A Space for Real Change
I offer a calm, supportive space where you can talk openly and explore what is troubling you. I work with individuals and couples, either face-to-face in my peaceful therapy room near Kirdford (between Billingshurst and Petworth) or online.
With 20 years’ experience as a holistic therapist before training as a counsellor, I bring an integrative and flexible approach, drawing on a wide range of methods to suit your needs. I’m accredited with both BACP and NCPS and continue to develop my practice through ongoing training.
I often work with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and the impact of challenging childhood experiences. Together we can explore patterns, understand how past and present connect, and gently move towards clearer understanding and positive change.
Working Together
Therapy with me is a collaborative process. I don’t offer advice or quick fixes, but I will walk alongside you as you gain insight, emotional clarity, and practical tools for change. My integrative training (Petruska Clarkson model) allows me to tailor each session to your needs, drawing on a wide range of therapeutic methods.
I offer both short-term and long-term counselling for individuals and couples. Sessions are usually weekly but can be adapted to suit your schedule. I offer both face-to-face and online sessions.
Everyone is different, and while most people start with regular weekly sessions, I also offer single Session Therapy (90 minutes – focused support for one key issue) and life coaching.
Whatever you’re thinking, please do get in contact. We can talk through how therapy can best work for you.
