Counselling in Portslade

A warm welcome to my profile page. I have over twenty years experience working in mental health, and I'm here to offer compassionate, non judgemental support, be that with managing the stresses of everyday life, making personal changes or navigating your way through a crisis. People are individuals, and I'm commited to the idea that the support they receive should reflect this and come from a place of positive personal empowerment. I truly believe that difficult times and challenges offer an opportunity for personal growth and development, but also that you don't just have to 'survive' them ,you can come out thriving.

I have extensive lifelong experience of supporting those suffering with poor mental health, including the most severe conditions. I have worked successfully with people of all ages, including adolescents, homemakers, C-Suite executives and those receiving end-of-life care. I also work with couples using The Gottman Method.

Do you worry about tomorrow? Modern life can feel overwhelming and the way forward uncertain. You might feel anxious all the time, burnt-out or struggle to sleep, as your mind races in circles. Perhaps you are recovering from past or accumulative trauma? All the while, your relationships with loved ones, colleagues and even yourself is suffering. Counselling offers you the opportunity to understand and relieve your symptoms and also improve self-esteem. I understand that having therapy can also feel uncomfortable or even self-indulgent.

Has your desire disappeared? Maybe you're questioning your sexual orientation? Navigating through the complexities of sex and relationships can feel like riding a rollercoaster, and not the fun kind. You've explored every avenue, and advice from Google isn't cutting it. You might feel hesitant about trying sex therapy, or perhaps you've had a less-than-great experience in the past. Either way, you need someone who will listen without judgement.

Issues with relationships, porn, kink or fetish? Does sex feel addictive, painful or boring? Maybe sex isn't as satisfying as it was or as good as it could be. I offer practical, highly specialist help for relationships & individuals. Due to demand, I have opened a Saturday morning clinic offering sessions. As a Sex Addiction PhD Scholar, I also offer Compulsive Sexual Behaviour Therapy to clients who think their sex life is problematic. I'm able to offer a tailored, unique programme of support using my knowledge and research. I help clients feel less alone, whilst discovering what is going on for them and what to do about it.
