Parenting Counselling in Horsham
None of us are immune to life's difficulties, and speaking with a counsellor whilst going through difficult times can significantly lessen that burden. It provides you with the time, space and support to process where you are in your life right now, and where you want to be heading. I have been working within the counselling field for over 17 years. I have worked within NHS settings and various counselling organisations in that time, offering a variety of proven, effective therapies to assist a wide range of issues.

As a humanistic counsellor you are at the centre of my practice. Working with children and adults I provide a safe and accepting space to explore and empower your decisions. I understand that life can feel confusing, isolating and some events can bring up emotions you had boxed away, leaving you feeling overwhelmed. You might feel that you have lost sight of who you are or that people just do not hear you. Big life changes especially in childhood have such an impact on us, and it is about seeing these patterns and deciding if you want to change them.

It takes courage and strength to reach out for support, and I never take that lightly. I’m always grateful to be the person you choose to trust.

It’s a space where you’re given time to gently explore past wounds, recognize and understand unhelpful patterns, and begin to reconnect with parts of yourself that may have been silenced or forgotten.

I work with a wide range of clients, those who are “wearing a mask”, facing adversity, struggling with past trauma, loss of agency, identity, or self-destructive patterns. They feel disconnected, reactive, and uncertain about their future. They need a structured approach to rebuild trust in themselves, regain control, and find meaning in navigating their suffering. Their goal is growth, not just recovery. They want clarity, resilience, and a sense of purpose because they refuse to be defined by their past. My therapy focuses on reintegrating the divided self, fostering agency, and helping clients transform pain into strength.

If you're struggling with anxiety or depression at the moment then I can help.
At the heart of my work is the belief that our earliest relationships shape how we see ourselves and connect with others. I help clients explore potentially hidden patterns of trust and security that may be having an impact on their relationships, emotions, and sense of self.
I provide a supportive space for you to slow down, reflect, and explore what’s happening beneath the surface. By bringing these into the open, you can begin to create new ways of relating, heal from old wounds and develop a more authentic sense of self.

I often support parents in navigating the complexities of raising children while healing from their own experiences.
Feeling seen, heard and understood is essential for our health and I provide a safe place for this. When we feel that our bodies and minds are working against us it can overwhelm, exhaust and isolate us. I help people who have experienced Adverse Childhood Experiences reconnect with their sense of safety, worth and agency. Sometimes simply the absence of empathy and understanding in our early years can be sufficient to cause deep wounds. I am an experienced therapist, using a Trauma-informed, Attachment and body-based approach to gently support healing.

Parenting Counsellors
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
