Counselling in Hove

I am a MBACP registered counsellor in private practice in Hove Horsham & Lewes. I have broad experience in relationship therapy, young people and family matters. My background is psychology & psychotherapy, having worked with a number of organisations such as RELATE & MIND UK

Are you battling anxiety and your inner critic? Is your life overshadowed by grief? Are you worn-out and think it must always be like this? It doesn't have to be!

I specialise in many areas including anxiety, depression, identity issues, relationships, self-esteem, well-being, self-harm and general counselling.

If you've got problems, I can help.. As a therapist I am happiest when I am genuinely able to make a difference to someone and help them feel better. I have had a great deal of experience of working with many different people, each one of them with their own unique story, and their own way of seeing the world, each one of them also with the problems that sometimes arise for all of us as human beings trying to live the best we can. Maybe you feel anxious and don't know why? Perhaps you've had things happen that are still affecting you?

People seek therapy at different points in their lives and for many unique reasons. You may be feeling anxious, depressed or 'stuck'. There may be a sense of not reaching your potential, or difficulties in a relationship. It may be challenging health or mental-health. You may have experienced a transition, loss or bereavement, wish to work through difficult life experiences, or make sense of your own behavior patterns... ​I work with several therapeutic models and will follow your lead to work in a way most helpful to you. In a safe, collaborative relationship we can work together to understand where you are and what you need.

I am an experienced Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counsellor offering a safe, supportive, non-judgemental space to help you explore your anxieties, difficulties, feelings and behaviours. I am fully qualified and hold a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. I have specific training in bereavement and loss, expressive arts, existential counselling, working with men, menopause and counselling in a diverse society. I practice within the BACP ethical framework and hold an Enhanced DBS certificate. I value diversity and individuality and my practice is non-discriminatory.

I know how hard it is to make this first step, and you've done it. I welcome you. I offer one-to-one counselling and psychotherapy, and describe this as more than simply ‘talking’ therapy. I invite you to explore the body-mind relationship. Are all the parts of you speaking the same language or is there a conflict? What does all of you have to say? I also acknowledge the unique context you are in, and how it plays an integral part on your journey in addition to how you are and see the world. There is value in this relational interplay, much like the sails on a boat navigating all the weathers around it.

I am a warm and compassionate Consultant Clinical Psychologist registered with the British Psychological Society, Health and Care Professions Council, and the British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies.
 I have over 15 years experience in the NHS and have worked in various positions and different contexts, working with adults and young people. My most recent post was as a Consultant Clinical Psychologist working across three prisons in Surrey. I have extensive experience of providing psychological therapy, draw on the latest evidence, and tailor the therapy to your current needs and presenting difficulties.

Life can be difficult, unpredictable and chaotic. Sometimes we can believe that we are 'doomed' to a life we must just 'get' through, and we can feel overwhelmed, anxious and lacking in self confidence . Or we get stuck in repetitive patterns in our relationships or career that continue to make us miserable. If you feel unable or unsure how to make the changes you want to make, I can support you to free yourself from the grip of anxiety, help you to build your confidence and self esteem and enable you to feel more motivated, connected and fulfilled in yourself, your life and your relationship with others.

Hello, I work close to nature, in a private and quiet garden cabin and my dog Bertie is with me if you would like him to be. I want to support you to be OK with yourself. Some of the following questions we might over the time we work together: What are your needs and are you able to express them? What you would like to change in your life and how would life be different after counselling? How do you see yourself and the world and how do you feel you are seen? I like to work creatively, using therapeutic tools to help you connect to different parts of yourself such as sandtray, two chair work, and IFS; exploring what works for you.

I am a psychotherapist and group analyst and have been a therapist for nearly 30 years in many different settings. In my approach, I am interested in making connections between experiences and difficulties in the present, with events and relationships from the past. In my experience, difficulties people experience as adults can often be part of a repeated pattern. I will be curious about relationships in your life but also the way you relate to yourself and to others. This will include how it is in the therapy relationship - whether individually or group.

I am a BACP registered therapeutic counsellor offering a half price exploratory session for us to meet and discuss what you are looking for, before committing to working together. I can help with specific issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, bereavement or a more general feeling that things aren't right that you can't quite put your finger on. I offer a confidential, empathic and supportive space to talk about whatever it is that you are finding difficult in your life.

I have worked for the past 10 years as Family Worker and Person-Centred Counsellor and specialise in working with Parent's supporting a wide variety of issues including, fertility, loss, postnatal anxiety, pnd and birth trauma. We spend our lives trying to avoid difficult situations and distracting ourselves from painful things we wish we could just erase from our memories. Sadly, memories can’t be erased, and life is full of ups and downs. I believe that counselling is a way of freeing ourselves from these things and an opportunity to stop having to hide from the difficult memories we put so much energy into avoiding.
