​​I offer counselling / personal therapy for adults, comprising of 50-minute one-to-one sessions. I have a peaceful workspace in Lewes or can meet online. 

​

** I am training to become an Integrative Therapist.

I will be offering dates once qualified. To be added to the waitlist or to have an initial phone call to discuss your needs, please feel free to contact me**

​

Do you feel a lot of anxiety?

Do you find social situations difficult?

Do you struggle to sleep?

Or perhaps your energy is depleted.

Do you find it hard to cope with life?

Do you have a 'monkey-mind' where it is busy, overwhelmed a lot the time?

Or perhaps you feel numb or maybe even nothing at all. 

​

How you experience the world is not your fault; you don't have to keep living like this.

I offer a space to explore, accept and facilitate personal transformation.​​​​

​

I describe my work as humanistic. This is a client-led approach focused on a person’s capacity for self-discovery, personal growth, and self-actualization. It treats individuals as whole people with the free will to shape their own lives.

I work relationally, meaning I use the real-time connection between client and therapist (you and I) as an important tool to understand how we experience the world, our relationships and ourselves. 

This collaborative partnership allows you to explore interpersonal dynamics safely, heal emotional wounds, and practice healthier ways of connecting with others. Ultimately to seek understanding, freedom of choice and a sense of deep healing.

I use creative activities to help picture, experience and learn about feelings and experiences, even ones we are not aware of consciously, or perhaps have no memory of. 

I am trained in working with Trauma presentations, PTSD, C-PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief and suicide. I weave body awareness (yoga, breath work, meditation) and nervous system training into our work to bring a greater sense of safety and embodiment within self. 

I offer a space to speak the unspeakable, experience the as yet unexperienced, process the unprocessed, giving precious time to start to find space within mind and body. Find meaning, our purpose, our reason for being.

I see therapy as a discovery, to become who we hope to be, perhaps who we already were, we just didn't know it yet.  A chance to let go of what no longer serves us. A practice of increasing capacity to cope with what we cannot change. 

 

Transactional analysis is at the core of my training. The work I offer is creative, dynamic, experiential and tailored to you. 

​

We all have in common that we suffer, yet it is only some of us that invest the time and effort to seek the change within that we seek. ​

Our Nervous System Response​ - Does any of this feel familiar to you?

Fight — moving against threat through anger, control, defence, or confrontation

Flight — moving away from threat through avoidance, anxiety, overworking, or escape

Freeze — becoming stuck, immobilised, shut down, or unable to act

Dissociation — disconnecting from thoughts, emotions, sensations, or surroundings as a protective survival response

Fawn — appeasing or people-pleasing to maintain safety or connection

​​​

I work both face to face, in a peaceful therapy room in Lewes, East Sussex and online.​ I offer a complimentary first 50-minute session before we enter into any agreement, so we can see if we are right for one another.
