I offer therapy online using Zoom, or phone, whichever you prefer.
We all need help at different times in our lives for a variety of reasons. Sometimes talking to our loved ones or friends is either not possible or feels uncomfortable. Working with me would mean being able to speak freely in a safe environment. My work is based on developing a therapeutic relationship with my clients. Using empathy and developing rapport with you enables you to work through your issue at your own pace, whatever the problem, whether it is a traumatic event from the past or a more recent issue, or one that you have been living with all your life. With me, you will be in a safe, non-judgemental, empathic space.

I offer in-person session in central Brighton or online work across the globe.
We all go through times when some additional support could be useful. Whether a specific issue has led you here today, or a wish to explore difficulties in your early life and their impacting on you today, I might be the right person to help. I have extensive experience of working in NHS and charity settings as well as abroad. Aside from my private practice I currently work as Principal Psychologist / Clinical Lead in an NHS service. I have worked with a wide range of difficulties and have most experience in working with complex trauma, interpersonal difficulties, mood management, and autism spectrum conditions.

Navigating challenging family dynamics or life transitions can be confusing and distressing, impacting your sense of self and well-being. Whether grappling with strained relationships, questioning your gender identity or sexuality or undergoing significant life changes like parenthood, family estrangement, or menopause, these experiences can leave you feeling lost and unsure of how to move forward. Seeking support during these times can offer clarity, validation, and guidance to help you navigate and thrive amidst uncertainty. Perhaps it’s time we should talk?

I work online via Zoom or by telephone.
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. There is not an exhaustive list of the reasons for coming to counselling initially but one thing is sure and that is it begins with building trust and beginning to speak openly. Our sessions will be collaborative: I will facilitate, but you will lead the way. Even if you can't pin point why things feel difficult, you're not alone.

We all have a finite amount of emotional energy. How are you using yours? Perhaps you are spending too much precious time worrying about things that might never happen. Or maybe you are trying to fix a situation that has no solution. Often, all we want is to feel less frazzled, to be content in our decision-making and to have time and energy for ourselves and the people who matter the most to us.

I am here to listen and to support you in exploring things that are creating challenges or distress in your life. Whether you’re struggling in a relationship, feeling worried, anxious, depressed, or experiencing loss I can help. Talking to a counsellor can help to stop thoughts circling around and around to alleviate feelings of distress and support you in working towards changes you want in your life by connecting or reconnecting with your own needs and feelings. Talking to someone who isn’t connected to what’s going on means you can explore thoughts and feelings without worrying about other people’s feelings or feeling judged.

Individual sessions are weekly - online or in person.
Psychotherapy creates space to explore who you are and what is getting in the way of you fulfilling your potential. Anxiety, low mood, mood swings, ADHD, unwelcome trauma symptoms are all ways that the mind is telling us that we need to pay attention to something that we have not been able to face. We will work together to listen with compassion to your deeper self. For some people, group therapy can alleviate isolation and equip you to find and build new relationships that fit you better. It helps build confidence to seek out and join new groups where you can be more yourself. I call this 'finding your tribe'.

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.
