Hi, Thanks for checking me out. I realise that taking the first step can seem daunting.I have been a practicing counsellor/therapist for over 20 years, the last 6 years in Brighton and Hove.Previously I was working in inner London in a multicultural practice, alongside working ( NOT IAPT) in a large health centre with GPs and mental health nurses.My professional journey has led me to some specialist interests, including Addiction and recovery Post traumatic stress disorder, Panic attacks Early trauma, Bereavement Mood and personality disordersAlongside with the more general anxiety, relationship, and work-related problems.I have worked with a wide variety of clients, people from overseas, ex-service families, carers, and refugees.I have a room at South Coast Counselling 198 Church Road Hove.I can work with fortnightly sessions if needs must.I am willing to negotiate fee reductions if appropriate. I already offer reduced fees to people who work in the public sector.[*Confidentiality is of course particularly important. However, there are legal caveats which I will have to make clear. If in our work I fear that there is a serious risk of harm to self or to others, including harm to children, I am required legally to break our contract and inform the relevant authorities. I am also obliged to report extremist views and terrorist activity.]
