Humanistic Counsellor

PGDip, MPhil, MBACP (Accredited)

Hello, welcome to my website. I am a BACP accredited counsellor and supervisor, based in the Fiveways area of Brighton and Hove. I offer counselling sessions and supervisory sessions either in-person or online.

You may be experiencing anxiety, depression, loneliness, relationship challenges, low self-confidence, a loss in meaning, the impact of childhood experiences, difficult emotions that overwhelm you, feeling disconnected and lost.

You may be wanting to make changes or going through a significant life event or transition. I have significant experience supporting people working through mid-life transitions.

I am a calm, grounded and considered counsellor. I can offer you a safe and honest space to understand what is underneath how are feeling, by holding up a mirror to you and getting curious about what we find, I can help you identify blind spots and connections you might not be aware of. When we understand our feelings better, we can feel more in control and less at their mercy. My aim is to help you be able to respond to life with resilience.

I am a fully qualified Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and Supervisor with over a decade of experience.  

I offer a free initial 50-minute consultation session so that you can meet me, ask questions, experience the way I work and decide if I am the right Counsellor for you at this time.

I specialise in and can help you with:
