THERAPEUTIC APPROACH
Integrative: humanistic, gestalt, transpersonal, psychodynamic

PERSONAL STATEMENT
Are you dealing with a single life event or issues / trauma from earlier in your life? Are these affecting your emotional health? The counselling I offer allows us to make sense of what has happened to you, thus giving rise to greater self-awareness and positive change, plus the ability to resolve present or past issues.

I also work with couples, addressing a range of issues including communication difficulties, relationship stagnation, and changes in life circumstances.


I have been teaching Buddhist meditation and mindfulness practices for over 15 years and bring these skills to my counselling practice.
I have online availability plus in-person availability in central Brighton.

Individual Therapy
I work with autism and masking, stress and anxiety, low mood, loss, panic attacks, LGBT+, relationship difficulties, boarding school survivors and more

THERAPEUTIC APPROACH
Psychodynamic

PERSONAL STATEMENT:
Who do you believe you are? Our past experience, our memories and stories seem to define us and the way we behave. But sometimes unhelpful beliefs that we are not even aware of can hold us back and affect the present. We get the world we think we see.
I will help you tell your authentic story, exploring dreams, childhood memories, and fantasies. Through this process you gain self-understanding, the opportunity to update beliefs that no longer serve you, and change the way you behave in the world.

Practical Details:
Sessions are 50 minutes, costing £60
I offer a free 30 minute initial session to assess the nature and scope of the work. The work is open-ended. We will work together as long as needed.

Current Availability:
Currently some availability on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
My rooms are in central Brighton.

Couples Therapy

Couples therapy is a dynamic process: like exercise, what you get out of it depends on what you put in.

I work with both opposite-sex and same-sex couples in central Brighton on Thursday afternoon and evening.  I can help with communication difficulties, infidelity (affairs), pregnancy/fertility/children, Later life (children leaving home), loss of sex drive and more.

I use a range of exercises and interventions as well as ‘talk therapy’ to help you identify and work with blocks that may be impacting your relationship.  I will not take sides, and will encourage both partners to explore what they need to work through.

Sessions are 75 minutes and cost £100.  Initially we will work together for two sessions before deciding how to go forward.

Availability on Thursday afternoon/evening
