Counselling in Brighton & Online
Humanistic Counsellor - DipHE, MBACP
Sometimes life can feel uncertain, heavy or just a bit unclear. It’s normal not to know exactly what you need right now. You don’t have to have it all figured out before starting therapy. That’s something we can explore together.
I’m a humanistic counsellor based in Brighton, offering in-person and online sessions. I work with people facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, loss of identity and relationship difficulties.
Counselling provides space to slow down, reflect and begin to make sense of what’s happening. At your own pace and without judgment.

MY APPROACH
I believe the relationship between counsellor and client is central to meaningful and lasting change. I offer a safe, affirming and non-judgemental space where you can reflect, explore and begin to grow in your own time.
My approach is integrative and grounded in humanistic principles. Each session is tailored to you. Your experiences, your needs, your pace, and I work with honesty, care and respect throughout.
I support adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, and questions around identity or direction in life. Many people I work with describe feeling lost, stuck or unsure of themselves, and together we take time to understand what might be happening beneath the surface.
Whether you prefer to meet in person in Brighton & Hove or online from elsewhere in the UK, the focus remains the same: providing a space where you feel heard, supported and free to be yourself.
Whatever brings you here, you’re not alone. This is a space for gentle, honest and human conversation. A place to begin making sense of things and moving forward.
