Internal Family Systems (IFS) Counselling in Hove

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.

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.

Do you feel stuck? Do you want to ignite change and welcome healing into your life? Sometimes just talking about things doesn't help. As an integrative psychotherapist and breathwork facilitator I combine various skills and frameworks from my background in psychotherapy, breath and embodiment, psychedelic integration, and interests in IFS , transpersonal & archetypal ways of working to help you on your healing journey. I understand the psyche as having an innate healing-tendency, and all discomfort emerging to be worked through, transmuted and ultimately integrated.

I help people connect with their own inner healer and the healing power of nature. My primary methods are ecotherapy and internal family systems . I see people with any type of emotional issues and through compassionate enquiry we build a shared understanding of why these symptoms are here and what they may be asking for to transform. I specialise in eating disorders and couple therapy, and see many people for psychedelic integration and spiritual enquiry.

I’m a counselling therapist based in Hove, Brighton & Maidstone, Kent. I specialise in addiction but work with many other issues too including couples counselling. I firmly believe clients should be encouraged to shop around which is why I offer a 50% discount on the first session. We will explore & endeavour to shed new light on your way of being in the world, thus far, & how your past has informed your sense of self in the present & how you might want to enhance your life still further by bringing yourself out of the shadows & into the light? We don’t see the world as it is but as we; so who are we, really?

It could be you have recently hit a tough time in your life and need a space to make sense of it. It might be that a relationship has become difficult; with your partner, at work with colleagues, with your children or close family members. You may be suffering symptoms of anxiety and depression and you are finding it harder to function in daily life. It may be that you are transitioning from one stage to another in your life; leaving home, starting a family or approaching retirement and you need somewhere to work through some of the feelings of anxiety, fear and uncertainty that such a change can bring.

First Online Session is Free to explore therapy, see if we are a good fit. I work with short and long-term sessions. I will help you achieve positive thoughts and changes in a very different way to most therapists. I support you to embrace a depth of work with challenging (and always compassionate) processes, to feel empowered, gain insight, move forwards with absolute insight, strength and positivity.

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.

Hello and welcome. I'm a warm and approachable counsellor, working with stuckness, confusion, depression, feelings of failure, indecision, procrastination, inner critic/self sabotage and low self esteem (and other issues too).

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?

With the support of counselling you will be able to recognise and explore deeper responses and feelings towards aspects of your life such as relationships, family and career. You may be overwhelmed with anxiety or need support to cope better with a challenging situation. You may be feeling confused and need support to gain clarity, or want to explore on a deeper level what is stopping you from feeling content.

If you are dealing with Addictions, symptoms of Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, problems in your relationships, or maybe you just feel a bit sad, directionless, unmotivated, Psychotherapy is for you. In therapy you are held in a safe and confidential space in which you are gently facilitated to explore your feelings, make sense of your current difficulties and find clarity around dynamics in relationships with other people. Talking with a qualified and experienced Psychotherapist could really support you in making the changes and shifts that you need to overcome fears, anxiety, stuckness and all the hurdles that sometimes hurt our soul
