Learn more about me

An adaptable, non-judgemental space to be properly heard.

I offer an inclusive, empathic and open-minded environment for clients to express their ideas, thoughts and feelings — warm, calm and entirely confidential.

As my client, you sit at the centre of the work. That's why I practise integratively, drawing on CBT, person-centred, psychodynamic, Transactional Analysis and mindfulness approaches — and shaping each session around what actually helps you.

We'll start with a free initial meeting of up to 20 minutes to talk about what's on your mind — whether that's identity, anxiety, loss, burnout, depression, neurodivergence, or trauma — and decide together whether structure or a more fluid process suits you best.

I work from modern, comfortable rooms in Hove, Haywards Heath and Lewes.

Therapy isn't one size fits all. Yours shouldn't be either.

CBTProviding you with strategies, techniques and reframing of unhelpful thoughts
Person-centredA gentle pace and exploration to discover your inner wisdom
PsychodynamicAwareness of unconscious present patterns which originate from childhood
Transactional AnalysisUnderstanding the roles and scripts that shape how you relate to others
MindfulnessGrounding through meditation practice

These aren't separate tracks — they're tools I draw on flexibly, session to session, depending on what you need that day.

Isn't it odd — we can only see our outsides, but nearly everything happens on the inside.
