I am an experienced person-centred psychotherapeutic counsellor in private practice, providing long and short-term therapy. As well as working with private clients, I work with referral clients through the NHS, Victim Support, Momentum Children’s Charity, and local councils. A Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), my therapeutic work aligns with the strict ethical and confidentiality code set out in the BACP Ethical Framework.

Member British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP)
I am actively engaged in continued professional development.
I offer a person-centred psychotherapeutic approach, in a safe, non-judgmental space where any issues can be explored in complete confidentiality. Through exploring problems together, I will help you to discover a deeper understanding of yourself; to help you grow and conquer issues that may previously have been experienced as all-consuming or overwhelming. We will look at your problems in the present and identify the roots of these problems from your past, exploring here and now possibilities for coping with and for improving your life.
The free, initial 30 minute phone consultation is a space for planning a way forward, establishing the frequency of sessions, discussing expectations about the length and outcome of therapy, booking an appointment and considering, when necessary, possible referrals to other professionals.
We will normally meet at the same time every week. Other time scales can be agreed on.
The weekly session fee is £50 for 50 minutes. Where other timescales have been agreed, the session fee will vary.
I practice from a conveniently located therapy room in Bognor Regis. Offering off-road parking and toilet facilities.
My practice is walking distance from the local train and bus stations with nearby bus stops for added convenience.
If, for whatever reason, you would rather not visit the therapy room, I offer online and telephone therapy which can be blended with face to face meetings and walk & talk therapy.
