I draw on whatever genuinely helps you, from Human Givens and IFS to solution-focused and relational work.
Confidential by training

Rooted in the area

How I work
Here's how the work itself tends to unfold. I take a solution-focused, practical approach that works on the problems actually affecting your day-to-day life. We cover simple, deliberate exercises that help calm your nervous system and respond differently when anxiety shows up.
There's no waiting room and no rush. From Kemp Town, the first contact can be as small as a phone call, and from there we go at whatever pace feels safe.
You can read more about anxiety counselling and about my methods, sessions and fees. There is no obligation: we begin with a free fifteen minute call to see whether we are the right fit.
Start the conversationFinding support in Kemp Town
My counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. For free NHS talking therapy in Kemp Town, you can refer yourself directly to the Brighton and Hove Wellbeing Service, with no GP referral needed. You can also find your nearest service through the NHS Talking Therapies finder.
Seeing me privately usually means you can start sooner, stay with the same counsellor throughout, and work at greater depth and pace; the two can run side by side, and I'm glad to work alongside any NHS or GP support you already have. If you are waiting for NHS therapy, beginning privately can be a way to make a start now rather than putting things off, and we can always work in whatever way fits best alongside what is already in place.
If you need urgent help now
This practice is not a crisis service. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 999.
For urgent mental health support, call NHS 111 and choose the mental health option. The Samaritans are free, day or night, on 116 123, or text SHOUT to 85258.
