Female Counselling in Brighton

Could you be telling a different story about your life? Stories are powerful and help us make sense of our lives. They can also keep us stuck. I help people from all walks of life, explore the stories they are telling about themselves and the world. I am especially interested in working with: those working in business, those who went to boarding school, people who are childless not by choice, and women transitioning through peri menopause / menopause. I work both in person in Brighton and online across the UK.

It's not always an easy decision to come for therapy and you may decide to come to seek additional support for something that has been worrying you for a while or due to a current upset such as a relationship breakdown or bereavement. I am a professionally qualified therapist with over 15 years experience. The therapeutic relationship allows you the time and space to explore things that are causing you distress and/or anxiety. I can help you to explore your past and how it may help you to understand your current situation. I give you the opportunity to explore the way you are feeling and gain a more empowered sense of self.

Deciding to seek therapy can seem like a daunting process. Not only are you bravely taking steps to face the challenges in your life, you are choosing to share your unique story, perhaps for the first time, with a complete stranger. You may be experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, life transitions, or another form of distress in the complex spectrum of human suffering, or maybe you want to discover more of who you are. Whilst not aiming to solve your problems, I hope to help you develop greater self-awareness, understanding and acceptance, developing resilience, uncovering new meaning and potential for change.

You may be a woman who is struggling with depression, relationship problems, anxiety, low self-esteem, or simply a sense of emptiness. You may feel trapped in, or emerging from, an abusive relationship. You may have experienced a loss recently- death of a loved one, divorce, loss of a job, even ageing poses its own special challenges. I specialise in working with women in particular, including LGBGT clients, by telephone, video link, and online. I am able to be flexible in the way I work, and combine different methods to suit my clients. Working by telephone or online can be very helpful to clients who are unable to travel.

I help women overcome trauma, domestic abuse and sexual abuse, so that they can fall in love with themselves and with their ideal partner, reclaim their confidence, and never have to endure harmful relationships ever again. Are you struggling with flashbacks or nightmares, feeling embarrassed about someone mistreating you or having moments when you suddenly feel numb, angry or tearful out of nowhere? If yes, then therapy will help you stabilise your mood, feel safe again and rediscover pleasure in daily life. Even if you have had therapy before, specialist support will get you from where you are to where you want to be.

I have worked extensively in mental health am experienced in supporting people through all degrees of distress, including intense and overwhelming mental and emotional difficulties, bereavement and trauma. I have a particular interest in working with issues of difference, diversity and social injustice within a therapeutic setting. I also care deeply for the environment have experience helping people who are struggling to process the climate/ biodiversity crisis and/ or who are suffering from trauma or burn-out linked with their environmental activism. I currently support young people with mental health problems at University.

Establishing a safe therapeutic relationship is one of the most important parts of effective psychological therapy. I am passionate in supporting people by creating a safe and non-judgmental space where we can explore difficult topics in a comfortable way. I use an integrative approach drawing ideas from different psychological therapy models so that I can adapt the therapeutic space to the individual needs of my clients. I am a qualified Senior Clinical Psychologist and have experience working across various settings within the NHS and private practice. I am passionate in working with people who identify as LGBTQ+.

If you are dealing with Addictions, symptoms of Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, problems in your relationships, or maybe you just feel a bit sad, directionless, unmotivated, Psychotherapy is for you. In therapy you are held in a safe and confidential space in which you are gently facilitated to explore your feelings, make sense of your current difficulties and find clarity around dynamics in relationships with other people. Talking with a qualified and experienced Psychotherapist could really support you in making the changes and shifts that you need to overcome fears, anxiety, stuckness and all the hurdles that sometimes hurt our soul

For me and my practice, it is really important to understand and acknowledge the complexity of every individuals experience. I endeavour to do this by holding an open mind and creating a safe boundaried space in which we can both get to know you better. I encorporate a range of theories and skills in order to best facilitate your individual process and needs. Within my practice I work with a range of issues such as anxiety & depression, sexual abuse, trauma, sexuality exploration, gender, anger, loss, illness and body image. I am currently working online.

I am committed to collaborating with you to find the resilient, hopeful part of yourself that becomes expert in managing your challenges and is motivated by the smallest signs of progress towards your preferred future.

Speaking with someone for the first time about personal issues or trauma can feel really daunting. It is important to feel safe and not judged when talking about difficult things, and my aim is for us to develop a relationship where you can explore whatever it is that you need to.
