, I will be alongside you while you gain insight and make the positive changes you need, helping to bring clarity to your issues and allowing you to find the path ahead that suits you best.

About me and my practice
I am a qualified person-centred, humanistic counsellor, supporting adults in my private practice in person and online in East Sussex.
Alongside my private practice, I work at the Sussex Cancer Centre in Brighton, supporting both cancer patients and their families facing the difficulties a diagnosis can bring and at Sussex MS Centre near Brighton, working with clients affected by MS and other debilitating long term ill health issues.
I have previous experience of working with the bereaved in a local hospice and also working at a low cost counselling service where I gained experience working with those bereaved by suicide.
As a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I adhere to their ethical framework and attend regular clinical supervision to maintain professional standards. I have full personal liability insurance, am DBS checked and am committed to building on my experience with regular Continuing Professional Development.
