Thanks for stopping at my profile. I'm an experienced and dedicated psychodynamic therapist and I work primarily with adults in my private practice in Hove.

COVID 19 is putting huge strain on all of us and we are finding ways to cope. However, if you feel old issues and feelings are cropping up for you, it may be time to root out the problem so the present situation becomes more bearable. EMDR can help do that. In an initial online session we can discuss your problems and find out what will be most helpful for you. Past overwhelming experiences in your life ( e.g. bereavement, sexual
assault
, bullying, medical or health experiences, childhood abuse or neglect, transport accidents) may be intruding in a way that feels unmanageable. If so, then a trauma-focused therapy will be vital to

Therapy With Kay
Psychotherapist, MBACP

If nothing changes, how will you feel a year from now? You may have an idea of where you want to go, or you might just know you want things to be different, and are unsure how. I can help you work out the direction you want to go, and how to start heading there. What could this mean to you? Less stress or low moods, improved relationships with yourself and others, perhaps more self-esteem and confidence, better sleep and a healthier mindset or maybe it’s about putting the past behind you once and for all.
