I have been working empathetically with clients for over 20 years as an Integrative Therapist, combining a variety of techniques and experience to support each individuals needs in a holistic person-centred way. The beauty of working this way is that we look at the whole experience, understanding the root of the problem will be influenced by psychology, emotions, the physical body along with their history, culture and family experiences. Often when we find ourselves struggling in life, we are repeating old unhealthy learnings which are buried deeply in the unconscious and play out when we find ourselves challenged or triggered.

To hold onto issues whether from childhood or a few years ago can keep us in a place that is painful and confusing and can seem impossible to move on from. This can lead to mental health problems such as anxiety or depression or some form of addiction that keeps you stuck. By starting to talk through these issues with a counsellor it can lead to a freedom and understanding about yourself and then you are able to move on with your life.

I am an LGBTQ+ affirmative person-centred counsellor based in Hastings. In a society where we are championed for being happy, strong and in control, it can seem daunting and even impossible at times to talk about how we truly feel in fear of becoming a burden or being judged. I offer a safe, accepting and compassionate space for you to be completely yourself, where you can experience your emotions without judgement. Together, we can explore what it is that has brought you to counselling at your own pace.

'I just want to be free from my anxiety,''I will never be good enough,''They're better than me.' Maybe it's crippling anxiety where you're fearful of every situation, whether it's the now or related to a past trauma. Maybe you lack confidence in body & self, disliking yourself and feeling like you don't know who you are which causes you to be afraid to be you. Perhaps it's attachment patterns in relationships, fear of trusting due to being let down & abandoned, the terror of ending up hurt and alone. Well, I can help. After all, Tom, Dick or Harry telling us that 'It'll be okay' is well meaning but does it help?

Hi, I am an experienced psychotherapist who can support you to explore whatever you wish to bring and then encourage you to find your own solutions. Psychotherapy allows us to explore our life and experiences and reach a deeper understanding of ourselves. This occurs in an atmosphere of safety and respect and offers a space in which you are really listened to and the whole of you is welcomed. People come to therapy for different reasons, but at the root of most of these is the experience of suffering. Therapy offers us the opportunity to enquire into the nature of our suffering and discover our innate capacity for healing.
