I have been practicing since 2009 and have an established clinic in Central Hove. During this time, I’ve been able to help women, men, and couples from a wide variety of backgrounds, with an equally wide range of difficulties related to depression, anxiety, relationship problems, and the effects of abuse. Alongside my own practice, I have taught on a counselling diploma course in Brighton, teaching theory, helping trainees develop their counselling skills, and facilitating personal development groups. I have previously worked as a counsellor with: The Fed Centre for Independent Living, working with clients affected by physical disability, mental health problems, learning disabilities, chronic health conditions, and sensory impairment. Patched, a Brighton-based organisation supporting individuals and families affected by substance misuse. The Foyer, an organisation providing support to young people who have lived unsettled lives.

I’m a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and abide by our Ethical Code of Practice (which you’ll find here).
