Why counselling?

Sometimes, we seek therapy to rediscover who we are, to reconnect with parts of ourselves that may have been forgotten or overlooked. It’s a journey back to yourself, to finding your own strength, clarity, and sense of purpose once again.

Counselling offers a safe, supportive space to help you make sense of what you’re going through. It can help you understand yourself better, build confidence, and develop new skills so you can focus on what truly matters in your life.

Counselling can support you by:

• Providing a space to talk without fear of judgement – so you can nurture and nourish the parts of yourself that need care.
• Helping you recognise triggers and early warning signs of overwhelm – so you can develop strategies to prioritise your wellbeing.
• Supporting you in setting boundaries and managing expectations – your own and others’ – so you can create a life that aligns with your needs and values.

With experience as both a wellbeing group facilitator and a counsellor, as well as through my own lived experiences, I understand how life’s challenges can deeply affect relationships, health, personal goals, and sense of self.

I am passionate about helping clients reconnect with themselves, identify their needs, and tend to the parts of their lives that may have been left behind.

Training and background

I am a fully qualified and registered counsellor with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

In our work together, you can expect warmth, acceptance, and compassion. I will create a safe and supportive space where you can freely explore whatever is on your mind. We will focus on what truly matters to you, and my role is to guide you – not to tell you what to do, but to help you make sense of what’s going on. Together, we’ll uncover your inner strength and work towards the growth and clarity you are seeking.

I’ve had the privilege of working with adults from diverse backgrounds, and my core training is in person-centred counselling, which remains at the heart of my approach. I’ve also trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and incorporate mindfulness and self-compassion practices to enrich our work. This allows us to explore a flexible approach that best suits your individual needs.

In addition to one-on-one counselling, I am a group facilitator and a WRAP (Wellness Recovery Action Plan) trainer. If you’d like to use WRAP as a model for managing your mental health and wellbeing, I’d be more than happy to share more details with you.

As an LGBTQ+ ally, and someone who affirms Gender, Sexual, and Relational Diversity (GSRD) and neurodiversity, I am committed to creating an inclusive, compassionate space for everyone.

I’m passionate about learning and continuously growing, both professionally and personally. By attending workshops, training courses, and engaging in research, I ensure that my practice is always evolving, just as I encourage my clients to do.

Availability, fees and how to get in touch

My counselling room is in Lewes, East Sussex. I am able to offer face-to-face or online sessions, via Zoom.

I offer a free, 15-minute introductory phone call where we can discuss what you’re looking for from counselling and explore if we’re a good fit.

If we decide to work together, we’ll schedule our first session, and after that, you can choose if you’d like to continue. Counselling may involve just a few sessions or a longer process, depending on what you need. We’ll regularly check in to ensure our work is helping you move forward.

Sessions are 50 minutes long, typically held weekly or every other week.

My fees are £60.00 per session with some concessions available.  Please talk to me to see if I have any concessionary appointments available.
