I am available for face-to-face sessions in a confidential space in my home.  I am also available online in the UK and Internationally.   Currently, most of my sessions are Monday daytimes, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday evenings and weekends.  

Please contact me directly for my availability.  

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming—like standing in a fog, unsure which way to turn. Many of us face pressures that leave us feeling lost, uncertain of who we are or where we’re headed. Our experiences—and how we respond to them—are deeply personal, which can sometimes leave us feeling unheard, isolated, or stuck.

In moments like these, it can help to have someone alongside you—someone who listens deeply, without judgment, and supports you in making sense of your thoughts, emotions, and relationships.

I’m an Integrative Therapist, which means I work holistically—drawing from a range of therapeutic approaches to best support your unique needs. My style is empathic, warm, and grounded in creating a safe, non-judgemental space where you feel heard and understood.

At the heart of my practice is the therapeutic relationship. I believe that healing happens in connection, and I’m passionate about working collaboratively with you to foster growth, self-awareness, and meaningful change.

I have experience supporting clients through a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, substance misuse, stress, trauma, abuse, relationship difficulties, and grief. I also work with loss and bereavement, drawing on my time as a Bereavement Counsellor in a hospice setting.

My background includes counselling in a community mental health setting and working within Children’s Services as a Therapeutic Parenting Practitioner, where I specialised in supporting adolescents and teenagers. These roles have deepened my understanding of family dynamics, developmental needs, and the importance of relational safety—especially during times of emotional upheaval.

I work closely with psychodynamic theory, exploring how early attachment experiences and past relationships may be shaping your present. I also focus on the mind-body connection in healing, and often draw on Internal Family Systems (IFS) to support you in understanding the internal parts of yourself—especially those that may be in conflict or holding you back.

Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, or relational challenges, I’ll meet you with curiosity, compassion, and respect for your pace and autonomy. Depending on your preferences, I may also integrate creative tools—such as art, music, metaphor, or somatic grounding techniques—to help bring emotional experiences into focus.

I’m a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (Íø±¬ÃÅ) and abide by their Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions.

Introductory call

Taking the first step toward counselling can feel daunting, but you're not alone. I offer a free 20-minute consultation by telephone or online, giving you the opportunity to ask questions and get a sense of whether I’m the right therapist for you.

This initial conversation is a chance for us to connect and explore how we might work together going forward. There’s no pressure—just a gentle space to begin.

Your First Session

Our first full session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other more deeply.

We’ll spend some time exploring what brings you to therapy and what you hope to gain.

Part of the session will include an assessment to help me understand your needs and tailor our work together. I’ll be guided by you throughout, ensuring the pace feels safe, respectful, and comfortable.

My current availability is mostly evenings, weekends and Friday/Saturday daytime.  

During our lives we are faced with pressures which may leave us feeling lost and uncertain of who we are and the direction we want to go in. Our experiences and how we respond to them are unique to each of us which can sometimes leave us feeling unheard, isolated and stuck. In times like these, we may need some extra support in making sense of ourselves and others so that we can make more sense of the world we live in. My aim is to help you in exploring your thoughts and emotional responses from your experiences, which may now be impacting on your daily life. We will find an holistic way to work together, in you finding your own answers, encouraging discovery, growth and change.

I have experience of working with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, substance misuse, stress, trauma, abuse, partner and family relationships, grief, loss and bereavement. I have worked in a hospice as a Bereavement Counsellor, counselling in a community mental health setting and Children’s Services as a Therapeutic Parenting Practitioner, specialising in adolescents and teenagers. I also have my own private practice working out of Hastings and Eastbourne, as well as online and telephone.

I am an Integrative Therapist which means I work holistically, using a number of modalities to suit individual needs. I am an empathic and warm therapist, ensuring I hold a safe and non-judgemental space for you. The therapeutic relationship between client and therapist is at the core of my practice. I am passionate about working collaboratively with you and encourage positive growth and change. I work closely with the psychodynamic therapeutic model, so exploring how the past can impact our present through our attachment experiences. My focus is on the mind/body connection in healing and how our mind’s internal parts which make up the whole self, may be in conflict and therefore blocking us from being in touch with our authentic self.

I offer a no-fee 30 minute consultation on the telephone or online.   It is an opportunity for you to ask me any questions you may have and talk through what brings you to therapy.    This initial conversation will give you a good idea of how we will work together going forward.

You may naturally feel a bit nervous about starting therapy, so I will explain what you can expect from me and learn what your needs and goals are through an initial assessment. The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other better. We will go at a pace that is comfortable for you.

My counselling session rate is £50 per hour.  I do offer concessionary rates on a few places as and when they become available.
