I work with many issues including: Relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, trauma, feeling stuck
As an integrative therapist I aim to be open, responsive and present to whatever you bring to each session. I draw from psychodynamic, humanistic, existential and attachment informed approaches. I can also help to deepen awareness through mind-body approaches if this is something you are open to.

I have worked effectively with patients struggling with issues related to; anxiety, depression, addiction, difficult thoughts, identity issues, issues with relationships and managing emotions.
In psychotherapy we create space to think together about these patterns and what lies beneath them. There is no set agenda. We begin with whatever feels important to you and pay attention to the thoughts, feelings, memories, and experiences that emerge, including what happens within the therapy itself. Over time this can help you develop a clearer understanding of yourself, your relationships, and the difficulties you face, opening up possibilities for lasting change.

Areas of Support I specialize in helping people navigate common life challenges, such as: • Anxiety • Depression • Relationship breakdown • Bereavement By helping you explore and understand your experiences and history, I aim to foster a renewed sense of self-confidence and vitality.
Why Seek Therapy? Feeling stuck or overwhelmed? You're not alone. Are you feeling down, unsure about your emotions, overwhelmed, or just need someone to listen and understand you? Many people turn to therapy for various reasons, and often the hardest part is overcoming the belief that our struggles are ordinary and we should just "get on with it." But reaching out can make a world of difference.

Well done for taking the first step towards seeking more support. I know finding the right therapist can be overwhelming. Hi. I'm Bex (she/they). Therapy with me is non-judgmental, kind, and down-to-earth. It's a space to focus on you. I'm trauma-led, and I often work with women, queer, and neurodivergent people. I'm neuro-queer (with ADHD), too. I'm work hard to be anti-racist. In sessions, we'll uncover what's blocking you from where you want to be. I welcome any tricky, messy stuff; you do not need to have it figured out. I work in Brighton on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, in London Bridge on Thursdays, and online.

I specialise in supporting people with OCD and I work online with clients across the UK and beyond. I also have lived experience of OCD, so I understand how convincing and distressing it can be. Together we can make sense of what you’re experiencing and help you break free from unhelpful patterns.
