About

How I see psychotherapy

Psychotherapy offers clients a confidential space to step aside from everyday life where we explore the difficulties you struggle with with curiosity and compassion. 

​

Through this process, we begin to understand your emotional reactions and behavioural patterns - such as feeling angry, frustrated, scared, withdrawing or self-criticising - while you begin to build a new self-awareness.  

If your concern is a challenging life transition or a recent loss we'll come to a new way of understanding that serves you better. 

 

These new ways of seeing and responding to previously difficult issues or relationships will enable you to live more fully and freely.

Latest psychotherapy blog:
How early relational patterns dictate our adult relationships

My latest blog explores how relational patterns learned in our first years of life can powerfully influence our adult relationships and yet be hidden from us.

Issue specialisms

I work with a wide range of issues in my counselling and psychotherapy practice in Brighton, Hove and Lewes.  Issues include anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, men's issues and bereavement.  Here is further information about some of the more common issues: ​

Relationship issues

Loss & bereavement

Depression

Men's issues

Free phone consultation

The first step is for us to have a chat.  I offer a 30 minute free phone consultation where we'll discuss what issues bring you to psychotherapy, I can answer any questions you may have and you'll get a sense if working with me feels right.  We'll then discuss possible options moving forwards.

​

Practice locations

I work in two locations: Mondays I work in the Lewes practice, and on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday I work from the Hove practice.  I also work online.
