Counselling in Horsham

One of the most difficult parts of the therapeutic process is taking that first step – deciding to talk to someone. The counselling that I offer provides a safe, confidential space for clients to explore difficult issues, obstacles, choices, and aspirations. I work in a psychosynthetic context that within each individual there exists both a personality (patterns of behaviour) as well as a spiritual aspect (our innate potential) encompassing work at the levels of mind and thinking, body and feeling, spirit and purpose. In our personal and professional lives each of us is a Self that is both divine and human.

Does the world and your place within it feel unsettled and unknown right now? Are you full of anxiety and lacking direction? Are your relationships feeling challenging leaving you wondering what is wrong with you? I am an experienced and qualified Psychotherapeutic counsellor, able to support you in the navigation of working through the answers. Together we can explore and find the path through understanding yourself and where you may be feeling stuck. I work primarily with relationship difficulties (individual counselling), anxiety, and depression. Take a look at my website for more details.

I offer a free initial 30-minute consultation to allow you to see how we can work together. Your story matters to me. As a qualified counsellor and a caring human being, I want to help you cope with whatever you are facing at the moment. The issues that people come to me for are anxiety, panic attacks, depression, stress, relationship issues, family problems, phobias, addictions, bereavement and loneliness. Together we can work to find a way forward.

If you are looking for a counsellor it may be that you have reached a point of change. I am trained as an integrative counsellor, offer you warmth and regard and a safe place to express your feelings and be heard.

If you're finding yourself struggling with overwhelming thoughts I provide a non- judgemental space to explore these with you as the first step towards change. We can explore any mental health challenges you may be experiencing such as personal feelings, communication skills, physical health, major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, how to manage stress, substance abuse, health conditions, physical illness, traumatic events, relationship struggles, the death of a loved one, daily stressors, or something else entirely that all human beings can deal with in life

I am a professionally qualified counsellor. I see clients face to face and also offer phone and online video sessions. I have been seeing clients through a number of organisations for several years. I am experienced in working with a wide range of issues, personalities and ages and see clients from 16 years and up. I provide couples counselling; working with both of you to help resolve relationship difficulties. I am also a qualified counselling supervisor, I offer counselling supervision one-to-one and with small groups to both qualified and trainee counsellors.

It takes courage to start therapy. Often, we are at our most vulnerable at these times. I believe the most important thing to establish first is trust. I am not here to tell you what’s ‘wrong with you’ or what you ‘have done wrong’ in the past. My aim is to meet you where you are and invite you on a journey for us to explore together, in collaboration, what is upsetting you and holding you back.

The focus will depend on client goals and needs, and can be past, present or future orientated. Some clients need an explorative approach, others wish to identify and build on strengths. I offer longer term work for deep exploration and self understanding, medium or short term structured work for current life stresses or crises. Clients may feel isolated with little or no support, or need a safe and private place to express difficult feelings, without feeling judged. Naming and verbalising thoughts and feelings can help to soothe anxieties. Reflecting on possible solutions or desired futures together can bring hope and direction.

Hello and welcome to my page. I am a professionally qualified therapist, clinical supervisor and mindfulness practitioner, and have over 20 years’ experience. I am a warm, compassionate and experienced counsellor and therapist, who can create a safe and trusting space for you to talk in confidence about issues or problems that might be affecting you. Counselling can help with many difficult life problems - from coping with relationship issues or bereavement, to dealing with depression and/or anxiety. You may be trying to manage harmful emotional behaviours, struggling with a lack of confidence, or maybe just feeling stuck.

Is life feeling overwhelming? Are you finding relationships with family and friends causing anxiety or resentment? Are you finding yourself in relationships that seem to always end up with the same outcome? Are you finding yourself to feel anxious or depressed more often than is manageable? Get in touch for us to discover the cause and provide a more relaxed lifestyle.

Sometimes in life we can be surrounded by people yet feel so alone. When speaking with friends and family you may feel they are not really listening, not realizing they maybe advising, or even competing with your problems. Stress, depression and low self esteem can often make you feel invisible but these feelings are not permanent. Living with shame, anger, fear or sadness can leave you in a dark fog, struggling to find your way through. With help and support your journey may become clearer. I would like to offer you space to talk without feeling judged, pressured or nagged, to experience feeling supported, valued and important.

Having worked in the UK and overseas – in industry, in education and in charities before training as a counsellor and, having had my own struggles, I have a lived understanding that at times many of us are deeply struggling and put on a brave face to get through. And sometimes that doesn't quite get us through. Do you feel a sense of needing to get on with life even though you are struggling, really unhappy and at times not understand why? Have difficult experiences, emotions and thoughts that no-one seems to understand or be interested in? Struggling to cope and wondering if you will ever get out of it?

Have you ever felt like you do not belong? Have you felt like you are from a different planet, compared to your family and friends? Nobody could possibly understand how you feel or even understand the massive range of emotions you experience on a day to day basis? Dealing with anxiety, depression, panic attacks, low self-esteem, low self-confidence, and stress is very isolating. . You constantly feel alone and overwhelmed
