Available Counselling in Hove
I understand how hard getting support can feel; not knowing how talking might help or if you’re ready to let someone share your inner world. Finding the right fit for you shouldn’t also be part of the struggle.
Most people come to therapy to stop hiding. But for Neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ communities, the therapy can sometimes feel like another place where you must mask, explain yourself, or justify your sensory needs.
Whether you’re processing or exploring ADHD/Autism/AuDHD, exploring your gender or sexuality, or just ‘managing’ living in an inhospitable world, I provide a space where you don't have to translate yourself.

My person-centred modality carries the core belief that we are all born innately good. Things happen to us along our journey in life. Learnt behaviour and experiences shape our thoughts and feelings in our development. We can repeat our reactions to circumstances when they occur in adulthood. We can become unconscious of our behaviours because of the busy lives we lead. It's as if our experiences stick to us like "papier mache' " in the developmental years, forming a different self. This can be an uncomfortable and unwelcome reality that we want to change in adulthood or when it becomes painful, but we often do not know how to.

Life can feel overwhelming when you’re navigating challenges like trauma, relationship difficulties, or major life transitions. You may feel stuck, disconnected, or burdened by patterns and emotions that seem impossible to shift. I understand how daunting it can be to take the first step towards change, but you don’t have to face it alone. My role is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your experiences, process your emotions, and begin to heal.

Are you struggling with intimacy, sexual confidence, or feeling disconnected from your partner or your own body?
Difficulties with sex and relationships are incredibly common, but many people feel too ashamed or anxious to talk about them. This can be from a combination of how sex was talked about in your household, your sex education, early sexual experiences and unpleasant sexual experiences. Therapy offers a safe and supportive space to explore what’s going on and begin to move forward.

Can you imagine how it’d feel to be less overwhelmed, to ease your anxiety, to be less plagued by self-doubt, to find relationships easier?

Life can be difficult sometimes, and it might feel like you’ve been alone in this. But I promise you it doesn’t have to be this hard.

As a highly experienced psychoanalytic/psychodynamic Child & Adolescent Psychotherapist I work with sensitivity, adapting to need and nurturing trust to support exploration of personal experience, future goals and aspirations. Bringing appropriately paced awareness to underlying thoughts and feelings can support understanding and integration of previously unrecognised aspects of self, and over time the growth of authenticity, emotional wellbeing, and more fulfilling ways of living and relating. I work with ages from 5-25. I provide supervision to other psychotherapists and counsellors.

Are you arguing with your partner all the time? Or perhaps there aren't arguments, but an atmosphere that makes every day life difficult to get through when you're around each other. You might have found out your partner is having an affair. Or maybe things are just a bit tough and you need some support. Being able to communicate with your partner is so important to having a good relationship, being heard and feeling listened to is key to this. Relationship therapy can really help you to feel understood and understand your partner, and can help build a more positive future for you.

Hi! I believe that we are all made of stories - and stories have the power to shape our lives. Together we'll explore YOUR stories, about yourself and your world– the ones you've absorbed through life, and the ones hidden deep in your bones. Through an existential, decolonial, queer and maybe sometimes anarchist lens, we'll play with stories through art, zines, puppets, walking and listening, deeply, to the stories of the objects and the places we encounter.
I invite you to a radical lostness, an imaginal place of possibility and seeing things differently, where new, strange stories can shift your perspective and open new paths!

Sometimes, it’s simply about having this time each week that is just for you.

I am available weekdays, evenings, and Saturdays.
I work with clients aged 16 and above, on a wide range of issues including anxiety, low mood/depression, self-esteem and stress. My approach is integrative, which allows me to tailor my approach to the individual client, taking into account their identity, values, beliefs, and situation in life.
Some people are simply looking for a safe, non-judgmental space to work through their feelings and experiences, while others are hoping to makes changes in their lives. I am skilled and experienced with both approaches, and work collaboratively with clients to help them achieve their stated goals.

You may be feeling lost, stuck, or unfulfilled, with a sense that life isn’t quite working in the way it once did. You might be navigating anxiety, low mood, trauma, sleep difficulties, or neurodivergence such as ADHD, and feeling unsure how this fits into your sense of self. I’m a BABCP-accredited CBT therapist with a professional background in social work and almost ten years’ experience across NHS and private practice. I offer thoughtful, integrative therapy that balances practical support with depth and exploration. I often draw on modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment therapy, compassion focussed therapy and mindfulness.

How do I find a therapist near me who is accepting new patients?
Finding a therapist who is actively accepting new patients can feel overwhelming, so it can be helpful to narrow your search down as much as possible. Use the Psychology Today Therapy Directory to search specifically for therapists who are in your area and who are accepting new patients right now, so you are not wasting time reaching out to providers who have a closed waitlist. From there, you can narrow your search further by therapist characteristics, specialty, and whether you prefer in-person or online appointments. Once you find someone who looks like a good fit, you can reach out directly to confirm their availability and request an initial consultation.
How long does it typically take to get an appointment with a therapist?
Wait times for therapists in the UK vary widely depending on whether you go through the NHS or seek private care. Through the NHS, wait times typically range from a few weeks to several months depending on your area and the urgency of your referral. Private therapists are generally available much faster, often within a few days to a couple of weeks. Wait times also differ by therapist type. Counsellors tend to be more widely available than clinical psychologists, who hold a doctoral degree and are fewer in number. In addition, therapists who specialise in trauma, eating disorders, or child and adolescent therapy also tend to have longer wait times due to the limited number of professionals relative to demand.
What are my options if no therapists near me are accepting new patients right now?
If you are having difficulty finding a local therapist with availability, there are a few steps you can take. First, consider expanding your search to include online therapy, not just providers in your immediate geographic location. Online therapy has made it possible to see a licensed therapist in your area without needing to travel, and in many cases online providers have shorter wait times than local in-person practices. Second, your GP can serve as a helpful bridge while you wait. They can conduct an initial evaluation and, in some cases, connect you with local mental health services more quickly than a self-referral would. Third, if your symptoms feel urgent, community mental health services may be available regardless of your ability to pay for private care. They can offer psychiatric assessment, crisis intervention, and medication management to help stabilise your situation in the interim while you wait for a longer-term therapist.
