My website
I’m a therapeutic counsellor based in Hastings, and I help people understand and navigate the challenges they’re facing in their lives. I offer a calm, confidential and accepting space where you can be yourself and speak freely, without fear of judgement. We can explore what has brought you to counselling at your own pace, and work together to make sense of what you’re experiencing.
People often come to me feeling anxious, low or overwhelmed, struggling with confidence or self-doubt, or feeling the pressure of work and relationships. I’m particularly interested in supporting people through grief and loss, and also the changes and challenges we all face as we get older.
I work integratively. Sometimes we’ll explore how past experiences continue to shape how we are in the present, and at other times we’ll focus on practical tools to support everyday life. If you’d like to get more of a sense of what working together might feel like, please get in touch to arrange a free discovery session.

My approach is relational and integrative, grounded in Transactional Analysis (TA) but also drawing on other models of psychotherapy and counselling. Together, we'll explore how your early experiences and the messages you received growing up have shaped the way you think, feel and relate to yourself and others today. At other times, our focus may be more practical to support you in the everyday.
