"Helping you to lead the life you want."

About Me

I am an Accredited Professional Psychotherapist based in Brighton, East Sussex, UK. I offer counseling for anxiety and relationship issues. I provide confidential, down-to-earth sessions that teach practical skills you can use each day.

Approach

My work focuses on practical steps that make choices feel less overwhelming and help you notice what matters day to day. In relaxed, confidential sessions in Brighton or online in English, we set a steady pace—short-term skill-building alongside gentle exploration of past wounds so anxiety and relationship patterns become clearer. I offer focused tools to try between meetings, simple experiments that build confidence and safety. People who want down-to-earth, collaborative support often find this approach useful.

Basic Information

Services


Do you sometimes feel that life is an endless cycle of anxiety, stress or overwhelm? That getting motivated about your day is a struggle? Perhaps you’re visiting this page because you’d like to see if counselling would be of benefit to you or how therapy might help. Speaking with a mental health professional in a confidential space can help you navigate through any feelings of concern and begin to understand your mental wellbeing, relationships, behaviour patterns, beliefs or somatic responses on a much deeper level. Therapy facilitates a sense of genuinely relating with others and connecting with all aspects of yourself so you can be more present in your life.

I work with you in co-creating a therapeutic relationship that provides the right conditions for crafting growth and change. Side-effects of therapy may involve you finding your voice, understanding what your authentic self is trying to communicate or learning where and how to create healthy boundaries in relationships or at work.
