Counselling in CB1
In my experience, we often come to therapy when we feel stuck in a way of living which has become increasingly difficult and painful to sustain. Perhaps you feel life is simply surviving not thriving; that relationships have become a prison or a battlefield; that you are lost, without purpose or passion; that the future seems more scary than exciting? If any of this resonates with you, my existential approach will help you explore and process any trauma in your past; pain in the present and anxiety about the future. Helping to bring the 'real you' out of hiding and find a more joyful, peaceful and authentic way of living.

In order to fly, all one must do is simply miss the ground - writes Douglas Adams. You will find an attuned, compassionate, therapeutic environment, where there is warmth, empathy, an active interest in your needs and strengths, as well as acceptance of, all of your experiences. I seek to provide containment for pain and distress that you may be going through so that you feel safe to open up and explore options for your complex life challenges. I'm an experienced, BACP & COSRT-registered relationship/couples counsellor & sex therapist, initially trained as a psychologist in Budapest & having worked in the UK for the past 15 years.

Throughout our lives, we are often confronted with experiences and/or difficulties that challenge us. Sometimes, these challenges can leave us struggling and in need of a space in which we we can safely explore, understand, and learn how to overcome these issues. Through careful exploration, not only is it possible to learn how to overcome these challenges, we can also begin to understand how they can in fact offer us new opportunities to learn and grow. I take a open and collaborative approach to therapy and am keen to support you with any challenges you are facing

Do you find yourself wanting to belong and are not sure how to fit in? Do you feel stuck and are unsure of how to move forwards? Have you found your tribe or community yet? Do you feel like an outsider or disconnected from others? These might just scratch the surface of the questions that may come up, and they are all important in gaining awareness of what might be lying underneath. We all want to feel a sense of belonging and being part of something other than ourselves, which is engrained in the way we interact with the world around us.

I am a Jungian Psychoanalyst with a deep commitment to helping individuals navigate life’s transitions, relationship challenges and the journey towards wholeness. Drawing from Carl Jung’s analytical psychology I work with clients to explore the unconscious patterns that shape their lives, integrate shadow aspects of the psyche and discover their authentic path forward.
My approach combines traditional Jungian methods with contemporary therapeutic practices, creating a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore dreams symbols and deeper meanings behind their struggles. I believe symptoms often carry important messages

Most of my clients are either neurodivergent (ADHD, Autism) and/or LGBTQIA+/GSRD (Gender, Sexuality and Relationship Diverse) but I welcome all to my practice. I work with children, teenagers and adults and can run sessions in English or Polish, online or in person (in Hove) or we can mix it up. It all depends on you and your needs/wants. I am anti-TERF and anti-SWERF and welcome you to drop me an email to say hello. We can then figure out if I'm the right fit for you and how we can work together.

At times, we can all experience difficult thoughts and feelings or a sense of being “stuck”: counselling can help us work through these, develop a better relationship with ourselves and those around us, and gain clarity and insight into the issues that are causing us problems. I believe that we all possess the resources to work through our problems, but at times these can become hidden and feel out of reach. My aim is to help you identify what you need and re-connect with your own resources.

I am an accredited CBT therapist and qualified EMDR therapist. My career has been focused on the support of those navigating mental health challenges in an empathetic, non-judgemental way. I recognise that every client has different needs and strive to not only understand their current difficulties but also help to recognise what has been perpetuating the problem, reducing the chance of relapse. I have a proven ability to consistently achieve excellent outcomes with complex presentations and I also provide supervision to other CBT therapists as part of both my NHS and private practice.

I have spent my career finding ways to make therapy feel less like a formula and more like an honest conversation. That might mean talking. It might mean something more creative. Sometimes it means walking - I offer sessions outdoors for those who'd rather think alongside the river than sit opposite each other in a room.
I work with people navigating relationship difficulties, with families affected by eating disorders, and with therapists looking for supervision that draws on creativity.
I am also an author and children's book illustrator and love to work with fellow artists.

Conflicts often follow a familiar, repetitive pattern even though the content may change. In relationship therapy, we can identify the strategies that you're using in conflict, the needs you hope those strategies will meet, the ways in which those strategies might be counterproductive, and how you can do things differently.
I offer Internal Family Systems informed therapy for partners and other pairs including siblings, friends, and family members. I welcome people in non-normative relationships such as queerplatonic relationships.
