About me

I am a UKCP accredited Humanistic Psychotherapist practising in Brighton and Hove.
?
A fully insured, registered member of the British Association of Counsellors (BACP) and an accredited member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) which are the largest professional registering bodies for counsellors and psychotherapists. I adhere to their code of conduct and abide by their ethical framework.

In addition to my private practice, I have worked at the Help Service which is a counselling service offered exclusively to NHS staff at The Royal Sussex County Hospital Brighton and the surrounding areas.
?
I have also worked at Change, Grow, Live (CGL) providing counselling to service users who are striving to manage/reduce their drug or alcohol addiction.
?
In accordance with the BACP guidelines, I am committed to continuous professional development through training courses, workshops, relevant updated reading, personal therapy and supervision.

I believe we have within ourselves all the necessary resources and knowledge to live a full and meaningful life. Psychotherapy can provide the necessary conditions to re-establish that potential. My work is firmly grounded in the Humanistic tradition of believing that you are the expert of your own lived experience. My role is to enquire, respectfully challenge and understand that perspective, which in turn can help to unearth your inner knowledge and empower you in your everyday life.
?
The therapeutic relationship offers an exploratory safe space where you are free to express yourself in a focused, supportive and nurturing environment. It is different from any other relationship you may be involved in, such as family members, friends, work colleagues or partners. To be accepted without precondition or expectation is a rare and remarkable kind of relationship.
