I am an experienced, qualified and accredited counsellor / psychotherapist with over 16 years experience of working with individuals, couples and groups. I specialise in relationship issues, separation, loss, bereavement, divorce, anxiety, depression, sexual identity, sexuality, sexual orientation, and work related stress.I hold a Master's Degree in Counselling & Psychotherapy, a Prof. Dip. in Therapeutic Counselling, EMDR Certificate, MA in English and BA Languages.Do you feel like you are repeating the same experience and getting the same unsatisfactory result?Do you find you are reacting to people or situations in a way that is not helping you?Do you feel stressed and overwhelmed?Counselling or psychotherapy doesn’t have to be a last resort attempt at making sense of what is happening in your life, it can also be a great tool for personal development.Being in therapy with an independent psychotherapist is a very different experience from seeing one assigned to you by the NHS or EAP programme. With your private psychotherapist you decide when to start, which day and time suits you best (subject to availability) and, ultimately, how long your therapy is going to last. Being in therapy is all about you ... without any pressure and in total confidence! I offer a calm and secure space where you can explore and discuss in confidence whatever concerns you might have. My experience: Over 13 years working in private practice, seven years working with people who suffered a traumatic loss, two years in the NHS. Besides my private practice I also co-facilitate the Eastbourne BACP Private Practice Network Meeting group for counsellors and psychotherapists in East Sussex.
