Understanding ourselves, the decisions and choices we make and our relationships with others can sometimes be baffling. You may find yourself acting or behaving in ways that you struggle to align with your personal principles, wishes or desires. At times, your experience may suggest that your way of being doesn't blend with the world around you and you might find yourself meeting resistance from people or institutions. Therapy gives us the chance to explore these challenges together. We can look at your relationships with others and the meaning you make of them, helping to develop your insight, self-awareness and self-acceptance.

Most of us know how talking problems through can help to put things into perspective. But however well intended your friends and family may be, it it isn't always easy to talk about difficult feelings with people that you know and love.

Just saying out loud what's going on can be a relief. It can also help you to work out what's really bothering you and help you to explore ways to do something about it.

I am a qualified and registered counsellor working in Saltdean in East Sussex. The type of counselling I subscribe to is called ‘humanistic’. Core to this approach is the belief that we each have within ourselves the self-knowledge and ability to identify our own problems and solutions. Sometimes, this can take a little time and some unpeeling of layers before we get to the core of who we really are and where we need to be.

Working with individuals and couples online, I am an LGBTQ+ affirmative, trauma-informed psychodynamic therapist. Therapy involves a joint inquiry into the underlying beliefs and automatic ways of being and seeing that we carry. Regular sessions provide a reflective, confidential space for self-exploration and support, in which to look together at any areas of concern to you. As we begin to make sense of troubling, confusing or conflicting feelings and experiences, it can become possible to discover greater ease, choice and fulfillment in the present. My fees for individuals are £70-90 per session, and £120-150 for couples.

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.

As a CBT therapist and midwife I really understand the barriers you might feel asking for help during the perinatal period (pregnancy, birth or postnatally). Many people struggle to talk about their anxiety, depression or doubts and worries about being a parent. You might feel judged or that you have failed in some way and there can be a real sense of pressure to feel positive throughout, making it sometimes feel really hard to admit you are struggling, so I understand just how significant asking for help is. Reaching out is positive and is the first step towards recovery - of your sense of self, your self worth and your wellbeing.

You may be dealing with a life event or would like some help enhancing your emotional health.

Counselling can be an exciting and challenging healing journey which we can take together with sensitivity and respect.

I am a qualified counsellor and therapist with experience in education and charitable settings. My aim is to help you to explore whatever difficulties, challenges or triumphs you are experiencing.

It may be that patterns of behaviour that kept you safe in the past are now holding you back from living a more fulfilling life, by identifying these patterns and being curious about the protective role they played we can begin to loosen their grip here in the present.

We all find ourselves experiencing difficulties throughout our lives; you may be struggling with a sudden change in your life, or perhaps there are difficulties you have been facing for a long time.

This space is somewhere for you to feel safe to be yourself, where you will be treated with respect and openness.
