Welcome
I am an experienced counsellor and cognitive behaviour (CBT) psychotherapist offering short- and longer-term therapy in the Brighton and Hove area. I also offer mindfulness facilitation, training and supervision.
Counselling and CBT
Counselling and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) are therapies that effectively address a wide range of human problems, concerns and interests. You may be seeking help or support for a specific difficulty, or you may be interested in personal development or broader life issues. Being both a counsellor and a cognitive behaviour (CBT) therapist means I can be flexible in my approach and tailor my work to suit your needs.
Since 2007, I have worked with many people to address a wide range of issues relating to mental health and psychological wellbeing. In that time, I have worked in public, private and third sectors, including as a staff therapist for: Brighton and Hove NHS Primary Care Counselling Service; Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (Talking Therapies / IAPT); the Priory Hospital (Brighton & Hove); Aurora CBT (Sussex). Additionally, I have worked as an associate therapist for several local therapy centres.
Mindfulness
I have a particular interest in mindfulness, having trained extensively in mindfulness-based practices, part of which predates my professional therapy work. This informs the personal and professional approach to my work. Mindfulness-informed therapy recognises that body, mind and world are intricately connected, and takes a holistic approach accordingly. I have been facilitating Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) courses for over 20 years for general population, hospital day care patients and NHS staff. I also offer mindfulness-based supervision and training to trainee teachers and/or therapists, and have run numerous workshops for service users, employees and psychotherapy trainees. I also write about mindfulness.
Training and accreditations
My initial professional training was a BACP-accredited Diploma in Counselling (2008) at the Gestalt Centre in London. I am also a BABCP-accredited cognitive behaviour (CBT) therapist, having completed post-graduate training while working in the NHS. I am also a fully trained EMDR therapist.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and an accredited member of the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP) and am bound by their ethical frameworks for good practice (both of these organisations are accredited by the Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care). I am additionally registered as a mindfulness facilitator with the British Association for Mindfulness-based Approaches.
Please contact me if you would like to book an appointment or if you require further information. If you are not sure about therapy, I am happy to discuss what the best options might be for you.
