Counselling — Beyond Survival

As a psychotherapeutic counsellor, supervisor and Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, I am client led and trauma-informed in my approach. I work from a place of wholeness, always assuming that, as long as you are breathing, there is more right with you than wrong with you. I work consciously with clients from a variety of background and life experiences. I am committed to uncovering the ways in which culturally embedded power dynamics show up within me. I am gender, sexuality and relationship diversity affirmative.

Where a client wishes I integrate techniques from Somatic Experiencing® into the sessions. See my Somatic Experiencing® page for more information.

For me, the relationship is key, and an initial session would be a chance for us to feel whether I’m the right person for you. I love the Anne Lamott quote: ‘My mind is a bad neighbourhood that I try not to go into alone’. I don’t have all the answers, but I can be by your side as you visit some difficult places. And who knows, maybe some unexpected and joyful places too.

I am a graduate of Headstrong’s Anti-Oppressive Supervision training programme and warmly welcome enquiries from therapists seeking fortnightly or monthly supervision. I also welcome equiries from organisations seeking group supervision.

I see clients and supervisees at The Practice Rooms in central Brighton on Mondays and in a comfortable practice room near Lewes train station on Thursdays
