About me
I am an experienced and fully qualified Person-Centred and Experiential counsellor. From my private practice in Hailsham, East Sussex, I provide an authentic, warm, non-judgmental and confidential space for you to explore what has brought you to counselling. By building a trusting and supportive relationship, our time will enable your own personal exploration and discovery for future healing, empowerment, and growth.
With experience in working with adults, children and young people, I offer a range of help including:
- Abuse
- Ill health
- Addiction
- Mental health and wellbeing
- Anxiety
- Loss
- Bereavement
- Relationships
- Depression
- Trauma
'The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination.' Carl Rogers





Experience
Alongside my private practice, I am a qualified Mental Health First Aider for MHFA England. I previously worked as a bereavement counsellor at St. Wilfrid’s Hospice in Eastbourne, working with adults in the bereavement team, and supporting children and young people with bereavement in the Seahorse Project. I formerly volunteered for the Samaritans.
Service Excellence
I engage in regular supervision to maintain professional standards and I am committed to Continuous Personal Development to progress and build my experience. I have full personal liability insurance and hold an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check (DBS), and registered and compliant with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
Registration and Membership
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and work within their ethical guidelines and framework. www.bacp.co.uk/ethicalframework.
