Do you struggle with anxiety or depression? Are you trying to cope with family problems or relationship challenges? Has the loss of a loved one left you overwhelmed with grief? Or are you seeking personal understanding and growth?Life can be tough sometimes, with many different challenges, and I understand how difficult that can be.

As a single mother dealing with mental health issues within the family, I have faced trauma and difficult times but, along with a lengthy career as a Human Resources Manager, this has given me a great insight into human nature and behaviour, along with a passion for helping others navigate their own issues on their way to a happier and more fulfilled life.

My counselling philosopy is rooted in creating a safe and nurturing space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings and experiences. I strongly believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and I am dedicated to working collaboratively with you to help you navigate life's challenges, overcome emotional obstacles and embrace positive change.

With a Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling I bring a blend of professional expertise and personal understanding and empathy to my counselling practice. My training has been centered on the model of Transactional Analysis which provides a framework to help us understand our behaviours and personality, and how that affects our relationships and communication

Particular experience/training in:

  • Bereavement & Loss - adults & children

  • Adolescent mental health issues

  • Weight issues

  • Borderline Personality Disorder

  • Working with shame

I can provide counselling face to face (depending on your location - I am based in Steyning, West Sussex), via Zoom or telephone.My rates are £50 per session or £55 if counselling is provided after 7pm.

The willow tree gives us hope, a sense of belonging, and safety. The ability to let go of pain and suffering, to grow anew, strong and bold. The image of the willow tree is our path to stability, hope and healing
