Couples Counselling in East Grinstead

Sometimes life can be uncertain, and challenging. I believe it is possible to find freedom and hope even in the face of life’s challenges. I am deeply committed to helping you move to a place of well-being, improve relationships by gaining increased self-awareness and emotional intelligence. I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and follow their ethical code ,and I am committed to non-discriminatory practices and to fostering equality in the therapeutic relationship.

Creative psychotherapy helps people think, feel and express themselves in a less guarded way. I see individuals, couples, children and families and run retreats in the south of France. I am based near Chiddingfold, Haselmere and Godalming. Through a more playful approach you are helped to feel more at ease. When facing problems it is often difficult to express ourselves in a solely verbal way as unconscious defences can inhibit real engagement with therapy and therefore can fall short of reflecting our true feelings. Psychotherapy has adapted by integrating techniques that draw on creativity.

At certain points in our biography it becomes increasingly hard to navigate our way through the stresses of everyday life - whether it be relationships, work, bereavement or trauma. At these times, anxiety and stress makes it hard to make sense or understand what is happening - hard to know what the questions are let alone the answers! A safe space where you can be really listened to and heard without judgement, will help you navigate your way through the challenges and open up new ways of looking at what is happening. A space of healing where you can be more of the real you and more in charge of the direction your life is taking.

Therapy is personal journey, unique to you and directed by what you want to achieve; I trained in Relational Transactional Analysis and use this modality to support my clients' growth in self awareness and understanding of the unconscious patterns that have been driving their behaviour. Many clients can't fully articulate what they want from therapy, only that they want things to be different, this is normal, and part of the process of therapy is working with you to discover what you want. On the way we aim to discover what blocks you from achieving your goals and support you in finding new paths to reach your goal.

You might be feeling anxious and stressed at the moment or looking for support for something that has been an issue for a long time. I will create a space for you to explore things you might not have been able to speak about before. I have a wide experience base as the foundation to my private practice. This includes Psychiatric rehabilitation, drug and alcohol treatment services, eating disorders, acute adolescent psychiatric inpatient settings and work with children and young people in the care system. I work integratively which means I draw from a range of therapeutic models to create a care plan that best fits your needs.

We are all unique individuals. I see people who suffer from anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship difficulties and trauma as well as other difficulties. I will aim to help you make sense of what is currently going on for you and then to set goals or a way forward.. I believe that clients need to experience compassion and kindness as well as often, a structured way of working with specific difficulties. If structure is less of a goal and need, I aim to provide a settling in which trust is foremost and so creating a safe space to talk about difficult emotions.

I am an experienced psychotherapist with UK qualifications in Psychology and Psychotherapy and over 20 years working in the world of relationships, sexuality and wellbeing. I help individuals, couples and other relationship groups deal with struggles, development, change and loss within their relationships and personally. Most of my clients are trying to overcome problems in relationship with themselves and/or others. I use an integrated approach to psychotherapy, leaning heavily towards Relational Life Therapy which is always underpinned by current psychological research.

Hi and a warm welcome to my profile. I have a wealth of experience working with a wide range of clients, supporting them through difficult life events and personal circumstances, including relationship issues, depression, anxiety, bereavement, sexuality, and uncertainty. I offer an inclusive, confidential, and judgement-free space in which I encourage clients to express themselves and share whatever is weighing heavily. Together we can have a greater understanding of yourself, your relationships and life.

If you are coping with high levels of anxiety or depression, if past traumatic experiences are interfering in your ability to manage the present and sleep is problematic then this can change. By understanding what is happening in your system (mind and body), using your natural resources well and having some new tools to use, you can get back into balance, to the you that is resilient, able to focus and live to your potential.

Hello and welcome to my personal page. I understand that, at times, life can be tough. We can all feel overwhelmed, anxious or depressed. Life events or circumstances may have caused you to feel lost, sad, frightened, angry or panicky. You may be having negative thoughts. Are you experiencing work-related stress, medical/health issues or having difficulty with communication or relationships? Do you think you may have dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD or possibly autism/Asperger's? Everyone's story and reason for seeking therapy is different and it can take courage to ask for help.

Embarking on a therapeutic journey can be transformative, but it's not easy. I work with adolescents and adults, creating a safe and empathetic space where trust is nurtured. I understand the unique needs of individuals navigating complex emotions, identities, and relationships. I work intuitively and collaboratively with clients to explore their goals for therapy, whether it's navigating the challenges of adolescence, managing major life transitions, grief and loss, domestic abuse, divorce, anxiety or depression.
