Our Services
Short term Counselling
Shorter term counselling can help to process challenging situations, thoughts and feelings. Work collaboratively with me to decide what you most need right now to heal. I am trained to take an integrative approach, being able to apply the theories of person centered, psychodynamic, cognitive and other approaches such as mindfulness/creative work to help you
Long Term Therapy
Longer term therapy, through a strong therapeutic relationship, helps to explore how past relationships and patterns of relating impose upon the present. This includes defence mechanisms, transference and trauma responses
Somatic Trauma Therapy &
Nondual-friendly Therapy
Somatic Trauma Therapy is a safe and effective approach to healing trauma involving management of the nervous system responses, practical techniques to manage symptoms and gentle, timely processing of events. I can also offer therapeutic support for people who are interested and involved in the 'path' of Nonduality
About Me
Hi there, thanks for visiting my site. I am an experienced NHS trained therapist, devoted partner and mother to my young child. I have a background in Human Biology and I hold an MSc in Psychology. I live and work at home, at the foot of the South Downs in West Sussex. I originally trained as an integrative therapist, in Person Centered, Pyschodynamic and Cognitive modalities but I have acquired a wealth of knowledge and experience over the last 5 years in the areas of trauma/somatic trauma therapy, mindfulness, bilateral stimulation and much more.
I have had the honour of working for different charities and services: Rape and Sexual Assault Charity (RASAC, Guildford), Catalyst Drug and Alcohol Service (Surrey), Youth Counselling Service (on behalf of Virgin Care/NHS), Phoenix Project Homelessness project (Worthing) and The Eaves Psychological Therapies Clinic in Guildford.
You'll experience a warm, non-judgemental, steady presence when working with me. I work in a collaborative way with my clients and always strive to establish an authentic, nurturing relationship with my clients in which they feel held, understood and valued.
"The treatment modality is only 15% of the therapy. 85% is the relationship you develop together" ~ Peter Levine
