How I work
Here's how the work itself tends to unfold. Rather than analysing every thought endlessly, we focus on what is actually impacting your daily life right now. Our sessions are structured but flexible, using straightforward exercises to help you regain direction and rebuild emotional resilience.
Some clients travel in from Lancing; others find online easier. Either way, what matters isn't the miles but whether we turn out to be the right fit for each other.
You can read more about depression 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 Lancing
My counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. For free NHS talking therapy in Lancing, you can refer yourself directly to NHS West Sussex Talking Therapies, 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.
