I am a BACP registered therapist working in Brighton. I offer long and short term work, face to face, and also offer online sessions if you are unable to attend in person. I work relationally, meaning therapy is a collaborative process shaped by the relationship we build together. I don't see therapy as being about "fixing" you or applying a technique. Instead, I see it as a conversation and relationship through which we can make sense of your experiences, understand recurring patterns, and discover new ways of relating to yourself and others.

I work with a wide range of issues, with particular experience in bereavement, grief and loss in all its forms. I have a particular interest in adoption and the lifelong impact it can have on identity, belonging and relationships. I am fully certified by the Albany Centre to provide adoption counselling and have many years' experience working with Cruse, supporting people through bereavement and complex grief.

I also offer couple/relationship therapy having completed specialist training gaining a professional Certificate in Couple/Relationship Therapy accredited by COSRT at Level 5.

My background is in gardening and bodywork - both need time, space, and the right kind of pressure to change. Therapy is much the same - noticing both what is spoken and what is felt, doing a bit of digging - sometimes getting a bit messy - and letting something new take shape. If anything here resonates and you'd like to explore whether working together might feel right, you're welcome to get in touch.
