Infidelity Counselling in RH19

Therapy isn't just about resolving problems in our lives. It's also very much about personal growth and development – exploring our ‘blind spots’ with a trusted other. Curiosity and self-compassion are key, allowing us to turn, with an open curiosity, towards aspects of ourselves or another, which we might otherwise judge or turn away from. There can be no discovery when there's judgement in the way. Self-awareness is one of the most important skills for a person to develop, yet one of the most difficult.

I am a BACP registered psychotherapist and supervisor, working from a clinic in Forest Row, Sussex, online by Zoom and outdoors in nature. My approach is responsive & compassionate, giving you space to consider your current experiences, process your feelings, and develop practical tools & skills that help. My experience includes: emotional regulation, anger management, bereavement & loss, sex & sexuality, parenting, neuro-diversity, developmental trauma, anxiety, chronic illness, stress & burnout, life transitions, spirituality & creativity. I work using Gestalt therapy, somatics & energy healing to enable you to find your way.

Being human in today's fast-paced uncertain world, it's quite normal to be living with the likes of anxiety, loneliness, depression or a mixture of these and other mental health issues. Of course how we were raised and the traumas we may have endured, all stack up to tamper with our minds. The good news is, that help is available to assist us heal and live happier lives. With the right therapist, not least one that you like and feel comfortable with, progress can be made, anxiety can lift and the past can be healed.

I am a fully qualified Counsellor and accredited member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). I offer face to face, online or outdoor sessions and am experienced in working both short and long term. I'm down to earth and aim to create a relaxed, safe and confidential environment in which you feel able to be yourself and talk freely. You might be struggling with anxiety, feeling uncertain about your life choices or having relationship difficulties. Whatever you want to talk about, counselling can help to build greater self-awareness and in turn more clarity and choice in how you move forward.

Therapy is personal journey, unique to you and directed by what you want to achieve; I trained in Relational Transactional Analysis and use this modality to support my clients' growth in self awareness and understanding of the unconscious patterns that have been driving their behaviour. Many clients can't fully articulate what they want from therapy, only that they want things to be different, this is normal, and part of the process of therapy is working with you to discover what you want. On the way we aim to discover what blocks you from achieving your goals and support you in finding new paths to reach your goal.

Any of us can feel stuck, sad, lost and seemingly unable to move forward. Making sense of these feelings is critical to our both physical and emotional wellbeing. Impact Wellbeing works with you :an individual, a group, a team to explore ways to positively impact your world. Something small can appear to have led to a spiralling out of control by you /someone you care for /work with; you may feel unable to understand why someone self harms ; making sense of why someone took or tried to take their life by suicide, and there are few places to go to; we are here to help you make sense. What impacts your wellbeing matters.

Are you feeling angry, anxious, overwhelmed or suffering from low mood? Has something recently happened to you that you need to talk about with someone who won’t judge but who can help you make sense of things? Perhaps you’ve had a traumatic or difficult experience that you need to talk over? Maybe you wake up each day feeling unfulfilled and have a sense that there must be more to life than this? It may be that you are experiencing something new, such as parenthood, which is bringing up uncomfortable memories of your past? Whatever the presenting concern, I'm here to help.

I am an experienced psychotherapist with UK qualifications in Psychology and Psychotherapy and over 20 years working in the world of relationships, sexuality and wellbeing. I help individuals, couples and other relationship groups deal with struggles, development, change and loss within their relationships and personally. Most of my clients are trying to overcome problems in relationship with themselves and/or others. I use an integrated approach to psychotherapy, leaning heavily towards Relational Life Therapy which is always underpinned by current psychological research.

You might be feeling anxious and stressed at the moment or looking for support for something that has been an issue for a long time. I will create a space for you to explore things you might not have been able to speak about before. I have a wide experience base as the foundation to my private practice. This includes Psychiatric rehabilitation, drug and alcohol treatment services, eating disorders, acute adolescent psychiatric inpatient settings and work with children and young people in the care system. I work integratively which means I draw from a range of therapeutic models to create a care plan that best fits your needs.

The therapeutic relationship between counsellor and client plays a pivotal role in influencing the success of therapy. This hinges on personal preference and a genuine connection. Often you will intuitively sense whether the therapist is the right match, even from the first contact. Are you feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges? Seeking therapy is a courageous and brave step, whether it’s for bereavement, grief & loss, or other life difficulties such as anxiety or depression.
