Practice description

I am currently in my fifth year of private practice, after completing my undergraduate degree in psychology at the University of Chichester followed by a postgraduate diploma in psychodynamic psychotherapeutic counselling from the University of Brighton.

My practice as a trained counsellor is supported by my background working across a diverse range of mental health and caring environments, and I am a trans ally.

Through the NHS, charitable, and private healthcare and education sectors, I am experienced in working with children and adults. I have supported people who are living with autism, ADHD/ADD, traumatic brain injuries, psychosis, stress, loss, depression, and anxiety - and provided a safe space to sit with feelings of being angry, upset, stuck, or confused.

I am a registered member of the BACP, with my practice underpinned by professional ethics, ongoing supervision, and continual professional development. I also hold clean, enhanced DBS certification for working with children and adults and am subscribed to the DBS Update Service which ensures that this is continually up to date.

I work to the practice of weekly 50-minute sessions, held on the same day and at the same time each week. I believe that the reliability and consistency that comes with having regular sessions in this way is an important part of the therapeutic process.

There is no set number of counselling sessions, instead they take the form of an ongoing arrangement. Whilst the counselling I practice is open-ended and can often span a year or more, short terms of six months or fewer are also effective.

The fee for each counselling session is £50, whilst I also hold a limited number of concessionary spaces for those who are seeking this, where the fee for each counselling session is £30.

And you can be at home, in the office, on a lunch break, at college, walking, in the car (parked!) - just as long as it's safe and confidential, you and I can do our best to find a way to make sure your sessions happen.
