AXA PPP Counselling in Brighton
Life can be really hard sometimes, difficult things happen or people struggle emotionally for a variety of reasons. Lots of people need support at some time in their lives for themselves or people they care for. I genuinely believe that most people who are struggling want to improve their situation and need support to enable them to be and feel the best they can. However, just because you did not cause all your problems does not mean you do not have to work to try to make things better. That is where I can help, providing support, therapy and specialist assessment for young people and adults.

No one needs to suffer alone, and in fact, I like to think that no one needs to suffer at all. I have dedicated most of my adult life, helping people with their mental health, as a nurse, a social worker and as a psychologist. I have over 40 years experience in the Mental Health field, 16 of which have been with the NHS as a Senior Psychologist. I help all age groups using on-line therapy. My clients have varied needs and I offer an individual plan of treatment for each person depending upon their specific needs and goals. I also have a special interest in working with LGBTQ+ clients

To begin counselling can be a life-changing decision. You may want to address thoughts and feelings or specific challenges that can be hard to speak to others about, or perhaps made a decision to address the impact of past trauma, loss or shame. By sharing your story and emotional journey within the therapeutic space, it can be heard in a new way, as though for the first time. In this way, different narratives can be explored, allowing you to take greater ownership of your life and your future.

I work with adults who are outwardly functioning but feel stuck, disconnected, or caught in repeating patterns, often in relationships, intimacy, or their sense of self. My approach is psychoanalytic and psychodynamic, focusing on understanding difficulties at the root rather than offering quick fixes. I work in a client-led, non-pathologising and inclusive way and have extensive experience with LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent clients. I also work comfortably with questions around sexuality and intimacy, including areas people may feel anxious or ashamed about. Sessions in Hove and online.

I work with people who want to understand themselves more deeply, not only to reduce anxiety or low mood, but to make sense of who they are, their relationships, and how they want to live.
Often, this includes people who are already quite reflective, but find that thinking alone hasn’t led to the clarity or change they’re looking for. There may be a sense of feeling stuck, unsettled, or unsure of direction, even when things appear to be functioning on the surface.

My ideal clients are executives, senior professionals and high achievers who have become so focused on performing well for others that they've lost touch with what they need for themselves. They are often intelligent, self-aware and highly capable — yet find themselves stuck, depleted or quietly anxious in ways they can't easily explain to the people around them.
They may be managing teams, navigating high-stakes decisions, or sustaining a demanding lifestyle — while privately wondering how long they can keep going at this pace. The drive that once made them effective has quietly eroded the things that sustain them: relationships, i

Psychological support is about investing in you. Life can be chaotic, intense, confusing, and we can be left feeling disconnected from ourselves, our lives, and the people around us. Sometimes we just need some space to stop and think. Psychological support is also about developing a deeper understanding of yourself - who you are, what you need, what matters to you. For others, it's about building on existing skills - how to get more out of relationships, improving communication, being more assertive, boosting your sleep and performance, learning to be the best version of yourself.

As a highly experienced psychoanalytic/psychodynamic Child & Adolescent Psychotherapist I work with sensitivity, adapting to need and nurturing trust to support exploration of personal experience, future goals and aspirations. Bringing appropriately paced awareness to underlying thoughts and feelings can support understanding and integration of previously unrecognised aspects of self, and over time the growth of authenticity, emotional wellbeing, and more fulfilling ways of living and relating. I work with ages from 5-25. I provide supervision to other psychotherapists and counsellors.
