Therapy in
Brighton and Hove

My clients come to me when facing a range of different challenges.

Some are feeling particularly overwhelmed, angry, anxious or depressed right now – they want to find ways to cope more effectively in their day-to-day, and process what’s causing their difficult feelings.

Others are trying to come to terms with painful events that they have experienced: bereavement or relationship breakdown, trauma, loss or abuse.

Our work together is often about trying to integrate all that has happened, and find our way to a place of greater balance and wellbeing.

As an integrative therapist, I draw on a range of psychotherapeutic theories to support you moment-by-moment. I will flex with you and your evolving needs as we work together.

You’ll find elements of the below approaches in much of my work:

• Attachment-based therapy;

• Coaching;

• Existential therapy;

• Gestalt therapy;

• Humanistic therapy;

• Mindfulness;

• Person-centred therapy;

• Psychodynamic therapy;

• Relational therapy;

• Somatic therapy.

Being an integrative therapist means I am able to draw on a wide variety of psychotherapeutic approaches, tailored to you and your evolving needs. 

I’m here to listen to your story and to allow whatever needs to be explored to bubble to the surface organically. This experience of feeling truly heard and understood by another can itself be deeply healing.

Depending on your needs, I may also use mindfulness and the breath to help you slow down, ground yourself and regulate your nervous system. Sometimes, I may invite you to bring particular attention to physical sensations in your body; these feelings (like a fluttering in your chest or tension in your jaw) can often offer us a clue as to what may need our therapeutic attention. And, if you’re feeling particularly stuck, I might invite you to experiment with a different way of being in the room: to say something in a way you never have, or exaggerate a gesture you’re already making.

This can be difficult work, but it can also be transformational, liberating and life-enhancing. Often, we’ll identify experiences and practices that build your emotional strength, resilience and wellbeing outside of the room to support you. 

Whatever it is that you're facing, I am here to be alongside you for as many sessions as you need as we make sense of your world together. I look forward to going on this journey with you.

The first step is to set up a short initial phone call – this is a zero-obligation opportunity for you to ask any questions, to share what brings you to therapy, and to see if working together feels right for you. You can book this call here.
