Therapeutic Counselling

“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change”

Carl Rogers,

Founder of the Person Centred approach

About me

I am a BACP registered counsellor offering Person-centred counselling.

Based in Southwick in West Sussex, I offer face to face, online and telephone appointments.

My non directive approach, as a person centred counsellor encourages a collaborative relationship that is led by you, the client. 

I hope to offer a warm and safe environment, providing a space where you can focus on what matters to you.

Person Centred Counsellor

What I offer as a person centred counsellor.


I believe that every person has the ability to grow and change in a positive direction, to enhance their experience.

The therapeutic relationship encourages growth, by offering a space in which a person can explore their experiences with another to gain a better understanding of themselves.

With this understanding, often comes acceptance and with it a greater trust in Self.

I have seen in my personal and professional experience, how someone with a greater trust in Self, may feel more empowered to make changes.

There is no right way for you to be in our sessions. I will be present to witness the difficulties you may be facing and the uncomfortable emotions you may be feeling, so that we can better understand them together.
