Availability
I have recently started offering in-person counselling from some cosy rooms in Chichester City Centre, close to rail and bus links and public parking.
I currently have availability for new clients during the day and evenings and at weekends.
About me and my therapy practice
I work with adults who grew up feeling emotionally unsupported, unseen, or having to cope alone, and who now find themselves struggling with anxiety, self-criticism, relationship difficulties, or a fragile sense of self.
I offer a thoughtful, relational therapy for adults who want to understand how their early experiences shaped them, and who want to develop a kinder, more secure relationship with themselves and others. As an ex-boarder, I also work with people affected by the long-term emotional impact of boarding school.

About me and my therapy practice
As a child you learnt to cope by shutting down, staying competent, not letting feelings get in the way. Maybe you were sent away and had to cope on your own. Then, later in life, something gave. Anxiety hit. Grief surfaced. Relationships got shaky. The old 鈥渉old it together鈥� strategy didn鈥檛 work for you anymore.
If you recognise that what鈥檚 happening for you might be because you had to grow up too soon, leaving parts of you behind, counselling can help you explore how those early adaptations shaped your life, and you can begin to meet yourself with understanding rather than judgment. Life can be more than just surviving. My approach is gentle, collaborative, and paced to support you in feeling safe enough to open up and experience genuine emotional connection.
If this resonates, you鈥檙e welcome to get in touch to see whether working together feels right for you.
Practice description
I offer counselling by online video, telephone, in-person and offer home visits in the Chichester to Havant area.
When we work together, the focus is on you and your experience. Sessions are a confidential, calm space. Together, we鈥檒l explore your thoughts, feelings, and patterns at a pace that feels safe, helping you gradually uncover a sense of self that is more authentic, grounded, and yours.
