Why people from Peacehaven choose to work with me
The whole picture
We look beyond the symptom to what's underneath, because lasting change comes from the root, not the surface.

In person or online
Meet me face to face near Peacehaven, or by secure video, and mix the two however suits your week.
Lived experience
I've known anxiety, depression, addiction and trauma myself, so I understand them from the inside, not just the textbook.
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.
Reaching out from Peacehaven takes something, and I don't take that lightly. I try to make the first step as easy and unpressured as it can possibly be.

Start the conversationFinding support in Peacehaven
My counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. For free NHS talking therapy in Peacehaven, you can refer yourself directly to Health in Mind, the East Sussex NHS Talking Therapies 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.
