Online Counselling for BN2

I am an LGBTQ affirmative counsellor and psychotherapist. I offer online support to lesbian, gay, bi, non-binary trans and queer people throughout the UK. If you identify as LGBTQ, it can make a huge difference to find an LGBTQ counsellor who accepts you as you are, with warmth and understanding. I have 20 years experience in LGBTQ counselling, advocacy and support services, and work with a broad spectrum of LGBTQ identities and ways of being. I provide a safe, confidential space where you can talk openly about problems that are affecting you and explore your fears, hopes and dreams.

I offer a protected space for you to explore your different needs and feelings, and reflect on your hopes and wishes - some of these may not yet be known. That's the magic: it's a place of discovery! I value working collaboratively to support your wellbeing and aspirations. This can include enhancing the quality of your relationships, being more creative in your life, and developing qualities that allow you to express what is most important to you. I have been in practice for nearly 30 years, working internationally with different cultures, and this has given me a broader perspective and appreciation of diverse points of view.

I offer therapy and counselling to help people to deal with & change unhelpful, disturbing thoughts, feelings & behaviours. These can be recent issues or long-held problems. The good news is – it is possible to change and to live a better, more fulfilling life. I help clients deal with depression & low mood, anxiety & performance anxiety, stress & panic, relationship problems, anger & low self-esteem, bereavement & health/body issues & post-traumatic stress disorder & obsessive, compulsive behaviour. I work with all groups of people & also specialise in working with artists, performers & those working in the creative industries.

The decision to try therapy can seem very daunting, but you have already taken the first step if you are here in this directory. Dealing with difficult issues, loss, bereavement, trauma, divorce/separation, identity , etc can feel utterly overwhelming. Initially, the prospect of sharing such experience may feel like a step too far. My own and clients’ experiences have shown me time & again that it is through the process of talking therapy that in sharing the burden the healing can begin. I have a passionate belief in the power of the wounded, with support, to find some reconciliation, with themselves, their history & in relationship

Life can present us with many challenges. The build-up of everyday stresses and disappointments, or the ability to cope with sadness and pain may at times affect your self-esteem and confidence levels. You may feel the need for support in addition to what you already have in place, which is when you may decide to seek the help of a counsellor. I run my private practice on Tuesdays between 10am-7pm offering remote sessions either by Zoom or telephone - please visit my website for more info. Contact me to arrange a free 30 minute introductory session to help you decide whether I am the right person to work with you.

If you've arrived here, you are already thinking about counselling. You might feel depressed, anxious or overwhelmed and finding it difficult to cope with the challenges of life. Perhaps you have experienced a recent loss, had a sudden change of circumstances or are struggling with relationships. Maybe you don't even know what's troubling you. Research shows positive change happens when there is a good match between client and counsellor. It’s difficult to choose a counsellor or know what to expect from counselling without having a face-to-face meeting. This is why I offer a reduced rate intro session of £15 where we can meet

Over 20 years experience. The practice is in Central Brighton, near the Level/Open Market and Elm Grove, very close to major bus routes as well as having on-street parking. I have a lot of experience working with clients with many varied issues such as depression, bereavement, life changes, personal development, relationships as well as those who have been psychiatrically 'diagnosed' and want a more 'holistic' approach to their life experience. I am a senior accredited and highly qualified counsellor/therapist (PhD, BACP Senior Accredited).

The clinic is a non-judgemental, respectful environment in which people can speak freely about what’s wrong. As a trained counsellor, I encourage my clients to develop insight into self-damaging or limiting thought and behaviour patterns - and I help them make positive change and move forward into a happier life. It could be depression, stress and anxiety, bereavement and loss, cross-cultural issues, life changes or an abusive relationship. The Crysalis clinic is available to anyone who is struggling to cope.

Whether it be anxiety or depression, problems with relationships, bereavement or trauma, my role is to be alongside you in order to support you to overcome the difficulties you are facing.

If there is dissatisfaction in your life, or pain that needs to be resolved, be it the pain of disconnection, depression, anger, bereavement or anxiety, counselling can help. I am an integrative therapist, and worked extensively with adults and young people. My knowledge and experience being an integrative therapist allows me to draw upon a range of approaches to work with you to explore what has been happening in your life up until now, and find ways to allow life being more satisfying, healthier and more meaningful.

I offer you a warm, compassionate and non-judgmental approach. You may want to talk about anything from family or relationship issues, anxiety, anger, depression, loss or whatever is important to you. All of us experience emotional difficulties at some point in our lives. We can find it hard to cope. Counselling provides a safe and confidential space where you can talk about what is happening in your life, explore thoughts and feelings, find ways to cope and help begin to think about a way forward. Counselling can offer general support or can focus on more specific issues.

Are you feeling depressed, confused about what you feel, ground down to the point where you feel unable to cope, or simply wishing you could talk to someone and feel understood? Individuals choose therapy for a variety of reasons and often the biggest hurdle to getting help is an inner voice telling us our problems are nothing special and we should "just get on with it". I provide a safe, empathic environment where you can talk about your concerns without fear of being judged and to provide you with the means to work out your own answers and create the life you want.

Understanding ourselves, the decisions and choices we make and our relationships with others can sometimes be baffling. You may find yourself acting or behaving in ways that you struggle to align with your personal principles, wishes or desires. At times, your experience may suggest that your way of being doesn't blend with the world around you and you might find yourself meeting resistance from people or institutions. Therapy gives us the chance to explore these challenges together. We can look at your relationships with others and the meaning you make of them, helping to develop your insight, self-awareness and self-acceptance.
