Counselling in Haywards Heath

Hello and Welcome, I provide a safe, private space for you to explore whatever it is that has brought you to look into counselling. A typical session would last one hour, I am very much guided by you and what you are looking to understand and work on, making my sessions bespoke to your needs. I am trained in the Person Centred Method, having graduated in 2007 and predominately work this way. I also have training in Meditation, Neuro-linguistic programming and Psychodynamic Counselling.

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.

As an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist, I take a holistic and collaborative approach to help you improve your well-being. I believe we all have the answers inside us and, with a little support, a good therapist can help you find the solutions that are best for you. Because I believe your experience and view of the world is unique to you, I work in a way that values your individuality and allows you a safe space to explore any issue you choose to bring.

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 use an integrative approach to help clients gain a greater understanding of themselves and make lasting changes. My aim is to create a compassionate and collaborative therapeutic experience that reflects each client's individuality and distinctiveness. I am an Accredited Schema Therapist with the ISST, a trained DBT therapist and EMDR therapist as well as an executive leadership and team development coach. I draw on these specialisms as well as a range of therapeutic approaches and the current evidence base (i.e. the NICE guidance) to tailor the therapy to your presenting issues, needs and preferences.

Welcome! I applaud you for embarking on this journey! Are you looking for more joy in your life, to feel more calm and connected to others? Does life seem overwhelming at times? Does anxiety seem to take over? Do you need help finding direction and hope? Let me help you get back on track. My mission is to draw upon your inner resources and tap into your strengths. I will help you find ways to feel better and more in charge of your life. You will feel supported throughout the therapeutic process towards making positive change. My approach is collaborative, compassionate and non-judgmental.

Could counselling be the support you need at the moment to improve some of the issues you are experiencing? If you are feeling alone, overwhelmed or confused about the pandemic, parenthood, work, a bereavement or other life experiences or relationships, I can offer Face to Face, zoom or phone counselling to explore this.

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.

Welcome, I am Lee. I can offer you a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space to talk about your thoughts and feelings. I work with clients for either short or longer term counselling/therapy. I work collaboratively to identify the areas of your life that are troubling or distressing you, agreeing the focus of therapy together. Many people come to therapy simply to learn more about themselves and understand past distressing experiences. I hope therapy will bring you greater awareness, spontaneity and increased intimacy.

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.

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.

There are lots of reasons why you may be looking for therapy. It could be a specific issue you want to work through or it might be a build up of different things. It could simply be that you feel different, misunderstood and alone. I offer a safe, confidential space to explore whatever is going on for you. and will work with you to better understand it, alleviate distress and move forward.
