Hello and a warm welcome. Sometimes it can be hard to find the right counsellor, especially if you are feeling lost, anxious, low or completely overwhelmed by life. The process of finding someone who you feel comfortable with can be confusing and perhaps a little daunting and yet it is so important to find the right person for you. I hope this goes some way to helping you making that decision. Something may have happened in your life such as a loss, a traumatic event, a relationship breakdown, or you may just feel you have ‘lost’ yourself along the way. Perhaps you feel lonely, confused, trapped or in complete despair?

Therapy could help you to move forward in your life. My priority in working with you would be to help you to understand how the feelings, thoughts or behaviours that you are struggling with now are linked to experiences in your life.

I have over 20 years experience of working with people struggling with various concerns.

You’ve already done the hard part by being here. Now let’s talk about what working with me really looks like. I am a relational, solution-focused therapist this means  I actively work with you to create meaningful change. Much of my work focuses on anxiety, LGBTQIA+, childhood trauma and attachment, and how those early experiences continue to shape your relationships, choices, and sense of self today.  Therapy with me isn’t about endless circling or sticking plasters. It’s about uncovering what’s really going on, making sense of it together, and building practical, lasting strategies so you can move forward with confidence.

Polegate BN26
My area of special interest is working with Serving & Ex-Members of the Emergency Services, Prison Service, Journalists and Military with regards to Trauma & mid-life.
I mainly work with men under pressure who may look capable and composed on the outside, but privately know something is not right. Many are in high-pressure roles or lead demanding lives, and are used to being the one others rely on. They often come to counselling when stress, burnout, trauma, anxiety, emotional shutdown, shame, or strain in their relationships has started to catch up with them.

Psychotherapist, MNCPS Acc.
Horsham RH12
I charge £65 per session, and £50 for concession session fee for anyone in the armed forces, NHS and education (including spouses).
I work with a wide range of clients, those who are “wearing a mask”, facing adversity, struggling with past trauma, loss of agency, identity, or self-destructive patterns. They feel disconnected, reactive, and uncertain about their future. They need a structured approach to rebuild trust in themselves, regain control, and find meaning in navigating their suffering. Their goal is growth, not just recovery. They want clarity, resilience, and a sense of purpose because they refuse to be defined by their past. My therapy focuses on reintegrating the divided self, fostering agency, and helping clients transform pain into strength.

My clients often struggle with unprocessed trauma, intertwined with shame, guilt, anxiety and depression. They need a safe space to explore trauma without judgment, develop healthy coping strategies, and process shame to rebuild self-worth. They want to break free from destructive cycles, feel worthy of love, rebuild relationships, and find purpose. They seek transformation - not just symptom management but fundamental healing to reclaim their life beyond addiction, lived experience and/or any related pain, grief, loss, shame, anxiety, depression or anger.

It's not always easy to reach out and ask for support. We often feel that we can manage on our own or don't want to bother anyone with our thoughts and feelings. It can be hard to find a balance between work, relationships, family & other commitments to prioritise yourself. No matter what brings you to therapy the most important part is the relationship we will share. I aim to ensure you feel heard & give you a space to work through anything you want to bring to help you have a greater insight & self-awareness and I will walk alongside you on this journey. Counselling isn't a one size fits all package it's as individual as you are.

I get it, life can get overwhelming sometimes. You feel unwell and don't know where to start. You can't put your finger on anything because everything seems like a lot right now: Family, relationships, self-esteem, worry, insecurities, work... nothing feels good anymore. You feel lost and sometimes don't really know what to do. You might struggle to enjoy the things you used to or simply have a good time with friends. Sometimes you might feel ridden by anxiety, worry and overthinking, which makes you question literally everything and you feel exhausted!

Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and highly self-aware, yet remain caught in patterns of self-criticism, perfectionism, pressure, and self-doubt. They may understand why they feel stuck but still struggle to translate insight into meaningful change. Therapy can help uncover what keeps these patterns in place and create a clearer path towards living with greater confidence, flexibility, and purpose.

It takes courage and strength to reach out for support, and I never take that lightly. I’m always grateful to be the person you choose to trust. Counselling is more than just talking. it’s a journey toward deeper understanding, healing, and personal growth. In a world where emotional struggles often go unnoticed or unspoken, counselling offers a calm, safe, and non-judgmental space to explore your inner world. It’s a space where you’re given time to gently explore past wounds, recognize and understand unhelpful patterns, and begin to reconnect with parts of yourself that may have been silenced or forgotten.
