Anxiety & Stress
Anxiety is one of the most common reasons that people give when they are looking for therapy.
Anxiety and stress can affect every part of life – your thoughts, sleep, relationships, confidence and ability to feel present day to day. You might find yourself constantly overthinking, feeling overwhelmed, struggling to relax, or noticing physical symptoms such as tension, exhaustion, racing thoughts or panic. Sometimes there’s a clear cause, at other times it can seem to come from nowhere.
You may be reading this feeling like you are holding it together on the outside, but internally feel exhausted, disconnected or constantly on edge. You may no longer be able to cope in the ways you once could.
Therapy offers a supportive and non-judgemental place where we can explore together what may be contributing to your anxiety and stress. It’s an opportunity to better understand yourself, recognise patterns and reconnect with your inner resources and strengths. Over time therapy may help you feel calmer, more grounded and more able to manage life in a way that feels healthier and more sustainable.
About Me
My own experiences of loss and grief, and the transitions that come with different stages of life have given me a deep appreciation of how difficult it can be to navigate through change.
These experiences have shaped how I work. As a Person Centred counsellor I don’t see my role as fixing or diagnosing, but rather as providing the kind of relationship where you can talk openly, and feel genuinely heard and understood. I know from both personal and professional experience how transformative that can be.
Outside of the counselling room, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, and walks on the beach with my dog – I love living by the sea in all seasons. In my spare time I also volunteer as a counsellor at a local low cost counselling service.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are a few FAQs – if there’s anything more you’d like to know, or something isn’t covered here, please get in touch.
What issues do you work with?
I work with adults experiencing a range of difficulties, including anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and loss, and relationship problems. Some people come with a clear reason for seeking counselling, while others have a general sense of feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or not quite themselves. You don’t need to have everything worked out before starting.
What is counselling like?
Counselling offers time to talk openly about what’s going on for you, without pressure to have the right words or answers. In our sessions I’ll be honest and open and may sometimes challenge, but I won’t assume I know what’s best or tell you what to do. We’ll work together to make sense and find a way forward, at a pace that feels manageable for you.
How long does counselling last?
Sessions last 50 minutes, and how many sessions people have varies from person to person. Some come for short-term counselling to focus on a specific issue, while others choose to work longer term. We can review this together and adapt as your needs change.
How do I know if you’re the right counsellor for me?
Finding the right counsellor is important as the relationship between counsellor and client is arguably the most important part of therapy. I offer a free initial consultation so you can talk about what’s bringing you to counselling, ask any questions, and get a sense of whether working together feels right. There’s no obligation to continue.
What happens in the initial consultation?
The initial consultation is an informal conversation where we talk about what you’re looking for from counselling and what support might be helpful. It’s also a chance for you to decide whether you feel comfortable working with me.
Is counselling confidential?
Yes. Counselling is confidential, and your privacy is taken seriously. There are a few legal and ethical exceptions to confidentiality, which I will explain clearly during our first conversation.
How much do sessions cost?
Session cost £60 and I have a limited number of spaces allocated at a lower cost to make therapy more affordable. Availability can be discussed during the initial consultation. You’re also welcome to get in touch if you’d like this information before arranging a call.
How do I get started?
If you’re looking for counselling in Brighton & Hove and feel I might be a good fit, you can contact me to arrange a free initial consultation. From there, we can decide together on the next steps.
