Couples Counselling in Hove
I offer an attachment-informed, relational humanistic counselling which emphasises the importance of the therapeutic relationship within which I attempt to offer acceptance and understanding for whatever you wish to bring.
In providing a compassionate and equal relationship, it is my hope to collaborate with you to bring about personal growth. I experience working with trauma and a special interest in relationships including non-traditional relationships (polyamory, open- relationships) and sex. I also work with couples therapeutically and offer ENM coaching.

You may be experiencing anxiety, trauma, low mood, grief, addiction, toxic relationships or neurodivergent wellbeing challenges.
Our work may involve compassionate understanding & healing from past trauma, neglect, or it may be more solution focussed in the here and now. We may focus on getting needs met, or improving self leadership & relationship with self & others. I am also curious about how our bodies respond to trauma & how we can better look after ourselves as a whole being.

My therapeutic approach is best described as ‘Integrative’ which means that I bring together different schools of thought such as Psychodynamic, Gestalt, Humanistic, Existential and the Transpersonal. This enables me to draw upon a wide range of therapeutic styles which I tailor to your specific individual needs. I take a holistic approach which means I provide support that looks at the whole person, not just your mental health needs; I also consider your physical, emotional, social/sexual and spiritual wellbeing as an individual. Therapy can be an intimidating experience, especially if you are not sure where to start.

The therapeutic relationship is such a powerful and healing gift to ourselves
I help by being in relation with you, with warmth, with an attitude of unconditional acceptance, curiosity, generosity and kindness; underpinned by the Humanistic tradition, I see you as a being complete in your own right, with a latent potential for growth and healing, a person that can -given the right conditions- aspire to a more fulfilling life.

It can be really unsettling to deal with negative emotions by ourselves and to not know what we can do to help ourselves to feel better. I have been guiding clients for 16 years to achieve a resilient emotional stability and a more balanced sense of self-worth.

Perhaps you are experiencing issues with personal relationships, or feel that something 'isn't right'.
My training is in Transactional Analysis, which explores what may be occurring for you in relationship with others, in addition to what's happening internally. I place great importance on strength of the therapeutic relationship, so that the patterns and challenges you face externally may be explored and understood in the therapy room.

This also helps my work with parents where we look at strategies to help better understand and improve your relationship with your child/ children - I am a single mum and a step-parent.
Welcome! In life we are sometimes given challenges that can leave us feeling stuck, anxious or isolated. If we are lucky, we have support around us to help give us clarity and hope that things will change. However, not all of us have this or, if we do, we may need a person outside our circle to really sit with us, hear our experiences and offer their own unique understanding of where we are now and what we need to become unstuck, less anxious and less alone. I have over ten years experience of doing this using talking therapy, creativity and solution focused therapy depending on each person's individual need and experiences.

Couples Counselling Counsellors
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
