I offer a warm, compassionate and safe space for us to explore the areas of your life where you may feel overwhelmed, stuck or want to make changes.

I am an AXA registered Gestalt & somatic psychotherapist and supervisor, working from a clinic in Forest Row, online by Zoom and outdoors in nature. I work with clients around all sorts of issues including (but not limited to): self-esteem, empowerment, anxiety, emotional regulation, inner child healing, loss & bereavement, relationships, boundaries, stress & burn-out, anger management, sexuality, high sensitivity, creativity & spirituality. My approach is compassionate and practical, and focussed on helping you live more happily and effectively.

Hello! I am an experienced and energetic practitioner I experience many clients saying that they don’t believe that their problems are bad enough, that there must be others in need who are suffering more, or that it is indulgent to go for counselling. If you are finding it hard to cope with life, for whatever reason, remember that you deserve to be heard and that your experiences, memories and feelings are real for you. I walk alongside you as you explore your unique life experiences and bring them for healing. I am a qualified counsellor and coach. UKCP trainee psychotherapist currently working towards accreditation.

Are you finding relationships challenging?Have you heard of Body-Psychotherapy, a unique form of therapy that gives clients results in a short period of time? The key strength of this kind of therapy is that it bypasses the 'story' of traditional 'Talking therapies' and works somatically by discharging blocked energy (consciousness) that client hold in the body! I am particularly interested in working with people who have already engaged with a form of therapy, yet feel there is still something missing: I will help you find your authentic self!

I am a BACP registered psychotherapist and coach. I provide a non-judgemental, open and safe space for you to talk. My approach is warm, empathetic and integrative, utilising several different ways of working relative to each client. I am able to offer you a bespoke therapeutic relationship, having worked with a diverse range of client issues through both the NHS and private practice. After spending several months studying yoga in Northern India, I developed a keen interest in body work and somatic therapy, working with you to understand how unresolved emotions, stresses and traumas may have been internalised.

I am an analytic Child & Adolescent Psychotherapist with more than 20 years experience in the NHS, both in-patient and CAMHS settings, and in independent practice.

Hello and Welcome, Life has indeed become complex. Many of us are now struggling with our mental health in ways that are no longer manageable. Our past and present hurts, our unprocessed feelings have risen to the surface. We find ourselves thinking, feeling and acting in ways that do not reflect who we want to be. Some of us have Grief, Trauma or Addiction that we just can’t seem to work through. As a Senior Accredited Psychotherapist with a Master Degree and EMDR qualified, I've seen thousands come through my door, with various presenting issues and undergo genuine transformation, healing and leave with hope for the future.

I work as a Complex Trauma/Childhood Abuse & Relationship Therapist, supporting individuals/couples who are "stuck" and experience menopause; high anxiety; anger; menopause, stress and distress around a life events, especially if you have a learning disability or autism. Therapy with me is about managing and reducing the impact. If it is not dealt with sooner, it can trigger hidden deeper issues related to past events related to unspeakable trauma, childhood abuse or dissociation (a sense of detachment from your former self), or even suicidal thoughts, identity issues "Who am I?" This can involve extreme feelings of shame and guilt.

I am an integrative therapist. This means that I have received training in a number of therapeutic approaches and can draw upon their various core philosophies and techniques. These approaches include: humanistic/person-centered, Ericksonian hypno-psychotherapy, depth-oriented brief therapy, eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR), self-relations psychotherapy, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), and Internal Family Systems Therapy. So, whatever issue you may be facing, I can tailor my approach to best meet your individual needs.

Is it difficult for yourself to connect to your emotions and feelings? Sometimes it is complicated to find a link to enable us express freely. Unintentionally, we can create a habit in which we suppress, run away, deny or manipulate our emotions. It is normal to try to push away feelings of discomfort like stress, fear or pain; but there are tools you can learn to help you cope with these emotions in a healthy way. Instead of denying, distracting yourself, manipulating or disconnecting, you can accept, observe, acknowledge and connect deeply with your feelings.

When difficult thoughts and emotions are suppressed, they often come out in other ways, either mentally or physically, or both. It is well known that there can be such a huge sense of relief when sharing something extremely distressing that may well have been bottled up inside for days, months, or even years. Counselling and psychotherapy provide an opportunity to talk in private about those difficult thoughts or feelings you might be having, in a way that might be difficult to do so with friends or family.

Life can be a struggle challenging and confusing. Sometimes it can be difficult to talk openly to the people in your life. As an experienced psychotherapist I provide a safe, confidential space to explore whatever is on your mind. I can support you in finding your way through the difficulties you’re experiencing, or have experienced in the past, in a way that feels right for you, and at a pace that feels comfortable. We can work together to make sense of what you’re thinking, feeling and going through, allowing you to develop a sense of healing, establish goals and grow towards them, and gain a greater understanding of yourself.
