Counselling in Brighton

I offer a bespoke CBT, counselling and therapy service. During our sessions, we will work together, to find out how best I can help you and ensure that your needs are met. During the first few sessions, we aim to set some goals together to enable you to see your progress in therapy, we regularly monitor how you are doing, so that we can ensure that we are always on track to help you achieve your goals. As the sessions progress you will learn new ways of thinking, behaving and seeing the world in a different light. You can then use all the new skills you have learned to successfully manage your own problems.

I will be interested to know what has brought you to therapy especially why now? I will listen attentively to you about what is bothering you and what you will be needing from therapy. I will then explore with you your therapeutic goals and set up a time frame that is flexible to suit your needs.

Valuing the importance of a therapeutic relationship, I base my relationships with clients on trust and partnership. Drawing on extensive experience I aim to provide a safe and non- judgmental environment where you the client feels acknowledged, listened to and supported. As we are all unique no one type of therapy 'fits' all and I therefore integrate the therapeutic models in which I have been trained to meet your particular individual needs.

The key to out well-being and health is within us, I help clients to unleash the mind and release its full potential. Enabling clients to pinpoint and release limiting beliefs and negative patterns of self-dialogue. Work covered for individuals, couples, teenagers and children from four upwards. Counselling and Hypnotherapy are a very personal exploration, I want to make sure that you understand that you will be provided with a safe space, complete confidentiality and all issues can be examined in a non-judgmental manner.

Over the years, I have work with clients on short-term and long-term arrangements, dealing with depression, anxiety, suicidal crisis, anger, low self-esteem, panic disorders, relationship issues, trauma, questions of spirituality and meaning, such as Who am I?. From my own experience of therapy, insight some times is not enough. Therefore I might ask you to complete certain tasks designed to help you develop more effective skills. This approach often involves homework assignments. I draw on many techniques, including visualisation, dream exploration, drawing, role-play, and the most familiar method: conversation between two people.

I am an Integrative Psychotherapist working with children, adolescents, adults and families. I offer a safe, judgement-free space for you to explore your experiences and feelings.

hi. Whether you’re reading this because you’ve got a significant life event you need help to process, or you just feel something isn’t right, It can be daunting looking for a counsellor; especially if you’re not too sure how it all works. You‘ve already taken the biggest step by reaching out for support. You are the expert in your life, I won’t tell you what to do, or judge you. We will work together and I will support you to manage your emotions and process experience's, collaboratively developing ways to make life easier, empowering you to move forward. Sometimes life is just plain hard I know! But you don’t have to do it alone.

Are you feeling helpless, hopeless, frustrated with life, others or your self? Does life feel like too much at times? Do you find yourself wondering what is the point? Are you anxious? worrying about things that have yet to happen. Dealing with difficult feelings can feel overwhelming and may seem as if you have nowhere to turn or no way out. Deciding to see a counsellor can be a scary thought, thinking about discussing, with a stranger, private and sensitive subjects or even things that may feel shaming. However, making the decision to start therapy can be the first step to empowering yourself to make changes in your life.

I see individual and couple clients with a wide range of issues. They include problems within relationships, parenting issues, bereavement, stress at work, low self-confidence and more. Often a client might feel a loss of hope and meaning in their life; they might have problems regulating their moods or coming to terms with aspects of themselves and decisions they have made. By coming into therapy, they seek to build a trusting relationship in which they open up, explore, let go of difficult emotions and complex thinking and beliefs.
