I’ve practiced as an accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist since 2009 and mental health nurse for the past 20 years for the NHS and private sector. Both professions combined enable me to work with mild to severe mental health conditions. I have a special interest working with individuals from Black and Minority Ethnic communities and mixed heritage. I can also provide clinical supervision for newly qualified CBT therapists. I am currently working towards my BABCP Supervision Accreditation. My approach is curious and collaborative. I will endeavour to tailor the course of treatment to meet the individual’s needs.

I'm Jack, a BACP registered psychotherapeutic counsellor. I take a humanistic approach which places us alongside eachother. I will be led by you to create a safe and supportive space. We can generally focus on understanding your unique perspective and experiences. I also like to consider how we can accept responsibilities and explore your choices (or lack of choice). We can decide together what we’re working on; but typically we may touch on finding your strength, self-development, and ways you can grow and feel better about yourself and your situation.

Firstly, welcome to my profile. The start of our counselling relationship together begins here. Here you can read about me, as your future counsellor. Are you feeling you would like to make some changes in your life ? I can offer you a place to take some time-out to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviour to unpick your issues. Counselling allows you to discuss your issue/s and any difficult feelings and emotions you may encounter in a safe, confidential environment. Simply, it is reflecting on who you are & want to be, exploring your thoughts, feelings & difficulties in more depth, whilst I support you achieving your goals

I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist who has been studying and working in the field for the past 22 years and I now run a private practice in Mid Sussex. After completing a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at Newcastle University in 2006, I have more than 14 years’ experience working within the NHS. I have a specific interest and expertise in working with clients who have been diagnosed with a progressive neurological condition such as Dementia, Multiple Sclerosis or Parkinson's Disease. Working in this way necessarily involves supporting people who are caring for loved one who is experiencing one of these conditions.

It is important that you always feel in control of your process and that it is meaningful and beneficial to you. This includes consideration and respect for your culture, religion, sexual and self-identity. An essential element of this will be the relationship you are able to build with your therapist. My therapeutic approach is collaborative and aims to empower you with the self-awareness, knowledge and skills to make the decisions and changes that are important and useful to you. I will offer a non-judgmental and supportive space for you to explore your past, present and plan your future.

Many clients find their way to me following difficulty with symptoms associated with depression, low self-esteem and/or with features of anxiety (in its varying clinical forms.) They frequently report reaching a point where day to day life feels a struggle; offers little sense of purpose/direction with limited experiences of satisfaction or joy. By developing a shared understanding of their problem, including the elements that have served to maintain the clients problem until now - we can be better informed as to what changes are needed (cognitively & behaviorally) to improve symptoms and renew their sense of coping.

Welcome to Clockhouse Counselling. My name is Sandra and my practice is eclectic, calm and welcoming. I work from two locations, the first being in the Sussex countryside on the edge of a re-wilding estate, surrounded by nature. This is an important part of how I work, as I believe our connection to such is vital to our mental health, in a world that has become detached and fast paced. The second location is at The Kingswood Practice in central Horsham, close to train and bus stations, with car parks also nearby. Weekday sessions are £50 & Saturday sessions are £60. Please contact me for single session rates.

If you are someone who is experiencing anxiety which is starting to negatively impact on your life or has done for many years then please do get in touch. It might be struggling to leave the house, having intrusive, unwanted thoughts or images, having to engage in behaviours such as frequent checking, washing or repeating. Often people can feel embarrassed talking about their anxieties or the unwanted behaviours they feel urged to undertake. I hope my years of experience using evidence based approaches with anxiety should help you feel able to discuss and face these anxieties head on, allowing you to lead a healthier, happier life.

I work within a Jungian framework, where symptoms are seen as communications from the psyche that need to be honoured, in order to be understood and worked through. I endeavour to meet the patient where they are, and through the interpersonal relationship that emerges between us, with its conscious and unconscious aspects, narratives and meaning can emerge safely and creatively, whether through speech, silence, dreams or bodily gesture. Although my main focus is psychodynamic, I have 20 years experience as a practicing psychiatrist, and I am also practice Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy.

Life's ebbs and flows can bring up a mixture of emotions, experiences and sensations. Sometimes we know what is going on and our coping strategies work well. And sometimes we feel stuck, anxious or overwhelmed with no clear path in front of us. I offer a warm and respectful space where we can work together to explore where you find yourself in life right now, identify the patterns that you might want to shift, bring some attention and care to the issues that are important to you, and identify the goals you'd like to reach at the pace that feels right for you.

Life gives us challenges at times no matter who we are. We are better equipped to deal with these challenges when we have the right support in place. This is where counselling can play a big part in supporting you to deal with whatever challenges you might be facing. Studies have shown that traumatic childhood events can present in our lives when we reach adulthood leaving us in a state of confusion. No matter what your challenges are or where they have come from counselling is there to help you deal with them in a safe and neutral place. I can offer online counselling, face to face, and a walk and talk service.

Overwhelmed by your emotions or not feeling anything at all? Having outbursts or panic attacks? Withdrawing? Questioning your ability to cope & terrified of not coping. Wondering if you are going mad. Not liking who you are. Feeling stuck or trapped. Want to offload but fear burdening friends and family and others not quite getting what you need at this time. You might not even know what you need. Do you want to pause, take off the heavy load you are carrying as it's making life harder than it needs to be. Want to find you and your spark again and love the person you are & the life you have.

Our therapeutic relationship will be honest, and most importantly, equal.

Instead, I will walk alongside you, offering empathy, insight and unconditional positive regard.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counsellors are all licensed mental health professionals. In many countries, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counsellor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counsellors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counsellor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counselling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
