Availability
I see clients in-person in central Brighton throughout the week, with some limited availability in Hove on Thursdays.
I see online clients (UK-wide) at varying times during the week.
About me and my therapy practice
I work with clients who want to grow in and deepen their understanding of themselves, to connect dots and experience themselves with greater clarity at the centre of their own story. It is an honest and sometimes difficult process, but one that is held with trust and intention by us both in a therapeutic alliance. It is an invitation to aim up whilst being compassionate toward how things are for you right at this moment, as well as curious and empathetic towards where difficulties may have originated.
It takes courage to dive deeper into our own experience, and to kindness at depth to forgive, understand and heal difficulties we might encounter along the way. Being a human being is a rich, complex and challenging process, and there is therefore nobility in showing up in our lives, whether we are on top of the world and in flow, or stuck in a rut and feeling out of options or people to turn to.
I am here alongside you in your healing process, to support you in feeling more centred in your life with greater clarity, autonomy and awareness. I offer a welcoming space to trust and grow from a place of depth and understanding.
Practice description
I am an Integrative therapist and I work relationally
One of the main benefits of Integrative therapy is flexibility and a dynamic approach. I am trained in several modalities including Person-centred, Gestalt, CBT, Transaction analysis, psychodynamic and existential ways of working - each of these may naturally serve at different phases in your process. I support clients with a wide range of difficulties including anxiety, anger, depression, self-esteem, relationships, life direction, identity, existential and spiritual difficulties.
We are hard wired as relational beings, which can make life a joyous and loving experience, but also mean that many of our problems are experienced in relation to others, if not to ourselves. I place value on the relationship between the two of us as an opportunity for understanding, experiencing out, undoing and improving such difficulties - growing in trust and security in yourself and in relation to the world and others.
I believe in this meaningful work, and I look forward to walking alongside you in this phase of your journey.
My first session
Free 20 minute initial consultation
If you feel working together may be the right next step for you, I invite you to request a free 20 minute video consultation as a gentle and open opportunity to connect.
You might feel after our chat that this isn't the right fit for you and that is absolutely ok, I will always 100% respect your decision regardless and wish you the best in your search and process.
First full session
If you would like to proceed, we will discuss options for arranging full 50 minute sessions. The first of these will be gently structured around an assessment: this allows landing into the space, deepening understanding of difficulties you might be experiencing, and identifying your intentions and goals for therapy.
Sessions thereafter
Sessions are held weekly and open-ended (i.e. without contract for a specific number of sessions).
Longer sessions are an option subject to availability, and we may collaboratively agree to amend session frequency or duration after a period of working together.

Kindly note I operate a 48 hour cancellation policy
