Individuals, Couples and Relationships
Based in Steyning, West Sussex
Whether you are an individual adult, young person or part of a relationship that is struggling, looking for a counsellor can be a daunting process.
Whatever your age or starting point counselling can provide a confidential and supportive professional relationship from within which you can make sense of what's going on, develop new skills and move forward.
You may be here because you have hit a point where you realise that you have been trying to cope alone for some time with problems such as depression, anxiety, stress, relationship breakdown or gender identity. You might want to look at a specific recurring problem or have a much more generalised sense of dissatisfaction with your life.
Gaining awareness of how difficulties and sticking points can develop and repeat in life provides us with the option to make more considered and informed choices. As an outcome you can learn to recognise when your basic needs are being compromised, explore healthy self expression, gain some control and also find the courage to make change if that is the best course of action for you.

Integrative Therapy & Counselling My approach to counselling is integrative which means that it is drawn from a broad range of theories and approaches to help understand and respond to your individual needs, it is an adaptable model because I believe that there can be no 'one size fits all'. I have extensively studied and made use of person centred, psychodynamic, existential and attachment theories so that how we work together can be determined by your unique circumstances.
