Welcome.
Taking the step to seek counselling can feel daunting, especially if you are unsure about what sort of help you need.
Talking things through in a safe and confidential space with a trained outsider can be life-changing. It can transform your thought patterns, make your feelings clearer and support you through difficult periods in your life when things may feel too much to manage on your own.
We can decide together what you feel will help you.
Perhaps there is something specific you feel you would like to explore further to gain more clarity or perhaps there is something that feels deeper and harder to understand.
We can think about your current and past experiences and how they are impacting your life and relationships in the present.
Whatever your needs, we can decide together what you feel will help you. My main aim for our work together is to help you on your own path of self discovery, instead of offering you the answers.
Session Options
I offer short and long term face-to-face sessions in Chichester, West Sussex.
For those people that prefer being outdoors or perhaps find traditional face-to-face therapy anxiety provoking, I also offer walking therapy in the South Downs National Park. Being in nature is known to release endorphins and that combined with the act of walking and talking can really help with processing your thoughts and feelings.
I also offer counselling via telephone.
If you do decide to get in touch, I offer a free 15 minute chat on the telephone where we can talk about what you feel you would like support with and arrange future sessions.
If you feel at immediate risk of harm to yourself or others, please keep yourself safe until you can get the help you need. I work with clients during our weekly sessions and I therefore recommend that you see your GP as soon as you can, but if it is outside GP hours you could call the following numbers:
Samaritans 116 123
NHS Direct 111
Sussex Mental Healthline 0800 0309 500
A little about me.
I’m an experienced psychotherapist and counsellor and a registered member of The British Association of Counsellors & Psychotherapists (BACP).
I work relationally and believe that negative feelings about ourselves and difficulties we might experience in relationships can often stem from our early experiences and relationships. It is rewarding to see how we can heal and free ourselves from old belief patterns that have held us back and move on to achieve our goals and live more fully.
I have worked with adults covering a broad range of issues including: bereavement, anxiety, depression, abuse, relationship issues, anger management, childhood trauma, eating disorders, racial discrimination, separation and divorce, identity issues, infertility, self harm, sexuality, substance dependency.
As per the BACP guidelines, I continue to enhance my knowledge and training and attend regular supervision to support my work. I also adhere to the BACP ethical code and GDPR legislation.
Most importantly I offer people the opportunity to experience a non-judgemental, confidential and safe environment to explore things that may feel hard to navigate alone.
