ÌÇÐĹÙÍø

Hello.

I'm a qualified and ÌÇÐĹÙÍø Registered, Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counsellor. I offer psychotherapeutic counselling for individual adults, in a safe, professional and confidential space. In-person therapy is via my private practice in Horsham. Online video and telephone sessions are available via multiple platforms.

You might be looking into counselling because a specific issue is causing distress, pain or suffering. Alternatively, maybe it’s a more general discontent, confusion or conflict you’re facing. A sense that ‘something’s off’ or that ‘life feels out of control’. Perhaps it’s a deeper understanding and awareness you want; that of yourself, your relating with others, as well as the world around you. Whatever you bring, I strive to offer an accepting and supportive environment where the pace and depth in which we work is fundamentally of your choosing and invitational.

What else to expect -

I’ll pay close attention to what you might need from our sessions, doing my utmost to ‘walk alongside you’ in understanding, exploration and support. Acknowledging with regard and respect your experiences, thoughts, feelings and memories. Those of your present, as well as the past. Attentive and responsive to such, as well as the relating taking place between us. Inviting the ‘whole of your experience’, we might explore possibilities and potentialities by way of a deepening awareness, fuller experiencing, sense and meaning-making.

Whether seeking support and relief, personal growth and self-exploration, meaningful change or simply a ‘space to talk’, I invite you to reach out. I believe the Psychotherapeutic Relationship is collaborative. A relationship that facilitates and nurtures our meeting and connecting. Supporting us to develop ways of working together that further your life in the direction you wish.

Once agreed, our sessions each week will take place in the same location, my private practice - 1 Market Square, Horsham, RH12 1EU.

Parking is easy, with on street, car park and supermarket parking close by. Both Horsham bus station and Horsham train station are within a 5-10 minute walk. 

Horsham is conveniently located in West Sussex and is close to Crawley, Haywards Heath, Pulborough and Dorking. Parts of coastal West Sussex, such as Worthing, are also within a 30 minute radius when travelling by car. 

For online counselling, sessions are via Google Meet or Skype. FaceTime and WhatsApp video calling can also be made available if required.
