Counselling and therapy for individuals and couples in Brighton & Hove
I offer in person counselling in the Brighton & Hove area in a calm, supportive space where you can talk openly without judgement or pressure.
My approach is warm, grounded and collaborative, and I work with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, panic attacks, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties.
I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and I offer face-to-face appointments in a safe, private and comfortable therapy room in Hove or Brighton
Speak in Confidence
Counselling is a process where you can speak in confidence to a professional therapist in a safe, non-judgemental space where you will be heard and understood.
There’s no pressure to share more than you feel comfortable with and there’s no “right” way to do therapy. It is simply a space for honest and open conversation where you can slow down, reflect and begin to understand yourself more clearly.
Would counselling be right for me?
Perhaps you are feeling anxious, overwhelmed or unable to switch off your thoughts. Maybe you are experiencing low mood, hopelessness or despair. You might be struggling with low self esteem, relationship difficulties or difficult memories from your past.
Whatever you're feeling, counselling offers a safe, supportive space where we can gently uncover what’s going on underneath these painful feelings so that you can begin to feel lighter, stronger and more like yourself again.
How can I find the right therapist?
Starting therapy can feel daunting, especially if it’s your first experience of counselling. So It’s completely okay if you’re unsure whether therapy is right for you, or if you don’t know where to begin.
As a first step please click here to send me a message so that we can arrange a free, no obligation 20-minute telephone consultation where we can explore what’s bringing you to therapy, what support you’re looking for, and whether i sound like I might be the right fit for you.

Get in touch
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about how counselling works, or to arrange an initial assessment appointment. This enables us to discuss the reasons you are thinking of coming to counselling, whether it could be helpful for you and whether I am the right therapist to help.
You can also call me on 07540 270 994 if you would prefer to leave a message or speak to me first. I am happy to discuss any queries or questions you may have prior to arranging an initial appointment.
All enquires are usually answered within 24 hours, and all contact is strictly confidential and uses secure phone and email services.
Frequently asked questions
This depends entirely on what you want and need. In our first session together we can find out more about what's going on for you and what your expectations and goals are. Some clients want and need longer term therapy, and other clients need only 6-12 sessions. Either way you are in control and there is no obligation to stay longer than you want to.
We would meet each week at a safe and confidential therapy room in Hove.
Consistency and momentum are very important in therapy so it's important that we meet each week except for planned holidays and sickness. However if you need to cancel individual sessions outside of that then you can do so with 48 hours notice. If at any time you would like to stop therapy completely then you can do so with a minimum of one weeks notice, but it's a good idea to avoid stopping therapy suddenly or abruptly if possible so that we can work towards a planned ending.
