Counselling in East Sussex

Whatever is troubling you, therapy can help get you back to feeling like yourself. I work with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and relationship issues and much more. Individuals and couples. Weekly/fortnightly. Free initial chat. Trainees welcome. Whatever the reason you come to therapy, our overall goal is to help you move forward in your life in a way that is true to yourself. Therapy sessions are all unique and will always be bespoke and personal to you.

Sometimes strong emotions such as anger, sadness and anxiety can leave children feeling overwhelmed. This can lead them to become withdrawn, have difficulties at school and in friendships, or show their feelings in behaviours which are unhelpful. Psychotherapy can help your child to put their feelings into words and help them to express themselves in a different way. They will have access to a confidential space in which they can explore what is causing their distress and, by understanding themselves better, they can have better relationships with their family and friends and begin to build their confidence.

During mid-life, changes to our outside world (home, family, work etc) seem to collide with changes in our inside world (mind and body). Feeling lost or crave space to reconnect with yourself and figure out your next steps? Excited and energised by the possibilities that lie ahead but don’t know where to start?  Feeling anxious and unsettled and want to learn how to relax into this new chapter? Longing to reinvent yourself and make some big changes? Struggling with symptoms of peri/menopause and considering therapy to augment or as an alternative to HRT? If any of this resonates with you, read on - You are not alone.

Together, we can help you to improve your mental health, find personal healing, develop your ability to cope with challenges, or simply to further your personal development. I provide a confidential space in which we can explore your current circumstances, relational challenges and painful past experiences. The aim of the work will be chosen by you and supported by me with warmth and empathy.

Hello and welcome to my personal page. I understand that, at times, life can be tough. We can all feel overwhelmed, anxious or depressed. Life events or circumstances may have caused you to feel lost, sad, frightened, angry or panicky. You may be having negative thoughts. Are you experiencing work-related stress, medical/health issues or having difficulty with communication or relationships? Do you think you may have dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD or possibly autism/Asperger's? Everyone's story and reason for seeking therapy is different and it can take courage to ask for help.

I specialise in providing evidence-based talking therapies for adults and older adults experiencing depression (low mood), anxiety, and stress. Having worked in mental health for over 8 years, I have experience providing therapy to people of all ages with varying levels of need. I provide structured talking therapies, with my approach particularly focussing on helping you understand why you feel the way you do, and how you can better manage the emotions you experience. I aim to do this in a safe and informal environment, providing a confidential space for you to discuss your wellbeing in a guided, structured way.

Our lives are a complex mix of emotions about our relationships, both personal and social, work and other daily stresses, which are impacted by life events such as bereavement and loss, traumatic experiences, relationship breakdown. The emotional fallout from these can be stressful, confusiong and sometimes overwhelming, resulting in feeling rejected, anxious, or lacking energy and purpose. How often do we allow ourselves, or have the opportunity to talk openly about what's going on for us, with someone who will genuinely listen, without offering judgement or their own experiences?

You are probably struggling with something in your life which you have been unable to resolve yourself. This may be a relationship or sexual problem, anger issues, family problems, anxiety/depression or maybe just a feeling that something is missing in your life. You may have found that you haven't been able to come up with a solution and that talking to family or friends feels like you're burdening them or it is hard to get an objective perspective. Instead of feeling like you're going round in circles and repeating the same mistakes, you'd like to feel more free and empowered.

Do you feel ripped apart and shaken to your core? You don't want to be a burden to friends and can't talk to family, it is all so overwhelming. The deepest pit of despair and hurt, mixed emotions, anguish, anger, confusion, barely coping with intense non-stop life changes. Loss of family, partner or treasured friends, sudden or chronic terminal illness, loss of the person you used to be, ageing, guilty lifestyle, fear of a new job and moving, or the prickling heartache from loss of your pet. You don’t even have the strength to take the next step, to pull yourself through while trying to reach your old self. You need a safe space.

It is important that you always feel in control of your process and that it is meaningful and beneficial to you. This includes consideration and respect for your culture, religion, sexual and self-identity. An essential element of this will be the relationship you are able to build with your therapist. My therapeutic approach is collaborative and aims to empower you with the self-awareness, knowledge and skills to make the decisions and changes that are important and useful to you. I will offer a non-judgmental and supportive space for you to explore your past, present and plan your future.
