People come to therapy feeling anxious, low, distressed, or just needing someone to talk things through with. I aim to meet you with compassion and respect whatever is troubling you, and accompany you as we work towards change.
I have worked with bereavement, separation, illness, early life isssues, traumatic histories, lack of confidence, self-esteem, neurodivergence. My practice has included clients from 18 to 80-something. I'm fascinated by the stages of life we go through as we mature and the different challenges and opportunities these bring.
Sometimes issues are rooted in early life experiences and unconscious beliefs; over time we can gently explore these patterns to find better ways of relating to ourselves and others. Sometimes it is more the present situation which needs to be addressed; we might work, for example, by understanding the nature of the challenge, playing with perspectives, and learning new skills. I take a holistic view of a person - so mind, body, spirit - but also how a person fits into the systems and world around them. As an integrative therapist, I adapt my approach to suit the individual and their needs.
I offer talking therapy and also (if wanted) exploration via art/creativity. I believe that we can all access inner resources which support healing, and that the presence, insight and empathy of another can be a catalyst for this alchemical process.
We would meet for an inital session so that you can get a sense of whether you'd like to work with me. Cost: £65 per session.
I am sometimes able to offer a concessionary rate - please enquire.
Students/trainees welcome.
I offer a free initial phonecall of 15-20 minutes, prior to a first session, if this would be helpful.
I'm an experienced integrative psychotherapist working with adults of all ages. I see clients in person in Haywards Heath and Seaford, and also offer therapy online/by phone.
I have a Post-graduate Diploma in Psychotherapy from CCPE (London) and also a Research Masters (Distinction) in Transpersonal Psychotherapy. I have always been interested in psychology and healing; I balance this with practical activities such as gardening and volunteer conservation work.

Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.
