Child Counselling in Brighton

I am a HCPC ( Health and Care Professions Council) and BAAT (British Association of Art Therapists) registered Art Psychotherapist who specialises in working with children and young people.
My approach is psychodynamic and I aim to build a trusting therapeutic relationship with the children that I work with so that they are able to express themselves freely. The sessions are child-led so that the children can work on the issues that are important to them. I offer regular reviews with parents and care givers.

I imagine that if you are reading this page you are dealing with some difficult issues. You may be feeling life is just too much to manage, or perhaps something from your past may be impacting on how you are feeling today. Taking the first step in acknowledging you might benefit from obtaining support from someone outside your family or friends, takes courage. Counselling can be challenging, but rewarding, as we explore together how you are feeling right now and how you would like to feel in the future. My aim is to create a safe environment where you can come and talk confidentially, without judgement, about whatever is troubling

My experience spans working with young people and adults in schools, children's services, community settings and charities.
Art therapy is a powerful and reflective process that encourages creativity and exploration of our inner worlds. The freedom of art-making bypasses the limitations of verbal language, allowing for a healing and instinctual experience. Through art, communication is enriched, and emotions find a new avenue of expression. Art therapy invites you to experiment without the need for prior artistic expertise. We can fluidly move between art therapy and talking therapy, depending on what feels right in the moment. There is no pressure to use art materials.

Hello, I'm an Art Psychotherapist. Whatever brings someone to therapy, whatever their gender, age, neurodivergence, physical ability, race or social background, I am here to hold a supportive space where they can ask their own verbal and sensory questions and have agency over their own answers. Experiences, challenges and changes when it comes to identity, a loss, physical illness, trauma, relationships or insecure attachments, can sometimes become overwhelming and hard to hold alone. A person may come to therapy with a sense of curiosity, about their journey through life, and how it is affecting their relationship with the present.

I have been a counsellor since 2012, both in private practise and working for the YPC, Brighton, AGE UK and the YMCA/Wellbeing Service. As a humanistic/intergative therapist, I believe that you are the expert on yourself and I aim to provide the conditions which allow you to explore your motivations and themes, and make meaning from your own experience. I offer an empathic, non judgemental and respectful space. By building a relationship based on acceptance it becomes possible to look at, recognise and understand where problems in your life may have arisen. Counselling can be for anyone who feels lost, sad, lonely, confused.

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.
