What to expect
Why people from Woodingdean choose to work with me
Led by you
We go at your pace. You decide how much to share and when, and the sessions stop when you've arrived where you want to be.
Easy to reach
The room is in central Hove, close to Woodingdean with good bus and rail links and parking nearby.
A free first call
We start with a free fifteen-minute consultation, no obligation, so you can see if I'm the right fit before anything begins.
Integrative and flexible
I draw on whatever genuinely helps you, from Human Givens and IFS to solution-focused and relational work.
How I work
Whether we meet in the room or on screen, the approach is the same. My approach is integrative and person-centred. We are not looking for someone to blame, but at the system the two of you create together and where it gets stuck, drawing on relational therapy, Internal Family Systems and Human Givens approaches.
Life in Woodingdean brings its own pressures, and reaching out is a real step. Whether Woodingdean Park, the Downs and nearby Castle Hill are part of your everyday or you simply pass through, you are welcome here.

Start the conversationFinding support in Woodingdean
My counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. For free NHS talking therapy in Woodingdean, 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.
