As an integrative therapist, I adapt my approach and skills to suit the client. People come to therapy feeling anxious, low, distressed, or just needing someone to talk things through with. I aim to meet you with compassion and non-judgement whatever is troubling you, and accompany you as we work towards change. Sometimes issues are rooted in early life experiences and unconscious beliefs; over time we can gently explore these patterns to find better ways of relating to ourselves and others. Sometimes it is more the present situation which needs to be addressed; we might work, for example, by understanding the nature of the challenge and learning new skills. I take a holistic view of a person - so mind, body, spirit - but also how a person fits into the systems and world around them.
I offer talking therapy and also (if wanted) exploration via art/creativity. I believe that we can all access inner resources which support healing, and that the presence, empathy and understanding of another can be a catalyst for this alchemical process.
I have worked with bereavement, separation, illness, early life isssues, traumatic histories, lack of confidence, neurodivergence. My practice has included clients from 18 to 80-something. I'm interested in the stages of life we go through as we age and the different challenges and opportunities these bring. Students/trainees welcome.
We would meet for an inital session so that you can get a sense of whether you'd like to work with me. I offer a free initial phonecall, if this would be helpful.
I'm an experienced integrative transpersonal psychotherapist working with adults of all ages. I see clients in person in Haywards Heath, and also offer therapy online/by phone.
I have a Post-graduate Diploma in Psychotherapy from CCPE (London) and also a Research Masters in Transpersonal Psychotherapy. I have always been interested in psychology and healing; I balance this by carrying out practical activities such as gardening and conservation work. Prior to training as a therapist, I worked in business services.
