My Approach

My therapeutic approach is best described as ‘Integrative’ which means that I bring together different schools of thought such as Psychodynamic, Gestalt, Humanistic, Existential and the Transpersonal. This enables me to draw upon a wide range of therapeutic styles which I tailor to your specific individual needs.

I take a holistic approach which means I provide support that looks at the whole person, not just your mental health needs; I also consider your physical, emotional, social/sexual and spiritual wellbeing as an individual.

Therapy can be an intimidating experience, especially if you are not sure where to start. We will work collaboratively to create a space in which you can feel safe and secure to better reflect upon your life experiences in depth.

Every one of us comes with a ‘story’ attached to our past which is influenced by our early experiences, and which forms our central core beliefs as adults. Our struggles can also bring us the opportunity for change and growth, therefore my aim is to walk with you through your life challenges and help you find your way forward.

About Me

About me

A space to understand yourself and move forward

There are times in life when we can feel stuck, overwhelmed or uncertain about how to move forward. Sometimes we understand what is happening; at other times, we simply know that something does not feel right.

Therapy offers an opportunity to step back from the pressures of everyday life and explore what is really going on. It can help you make sense of your experiences, understand yourself and your relationships more deeply, and recognise patterns that may be influencing the way you live and relate to others.

You do not need to have everything worked out, or even know exactly where to begin. We can start with what feels most important to you and gradually develop an understanding of what you need. My aim is to help you gain greater clarity and self-awareness, and to support you in making changes that can lead to a more fulfilling life.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am an experienced UKCP-Registered Psychotherapist and couples therapist, offering both short- and long-term psychotherapy. I work with individuals and couples, offering online therapy and in-person sessions in Brighton & Hove.

I work with a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety and depression, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, identity, sexuality, loss, trauma, addiction, and experiences of shame, isolation or abandonment. I have particular experience working with LGBTQ+ clients, including issues around sexuality, internalised shame, intimacy and relationships.

My approach is integrative, drawing particularly on psychodynamic, attachment-based and humanistic approaches. I adapt the way I work according to your individual circumstances, needs and what you hope to explore.

Following seven years of psychotherapy training, I was awarded an MA in Integrative and Transpersonal Psychotherapy by the University of Northampton through the Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapeutic Education (CCPE) in London.

I also hold a BSc (Hons) in Homeopathy. My earlier work in this field developed my longstanding interest in the complexity of human experience and continues to inform my understanding of the individual.

Starting therapy

Choosing a therapist is an important decision, and I believe the relationship between therapist and client is central to effective therapy.

An initial conversation gives us an opportunity to discuss what has brought you to therapy, what you are hoping to explore and whether I might be the right therapist for you. There is no need to arrive with a clear plan or know exactly what you want to say.

We can simply begin with a conversation and see where it leads.
