I offer sessions in person at my home in Kemptown Brighton, UK; or online via Zoom.
I have worked in private practice as a psychotherapist for over thirty years, and as a Jungian psychoanalyst since 2012. In that time I have worked with a broad spectrum of people from many cultural backgrounds presenting a vast array of issues. Everyone is different. All that is required of you is to be willing to look into yourself, be open to your feelings, and invite your dreams, because they can help us. Ultimately I can't make the changes for you, you must want to change for yourself.

All counselling sessions over Zoom for clients everywhere, from comfort of your own home.
Love, sex and personal relationships are where we manage our hopes, fears and vulnerabilities. When our connection with ourselves and others is good it can feel transformative, but when it isn’t it can be extremely distressing. I offer an integrative approach to relationship and psychosexual therapy to work with you, whether single or in a couple. I work with monogamous as well as open/polyamorous relationships. Troubled relationships, arguing, erection issues, loss of desire, anxiety, painful sex, vaginismus, premature ejaculation, or shame about porn use, kinks. This can all change.

I offer in-person and walking therapy in Brighton & Hove, and online across the UK, in English or Italian.
Free consultation available. My approach blends talking therapy with creative, somatic, and experiential techniques, offering theory-informed ways to understand yourself on a deeper level. You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck, noticing that talking alone hasn’t been enough. Perhaps your body holds pain or fatigue, or you feel out of sync with yourself and others. I offer a space where you can slow down and explore what’s happening beneath the surface — not to “fix” yourself, but to develop awareness and a sense of choice, honouring mind, body, emotions, and nervous system.

Do you feel like everything is just too overwhelming? I know how scary it can be to reach out and ask for help, especially when life is already a struggle. I believe that nobody should have to face their difficulties alone. Which is why I commit to providing you with a warm, accepting and safe space where we can explore your challenges together. I am passionate about making counselling as easy as possible to access. Providing remote sessions that you can attend from any safe and private space. My lived experience of chronic illness and neurodivergence mean I understand first hand some of the barriers faced in accessing support.

FAQ - About Teletherapy
Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?
One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialised therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.

Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?
Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.

Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?
The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
