My Approach

I work primarily from a psychodynamic perspective, which means that my belief is that our early life experiences can shape us as adults. I work from an empathic and non-judgmental position, as I believe the relationship between the therapist and client to be of utmost importance to the process of therapy.

The aim of our sessions is to collaboratively investigate how past experiences may be having an impact on your current life. We will consider patterns that may have arisen through your life and explore unconscious processes and defence mechanisms that may be contributing to your current difficulties. I aim to support you in creating a deeper understanding of yourself, which can lead to improvements in your relationships with others and with yourself, better self-esteem and emotional well-being, and healthier boundaries in your personal and working life.

I also work from an Integrative therapeutic perspective, bringing in the humanistic approach and elements of CBT if desired.

About Me

I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist working both online and in-person in Brighton and Hove, and in Worthing. I hold either open ended or time-limited sessions depending on your preference.

I work with a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, self-esteem problems, eating disorders, bereavement, interpersonal issues, and more.

I have experience of working with clients on the autistic spectrum, as well as clients who have questions regarding ADHD or have been recently diagnosed. I also have experience of working with clients exploring their sexuality and/or gender identity.

Getting started with therapy can be a daunting prospect but I aim to make this process more comfortable for you by offering a safe, non-judgmental therapy space from which we can explore the issues you are experiencing.

I firmly believe in the importance of choosing the right therapist for you. Therefore, I offer a free 30 minute online or telephone consultation for us to get to know one another, and for me to answer any questions you may have.

My work in mental health began after an undergraduate in psychology and counselling, which offered me graduate membership to the British Psychological Society. I worked in psychology research before moving into mental health within an educational setting. After three years, I went on to complete a PGDip in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling in 2015, which allowed me to build therapeutic skills in CBT and humanistic therapy.

I later completed a PGDip in Psychodynamic Psychotherapeutic Counselling, as well as an MSc in Psychotherapy.
