When choosing a counsellor it's more important that you find someone you feel totally comfortable with, rather than the particular theories that they use. I work integratively, which means that I use many different counselling theories. This enables me to work flexibly and creatively to meet the individual needs of my clients.

I am a qualified counsellor with a private practice in East Sussex. Having worked in a local GP surgery, many of my referrals come from local GP's. I also work at the Hale Clinic, near Harley Street, London.

For more than six years, I have worked as a bereavement counsellor for the charity Cruse. I work with individuals and couples for as few or many sessions as required. Subsequently, I have a broad experience of working with many different life issues.

The initial session is free of charge. In this, we can assess your needs and together decide if counselling is right for you.

Why Counselling?

I offer a caring, empathic, non-judgemental environment in which we can explore past and present thoughts and feelings about any issue you may wish to discuss. Together, we can look at the choices available to you.

By caring, listening and prompting, counselling can enable you to gain a clearer understanding, often leading to life changes.

Who is it for?

Clients have found counselling can help address many life issues including:-

Confidentiality

As a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists, I work within their ethical framework. This creates a safe environment for my clients. All that is discussed I treat with upmost respect and discretion.

Qualifications
