Counselling in RH12

Having worked in the UK and overseas – in industry, in education and in charities before training as a counsellor and, having had my own struggles, I have a lived understanding that at times many of us are deeply struggling and put on a brave face to get through. And sometimes that doesn't quite get us through. Do you feel a sense of needing to get on with life even though you are struggling, really unhappy and at times not understand why? Have difficult experiences, emotions and thoughts that no-one seems to understand or be interested in? Struggling to cope and wondering if you will ever get out of it?

Is life feeling overwhelming? Are you finding relationships with family and friends causing anxiety or resentment? Are you finding yourself in relationships that seem to always end up with the same outcome? Are you finding yourself to feel anxious or depressed more often than is manageable? Get in touch for us to discover the cause and provide a more relaxed lifestyle.

If you are experiencing a difficult time, please contact me and we can meet to talk about the way forward. Everyone experiences difficult times in life and I am here to help you consider the way forward. I offer counselling and TA psychotherapy in a safe and confidential space to talk through issues and concerns with the wellbeing of my client being central. My foundations are based on the TA values that everyone is ok, everyone is capable of making decisions and change is possible.

Hello and welcome to my page. I am a professionally qualified therapist, clinical supervisor and mindfulness practitioner, and have over 20 years’ experience. I am a warm, compassionate and experienced counsellor and therapist, who can create a safe and trusting space for you to talk in confidence about issues or problems that might be affecting you. Counselling can help with many difficult life problems - from coping with relationship issues or bereavement, to dealing with depression and/or anxiety. You may be trying to manage harmful emotional behaviours, struggling with a lack of confidence, or maybe just feeling stuck.

Caring, compassionate and easy to talk to therapist to work with you to support you in exploring your difficulties and goals. I will provide a safe, confidential environment for you to talk through and work on any worries, issues or thoughts affecting you. The time we spend together will be responsive to and guided by you. I don't shy away from challenge in helping you explore and understand yourself, your thoughts and actions but do this always in a gentle, collaborative investigative way, helping you to challenge and understand yourself. Therapy will be directed towards your goals, aims and wishes.

If you're finding yourself struggling with overwhelming thoughts I provide a non- judgemental space to explore these with you as the first step towards change. We can explore any mental health challenges you may be experiencing such as personal feelings, communication skills, physical health, major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, how to manage stress, substance abuse, health conditions, physical illness, traumatic events, relationship struggles, the death of a loved one, daily stressors, or something else entirely that all human beings can deal with in life

I am a professionally qualified counsellor. I see clients face to face and also offer phone and online video sessions. I have been seeing clients through a number of organisations for several years. I am experienced in working with a wide range of issues, personalities and ages and see clients from 16 years and up. I provide couples counselling; working with both of you to help resolve relationship difficulties. I am also a qualified counselling supervisor, I offer counselling supervision one-to-one and with small groups to both qualified and trainee counsellors.

Life gives us challenges at times no matter who we are. We are better equipped to deal with these challenges when we have the right support in place. This is where counselling can play a big part in supporting you to deal with whatever challenges you might be facing. Studies have shown that traumatic childhood events can present in our lives when we reach adulthood leaving us in a state of confusion. No matter what your challenges are or where they have come from counselling is there to help you deal with them in a safe and neutral place. I can offer online counselling, face to face, and a walk and talk service.

Seeking help can be the first step to emotional freedom. We all have experienced difficulties in our lives and Counselling can be beneficial to help you realise the trauma encountered is not your fault. My role is to work together and support you through the most difficult times. Your life is waiting for you.

It's ok to admit you need help. There is nothing 'wrong' with you - perhaps you need to talk? Counselling is a talking therapy between a client (you) and qualified counsellor (me) and is about being truly heard - a way everyone can take care of themselves. Are you feeling emotionally unsafe? Do you want to find the courage to leave a relationship? Perhaps you are questioning whether your partner is someone you can spend your life with? Struggling with a traumatic experience or event? Feeling isolated and have no one to talk to? Supportive friends and family but find it difficult to speak to them? Unsure about what you need or want?

Many people experience highs and lows in their journey through life. It is a strength to recognise this and reach out to ask for help when you need it. With the Human Givens approach, you can start to feel better from the very first session and I am passionate about helping people achieve this.

One of the most difficult parts of the therapeutic process is taking that first step – deciding to talk to someone. The counselling that I offer provides a safe, confidential space for clients to explore difficult issues, obstacles, choices, and aspirations. I work in a psychosynthetic context that within each individual there exists both a personality (patterns of behaviour) as well as a spiritual aspect (our innate potential) encompassing work at the levels of mind and thinking, body and feeling, spirit and purpose. In our personal and professional lives each of us is a Self that is both divine and human.

If you are looking for a counsellor it may be that you have reached a point of change. I am trained as an integrative counsellor, offer you warmth and regard and a safe place to express your feelings and be heard.

I offer a free 15 minute consultation and work with both individuals and couples. Do you feel like you experience the same patterns of behaviour, same relationship issues? Does the world feel unsettled right now? Are you anxious and/or depressed and lacking direction? Are your relationships feeling challenging leaving you wondering what is wrong with you? I am an experienced and qualified Psychotherapeutic counsellor, able to support you in the navigation of working through the answers. Together we can explore and find the path to a better understanding of yourself.

I am a Person-Centred counsellor working in Horsham, West Sussex. I mainly work with young people and teenagers helping them to cope with the everyday pressures that are part of their lives living in these times. I have been supporting young people with their mental health for over seven years in schools, colleges and community settings. I worked through the pandemic providing telephone and online counselling to local students. I also spent several years working at a hospice as a counsellor.

I am an experienced Senior Psychologist who is registered with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC) and I am also an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society (BPS). I work with adults with a range of presenting emotional and mental health difficulties. I also specialise in assessing and supporting adults with Learning Disabilities and adults with Autistic Spectrum Disorders. I mainly use Cognitive Behaviorual Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT). I work in a holistic way and consider all aspects that may affect a persons formulation. I also provide consultancy and training to organisations.

Sometimes in life we can be surrounded by people yet feel so alone. When speaking with friends and family you may feel they are not really listening, not realizing they maybe advising, or even competing with your problems. Stress, depression and low self esteem can often make you feel invisible but these feelings are not permanent. Living with shame, anger, fear or sadness can leave you in a dark fog, struggling to find your way through. With help and support your journey may become clearer. I would like to offer you space to talk without feeling judged, pressured or nagged, to experience feeling supported, valued and important.

Have you ever felt like you do not belong? Have you felt like you are from a different planet, compared to your family and friends? Nobody could possibly understand how you feel or even understand the massive range of emotions you experience on a day to day basis? Dealing with anxiety, depression, panic attacks, low self-esteem, low self-confidence, and stress is very isolating. . You constantly feel alone and overwhelmed
