My Approach

People come to therapy feeling anxious, low, distressed, or just needing someone to talk things through with. As an integrative therapist, I adapt my approach and skills to suit the individual. I aim to meet you with compassion and respect whatever is troubling you, and accompany you as we work towards change.

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 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.

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, empathy and understanding of another can be a catalyst for this alchemical process.

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. Students/trainees welcome.

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 (conc. £60)

I offer a free initial phonecall of 15-20 minutes, prior to a first session, if this would be helpful.

About Me

I'm an experienced integrative transpersonal psychotherapist working with adults of all ages. I see clients in person in Haywards Heath, 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 hobbies such as gardening and volunteer conservation work.
