Dissociative Disorders (DID) Counselling in Bognor Regis

Hello and welcome. I'm a fully qualified Psychotherapeutic counsellor, and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I offer individual, couples counselling, I'm also qualified to work with children (8 years and up). More recently I have included Ecotherapy to my services, sometimes referred to as walk and talk therapy. These sessions are outdoor therapy sessions in various scenic locations. My practice is located in Southbourne, Emsworth.

It's not always easy to reach out and ask for support. We often feel that we can manage on our own or don't want to bother anyone with our thoughts and feelings. It can be hard to find a balance between work, relationships, family & other commitments to prioritise yourself. No matter what brings you to therapy the most important part is the relationship we will share. I aim to ensure you feel heard & give you a space to work through anything you want to bring to help you have a greater insight & self-awareness and I will walk alongside you on this journey. Counselling isn't a one size fits all package it's as individual as you are.

I have a specialist interest in working with people who have suffered or are suffering abuse. Abuse can happen to anyone, any gender any age any type such as physical, emotional, sexual and even financial. I will create a safe environment where it is warm and non judgemental. I will be open and genuine so we are able to work towards growth, change and your full potential. We can do this by talking, or creatively by art or a sand tray, which can bridge what is going on in the unconscious to the conscious to then become aware of what may be holding us back.

My job is to help you look after your emotional and mental wellbeing in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment. We will work together to understand and clarify your concerns, explore your difficulties and identify meaningful and lasting changes you would like to make in order to improve your life. My job will not stop there as I will empower you to achieve your goals, find your own solutions to your problems, develop your own strengths and skills that you can use when dealing with life challenges.

I am a Humanistic counsellor and psychotherapist working with adults and young people in the Chichester area offering long and short term therapy. I work face to face in my therapy room, offer walk & talk sessions and online session. You may be struggling with your thoughts, your feelings, your behaviours, and your life situation at the moment. Not knowing how to overcome these difficulties can feel overwhelming. I can help you explore this in order to empower you, to make the necessary changes to live a more fulfilling life.

Life can throw many challenges at us, and whilst we may often cope well, we sometimes need a little support from someone unrelated to our lives. This is where effective counselling, tailored to the individual or couple, has its place. I am experienced via the NHS, charities and private practice in helping individual and couple clients explore a wide range of personal and relationship issues. I specialise in working with trauma, sex offending issues, sex and pornography addictions and other paraphilias. I offer a totally non-judgmental, confidential space to safely explore your current difficulties.

Registered counselling psychologist with over 10 years experience of working with people with a range of difficulties from mild to severe and enduring. As a counselling psychologist I draw upon a variety of evidence based models in order to support you in the most effective way. Trained in humanistic, psychodynamic, CBT , mindfulness and EMDR. This means I can deliver treatment that is specifically designed for your needs. Experienced across a variety of settings (young people’s services, charities such as Mind, NHS), I currently work in the NHS and run a private practice for adults and young people.

I've been where you are now, looking for a therapist and not sure who to choose! Deciding to have therapy and choosing who to embark on the journey with can be a daunting prospect. But, you’ve taking the first step to sharing your difficulties and that’s a great start. Having had my own therapy I know how important it is to find the right therapist. I offer a safe, welcoming space for you to share what is happening for you. I won’t judge or tell you to do things. I will support you with the choices you make. I offer appointments from 8am to 8pm and may be available at short notice.

I have 30 years experience in trauma, loss, bereavement and chronic illness. I have my own counselling practice, I am also a Clinical Supervisor and lead an Adult Counselling Service for a large charity (trauma / abuse sector). I believe that every human being is unique, and deserves compassion and non-judgement at all times. I use an integrated approach, which means that I assess your individual needs and work with the right therapy for you. I offer short or long term therapy in a safe, caring environment. I am fully insured, hold a current DBS (Police Check), as well as being a registered member of BACP and accredited NCS member.
